Change Proof

People are often told to achieve balance in life. However, for Dr. Ivan Misner, founder and Chief Visionary Officer of BNI and dubbed by CNN as the “Father of Modern Networking,” that is unachievable. Debunking that myth, he turns to the importance of harmony. Nobody is perfect. We can’t spin too many plates all at once. Dr. Ivan gives us the reasons why we should aim for harmony instead of balance. He shows the need for margins in life and to take some time for yourself apart from business. Sharing his own journey to success, he talks about how he incubated the idea where BNI came from. He then gives some great advice when it comes to thinking back to your why, the importance of resilience in business and life, and what it means to reinvent your identity.

Creating abundance of every kind, including in the area of money and business, is a really useful thing. Peta Kelly says sometimes it’s difficult to stay in balance but it’s really possible to create harmony in all these areas. Peta is a mother, an entrepreneur, a seven-figure earner, and author of the book, Earth Is Hiring, a playful guidebook for millennials about what Mother Earth is asking of us as individuals and a collective. With a dream to become a doctor by the time she was 25, Peta took the path that most people her age took. Six months into her Ph.D. scholarship, she started seeing signs in her body and that she was no longer on the right path. Peta took a leap of faith and left her Ph.D. and turned to entrepreneurship. Now, she is helping her generation understand what evolution has given us in our DNA that is so different and how to use our unique gifts to create abundance and be a more thriving collective.

Pivot is about change. It's about evolution and innovation. Dave Kalama has been an innovator in sports. His story is larger than life and interesting in so many ways. He's a big wave surfer, tow-in surfer, stand up paddle (SUP) surfer and racer, surf and SUP board shaper, windsurfer, outrigger canoe racer, private adventure guide, and celebrity water sports enthusiast. As a pioneer in that space, Dave and a close friend, Laird Hamilton, have collaborated on some of the most incredible things for the goodwill of the sport. Dave claims he’s a normal dude doing normal things most of the time, and there’s no magic to doing a lot of grand adventures and feats like he’s done. It's committing to a lifestyle that is risky at times which may not be a prosperous life financially but one of the richest in terms of feeding your soul and the memories that you create over time. Dave shares his incredible journey as well as his recipe for pivoting and what the metaphor of simply following the bubble means.

Bad things can happen, even to people that are in a good place, but it's how we respond to it. Life and business strategist Chris Salem says the problem and the solution are in the same place, you just have to go within and understand the root cause behind the effects of limiting patterns in our business and personal lives. Chris adds we have to be able to resolve the root cause at the source, to truly forgive the source, and not only the source itself but also more importantly you. He explains that at that point when you truly release it from your system, you have the ability now to be looking through the same process of meditation and journaling to find the solution, find your purpose, and then adopt better habits and disciplines and a specific life and business strategy that takes you to where you want to go, what your true purpose and calling is, and whatever your duty is to serve others.

Alvin Toffler said, “The new brain, the new education, the new leader of tomorrow is the brain and super change that can pivot.” That's a brain that can learn much faster, unlearn faster, and relearn faster. We're in a constant going mode now more than ever where the pace of life, the pace of change, and the pace of everything going on is exponentially greater. It's a different environment to conduct business. It's a business-focused and a business-centric environment where people are not only able to collaborate and cooperate, but they're also acquiring new skillsets. Berny Dohrmann, economist, investment banker, and founder and chairman of Forbes.com’s #1 Must Attend Business Conference, wrote a book on the topic called Super Change, and shares the premise of that book and where it fits into a lot of the change in the form of disruption we're seeing in the world today.

Life throws us into some pretty unexpected places, but some aren’t just accidental. They are there for a reason and maybe one of those is for us to pivot our life towards something better. It's important to show up for those moments and tap into the present and allow them to transform you. Professional coach, speaker, and facilitator Johnny Blackburn believes that there is a definite connection between how we move our bodies and how we feel. Johnny thinks everything is connected, and he lets us in on his book, Presence. He teaches on tapping into presence where people find expressions more than the words can say. He also covers topics from our nervous system, resilience, technology, and authenticity.

Consciousness is the basis of reality. That’s what Mark Gober is asserting in his book called An End to Upside Down Thinking. Mark Gober is an author whose worldview was turned upside down in late 2016 when he learned of a world-changing science which suggests that contrary to the mainstream view, consciousness does not come from the brain. After researching extensively for nearly a year, he became convinced that a paradigm shift was in order: biology does not produce consciousness; rather, consciousness produces biology. Mark talks about his concept of consciousness and how it can affect our happiness and the way we live. He goes through his book where he recounts his journey, from exploring compelling scientific evidence from diverse spaces ranging from quantum physics to psychic phenomena to near-death experiences, and beyond. With his book, Mark aims to shift our view of the human potential and understand the true nature of reality.

At times, we find ourselves in a state of fear which blocks us from all the opportunities that will show up for us to succeed. This leads TED speaker, award winning social entrepreneur, and somatic intelligence life coach Chen Lizra to believe how people are actually more afraid to succeed than not. This is the reason why so many end up self-sabotaging because pain and struggle seems more familiar. Yet many people don’t realize this which causes them to continue with their old ways and crumble into fear. Chen takes us into a path of learning how to live and think in greatness through bodywork and experiencing somatic intelligence. She also talks about the importance of feeling and learning through the body.
