In this episode I am speaking with Professional Speaker & Author, Erick Rheam.  Erick has been training and publicly speaking for 22 years. He’s delivered hundreds of presentations to military officers in the U.S. Army, athletes, high school students, business leaders, and public officials. Erick has a long and rich utility background for over two decades. He served as Director of Education for an international public speaking training firm and now personally trains professional athletes, celebrities, executives, and professional speakers on the art of communication.

A published author and graduate of the United States Military Academy, Erick, travels the country and speaks to organizations and associations on human dynamics and achieving significance. Erick’s mission is to motivate high achievers to live life beyond excellence and to dig deeper into the human experience so that his audience will become inspired to pursue significance.

When he’s not speaking, he’s at home enjoying life in Southern Indiana with his amazing wife, Alia, his three young children and trusty companion, his Labrador Retriever, Stella and his new Doberman, Oynx.In this episode we discuss:

1) The premise for Erick’s book, Rise Above Chaos, how hitting rock bottom was the catalyst for him, and how he articulates and identifies with “the Beast” that we all face and how it can learn to not let the beast dictate and control our lives. 2) Identifying our significance, and how this comes as the intersection of our passions (what we are willing to suffer for) and our superpowers, the gifts that we don’t see the power of because they come easy to us. 3)  The 7 different elements to insulate us from the beast having control in our daily lives.
