Is business is being used to evolve humanity—?
From Jeffrey's website The Courageous Messenger:

"We are at a defining moment in our history and we are stepping into a new world that none of us have seen before. We have the potential to create Heaven on Earth through the vehicles and structures we call business.

That requires leaders like you and I to be more diligent than ever in staying attuned to what our unique role is in reshaping this world.

It also requires us to be pragmatic as much as we are visionary."

Jeffrey Van Dyk is an international speaker, strategist and guide who works with highly successful leaders and founders who know that they are meant to transition into their life’s legacy and have a meaningful, lasting impact on the world.

In this episode we discuss:

What is the courageous messenger?  how Jeffrey got to where he is.

Changing the story for humanity: “Business is where evolution is happening fastest”

Helping leaders craft new markets for visionary work

Jeffrey’s client who wanted to ‘develop real estate that helped people self-actualise’

Your life put you on the path to prepare for your calling

How we develop ‘compensations’ e.g. put on a show to cover up the wounds

Jeffrey’s Life Phd process:

What happened?

How did you feel?

What did you crave? 

What did you do?

What skills did you develop?

What beliefs did you adopt?

Your ideal market will share the feelings that you have experienced a lot of

From 'over-performance' to...
Dropping the mask - "learning to have the audience come to me, instead of me going to them".

Jeffrey’s journey into spirituality - his first experience of channelling

How Jeffrey came to coaching

Every city brokers a different kind of power. How LA holds the 'power of story'.

Jeffrey - on finding ‘my people’ - being an edge-rider 

The paradox of standing out to fit in.

Differentiation & retention: creating something that makes ‘our people’ feel good; 

Having the courage to state your bigger purpose honestly - without ego’s ‘stickiness’
