. Want to do great things? Then take off your blinders and body armor -- and tap your knowledge, experience, creativity, intuition, emotion, and potential. Everything you need is ready and waiting. It's simply a matter of taking action. This session includes virtual visits with some of the greatest achievers of all time -- people like Albert Einstein, Mother Teresa, Thomas Edison, Martin Luther King Jr., Gandhi, and Nelson Mandela. Their stories inform and inspire while showing how we can make the most of our own inner best. Albert Einstein began his career as an assistant patent clerk. On the side, he mixed physics, math, and nonstop curiosity to produce three groundbreaking discoveries in one year. We can all make the most of our inner Einstein, as long as we're willing to mix our deep interests with curiosity and commitment. Mother Teresa worked as a servant leader long before anyone coined the term. She walked the talk of a meaningful mission, bringing care and dignity to the world's neediest people. Legions have followed her lead. We too can make a difference if we remain mission-driven. Thomas Edison created an invention factory that gave us the incandescent lamp, the phonograph, moving pictures, and much more. He leveraged his ample imagination while remaining practical. We can put our own Edison-like qualities to work if we remember that invention is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration. As the session unfolds, attendees are prompted to think in new ways about big issues that affect their potential: Einstein said that the most important decision of our lives is whether we view the universe as basically friendly or basically hostile. Talk about the ultimate fork in the road! Seeing might be believing, but the reverse is also true. In order to create, we must exert the power of belief. People talk about knowledge, skills, and abilities. But what about deep interests and imagination? What we focus on creates our future. If our inner talk is positive or negative, that's what we can expect tomorrow, and the next day, and the next. The session ends on a thoroughly practical note -- with each person crafting one or two specific action steps. In sessions lasting 1-3 hours, there's time for facilitated dialogue and additional activities. For more information, click to send a note or call 614-488-9721.
