                  • As leaders we play a role in helping people to see themselves differently.
                  • Reciprocal nature of power: I empower you to empower me to empower you.
                  • Not making a decision is a decision in itself.
                  • If you want to be a leader, you must speak out what everyone else is whispering.

                                        Sometimes we are not sure how to navigate ourselves in life and then the simple answer to the confusion is to ask for help.

                                            • The Secret To Happiness Has To Do With The War On Comfort Zones with Martelize Brink - 004

                                              Martelize woke up one morning with pain in her legs. Doctors suspected a virus, infection or inflammation in her spinal cord and this left her paralyzed. This all happened by the age of 14. Martelize has been in a wheelchair for over 20 years due to this illness she experienced as a teen. Through her seemingly discomforting situation, she felt complete freedom and joy and chose to look at life through the lens of optimism. In 2012 she started the Pink Penguin project in support of charities that challenge her outside of her comfort zone. Via this channel she’s undertaken a number of extreme adventures including kayaking to Robben Island and visiting the forests of Rwanda to see gorillas, all without the use of her legs and that is what inspires me. 


                                              Some questions I asked:

                                                      • To be a great runner, or any type of athlete for that matter, takes a lot of hard work and discipline. It takes discipline and also builds discipline

In this episode we discuss how and why we should live a life according to our highest values.

                                                          Some questions I asked:

                                                          • Key takeaways:

                                                            • Cells are more responsive to energy and our thinking than to the actual material in the body. With medicine, only 10% of the receptors on your cells respond to chemicals.
                                                            • Your genetics get triggered by an outside influence, it’s called epigenetics. It is far more influential than your genes than your physiology than your actual genes.
                                                            • The key to inspiration at work: look at the job traits or tasks that you physically do and link them to what’s most important to you in your life, your priorities or values.
                                                            • There lies massive power in gratitude
                                                            • You get what you are, not what you want. If you are lacking, you get more lack.
                                                            • The quality of life is based on the quality of questions you ask yourself
