Journey To Success

Being the opening speaker for a prestigious conference like The Napoleon Hill International Convention is a great honor as well as a great responsibility. It can set the tone for the rest of the convention. People from numerous countries, some who had traveled for 2 days from North America, including myself, attended the convention in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. After Adil Dalal’s talk on The Power of Visualization ™, I knew why he had been chosen and why his topic was so important, not just for the convention but for everyone.

Adil’s creation of the Pinnacle Performance Zone concept in his book ‘The 12 Pillars of Project Excellence™ and the soon to be launched Pinnacle Performance Zone software gives everyone the opportunity to turn the art of visualization into a science. The live demonstration clearly showed everyone how they could train themselves to improve and perfect their

visualization skills. Improving your skill at visualizing also improves the focus of your subconscious mind, which is vitally important in realizing your Definite Purpose and goals.

To me, Adil and his topic, The Power of Visualization ™, is in my top 10 both as a speaker and as a topic. His new software will help thousands, perhaps millions, of people achieve their goals faster than they ever imagined, or visualized before.

Mr. Inside Sales Mike Brooks gives the listener Three Powerful Steps to build a Multi Million Dollar Inside Sales Team. Mike also shares his insight and views on the work of Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich and what he feels it mentally takes to have a successful mindset.

Tina Darbyshire – Founder & President, Flexstation Fitness & Nutrition Inc.

Although I was born in California, I was adopted and grew up in the small town of Bella Coola on the North Coast of BC.  My early years were not easy and I had many challenges which I welcome you to read about in my blogs on my website.  Instead of falling into the trap and being angry and negative, I kept a positive mind and knew that God had a plan for me so I took my lemons & made lemon-aide. 

I didn’t become a Personal Trainer as a “career choice” at first I merely wanted to get into shape but also wanted to learn to do things the right way, with the proper education I needed to be successful at accomplishing my goals so at the age of 30 off to school I went!  I am now a competitive natural bodybuilder and at the age of 46, in 2009 & 2010 became a World Class Athlete with FAME World Tour & the WNSO .  I have taken my past life experiences and combined them with my education and I have spent the last 17 years as a Personal Trainer & Life Coach and have made it my life’s work to empower others to believe in themselves and help them realize that they are WORTH IT but they had to be willing to DO WHAT EVER IT TAKES.

More recently I have become business partners with FAME and their subsidiary organizations; FAME Media Group, FAME World Tour, BodyProud.org, and Truestar Health.  We inspire individuals to overcome their obstacles whether it be body, mind, or spirit related.

Diane Pancel is a seasoned artist, performer and songwriter, drawing inspiration from her Portuguese/Hungarian background to give her music a strong sense of international soul. This dynamic vocalist is an active member of the Victoria performing arts community. One of Diane's passions is the theatre where she has performed in such shows as HAIR, Love Matters; Cabaret at the Met, The Songs We Sing, and for two years was a featured singer in the Butchart Gardens’ Showtime.

Involved in the jazz & blues scene, she has worked and shared the stage with such artists asDavid Foster, Nelly Furtado, Matt Dusk, Anna WIlson, Louise Rose, Morry Stearns, Misha Tsiganov, Tobin Stokes and the late Linton Garner. She also was 1st runner up to the CCMA Singing Competition which gave her the opportunity to work and record in Nashville with such artists as Garth Brooks’ fiddle player Rob Hajacobs.

Diane’s performances range from across Canada and the United States. Last year she had a very successful series of engagements in New York City where she sang at the Metropolitan Room and the Birdland Nightclub, two of NYC’s favorite cabarets.

She has also lent her voice to many radio commercials and voice over works from across Canada, Unites States and Europe. To date, you can hear her in over 200 radio jingles! Diane's current album “Introducing”, in which she co-produced, is currently playing in Canada on CBC and receiving rave reviews. 

In December of 2010, Diane won the AMWAY IBO talent show in which she was chosen as the "wildcard" out of over 1000 submissions! Diane was also the opening act for Canadian crooner Matt Dusk in Victoria, BC.

In many ways, Tim Reid has done the impossible. In only a few short years, the Chief Operating Officer of MacDonald Island Park has taken the ailing facility—a project so far over-budget and behind schedule, to one of the most envied recreation facilities in the country.

Macdonald Island Park sits among some of the most beautiful scenery the city has to offer, an imposing collection of buildings that boast an Olympic-sized swimming pool, waterslides, a state-of-the-art fitness centre, various ice surfaces, a beautiful golf course, and numerous other features.

Reid’s passion has always been recreation, but he says that, as his family has grown with the arrival of his young son Liam, he has new perspective on just how important recreation is to the heart of a community.

Macdonald Island Park is the home of many fundraising initiates, and most recently held the Parsons Creek Fire Benefit concert with all proceeds supporting those residents.

Christopher van der Hoff was once a "certified psychotic". In fact, over 30 years ago, Christopher was "involuntarily committed" to a mental institution, locked up and not permitted to leave for more than three and a half months.

Christopher credits his challenges with his mental illness for much of his success in sales. But salespeople don't have to be crazy to benefit from his insights.

Sales executives, meeting planners and speakers bureaus aren't crazy to put Christopher in front of what is the most demanding and jaded audience. Because sometimes, just sometimes, the one thing that can help the sales force break through to the next level may sound crazy, but really is the smartest thing you can do.

Brett Wilson is one of Canada’s most successful businessmen and respected philanthropists.  A high profile Calgarian who proudly wears the label “maverick”, Brett is one of the founding partners of Calgary’s FirstEnergy Capital Corp. He helped turn an intrepid start-up into the energy industry’s leading investment bank, which has brokered thousands of financings and M&A deals worth over $150 billion.  Brett’s instincts for investing in the right people have also translated into major holdings in the energy, agriculture, real estate, sports, and entertainment industries, financed through his private investment bank, Prairie Merchant.  His personal charisma and small-town charm have gained him a national audience, a platform he uses to inspire his brand of “prairie ethics” – focused on personal integrity, a commitment to community, and work/life balance. Brett uses his own larger-than-life story to illustrate what he has learned about the real meaning of success.  A self-described “capitalist with a heart”, Brett spends almost as much time giving money away as he does earning it. With an innovative approach to philanthropy, he has given – and engaged others to give – tens of millions to non-profit initiatives.  According to Alberta Venture Magazine, who named Brett Business Person of the Year in 2009, “he is single-handedly redefining the meaning of success in work-and wealth-obsessed Calgary.”  His commitment to excellence and innovation has not only revolutionized the business sector in which he operates, but the community in which he lives, inspiring others to see how they can leave an equally unique mark on the world.
