"And that's how I trained hypnotherapist’s from across the globe. I've trained thousand's of people from all over the world. And what we want to do is we want to make sure that we're actually dealing with the cause and not just the symptoms. So, it is a programme, but even when you look at it, 12 sessions, that's nothing compared to people who come to us for depression or chronic anxiety, who have seen a psychiatrist for years, and years. And all they do is go from one antidepressant to another and nothing has really changed except there's been numbed from the world.” TIME STAMP SUMMARY 02:55 How Eleni got into the world of hypnotherapy 11:21 Being a hypnotherapist in a pandemic 19:20 A global conscious awakening

| 23 Feb 2022 | In Conversation - Raamon Newman The Science of Protection | 00:24:31 | |
“In layman's terms it simply means being able to be more awake and alert, be more relaxed and rested, and being able to see those bigger pictures, see those finer details to fill those bigger pictures, and allow things to happen, more naturally, more organically. And so, you know, usually the top leaders, they're working hard, but they're not working hard, because they're functioning from a state of simplicity. In that natural state, where you're not overthinking things, you're not under thinking things, you're just in tune with the right thought at the right time.”

| 02 Mar 2022 | In Conversation - Derrick McManus Human Durability | 00:22:27 | |
“He was still standing in direct line of fire when he was risking his life to save mine. Bullets are whizzing around us, but he stabilised me in 10 minutes in the brick line of fire.

Where to find Derrick McManus? LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/derrickmcmanus Website https://www.derrickmcmanus.com/
Who is Derrick McManus? Derrick McManus was a South Australian Police officer operating in the elite Special Tasks And Rescue (STAR) Group. He held specialist skills as a sniper, diver and was trained by the military elite Special Air Services Regiment (SAS) in counter-terrorist tactics. This is a physically, mentally and emotionally demanding environment. It is an extreme, potentially overwhelming, VUCA environment in every way.
Derrick’s team had been tasked to arrest a high-risk offender. He was obviously not very keen on being arrested. He fired 18 times in less than 5 seconds and hit Derrick 14 times. Derrick was then lying on the ground bleeding for 3 hours prior to his rescue. It was also anticipated that Derrick would suffer massive post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and be in psychological therapy for decades after such a massive traumatic event.
Three months after the shooting, Derrick had a single appointment with the Director of the Adelaide Centre for Traumatic Stress Studies – an international expert in traumatic stress. Derrick defied all odds and amazed everyone when he was immediately psychologically cleared to go back to full duties with the elite STAR Group (obviously his physical injuries took much longer).
Derrick had proactively prepared himself physically, mentally, AND emotionally for the challenges he could expect as a result of the choices he had made. He took responsibility for his actions and for all possible consequences. This format has been developed into the model for Human Durability and forms the basis of the philosophies within the Australian Centre for Human Durability.
Derrick has been a speaker and trainer on the international speaking circuit for the past 20 years. He’s presented to audiences of 7 people to 4000 people, 5-year-old students to staff/team leaders to executives/CEO’s through to retirees. Derrick provides the insights and the tools to go beyond resilience to durability and create sustained optimum performance. He will show you how to create greater success for your people, leaders, and the organization.

Who is Rael Bricker? In 2013 I was given a rude awakening when after a season of triathlons, I decided to run a marathon. All this was part of a plan before turning 50. Each time I ran, I experienced neck pain and it was discovered that I had two blocked arteries. I was the lucky one- I dodged a bullet and ended up with two stents. This experience helped me to find my purpose in life. I found my purpose in sharing the experiences of journeying and achieving excellence with business owners and entrepreneurs around the world. After 30+ years as a serial entrepreneur, in everything from education to finance to fitness, I’ve now made it my mission to share my knowledge and expertise with others. Seeing that light come on, and connections being made in people’s heads as to how they can weave my experiences and advice into their businesses reinforces that this is where I need to be. From being 6000ft underground in a mine, to starting an education business (that grew to have 4000 plus students) and spending years working in venture capital, I have has seen it all. I have listed companies on multiple international stock exchanges, and my financial services group has settled more than $3bn in loans over 20 years. I have a diverse work history combined with unique global research interviews with companies in more than 25 countries. Taking this knowledge and experience makes me perfect to work with leaders and managers on growing and achieving excellence, as I have experienced the rollercoaster myself, and know how to navigate the twists, turns and loops. If you need me to have academic qualifications, I hold two Masters degrees; an MBA and MSc (Engineering) and am currently a Fellow of the MFAA (Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia), a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) (Professional Speakers Australia) and a Member of AICD (Australian Institute of Company Directors). My most important qualification is from the school of hard knocks and my most important skill is being able to listen to your needs and design a solution to help you. I am the first inspirationalist in Australia with Integrus Global and a Mentor with both Mentored With Mark Bouris and Mastermind.space. I love serving and contributing to others and in 2021 I have served as the President of Professional Speakers Australia in Western Australia. As my surname suggests, I am about laying the right bricks as the foundation to your personal and business success on the journey to excellence. | |||

With 40 years of hospitality industry experience, Nick Mautone believes in the power of mentorship, leadership, collaboration, and possibility. Nick is the architect of an inventive process called “Hospitality Sabermetrics” — think Moneyball for Hospitality and has a sixth sense when it comes to foreseeing trends. He is known for nurturing sustained success, streamlining operations, and aligning core values in every sort of hospitality business. For Nick Mautone, the spark came as a young kid growing up in Mt. Vernon, NY where he spent weekends making cheese and handmade pasta for his dad’s specialty food business. While he dreamed of becoming a NASA scientist (and still loves looking up at the stars), he worked his way through school in restaurants—bussing tables and backing bars. Eventually he and his siblings opened an innovative pizzeria, American Pie, on the Upper West Side. Science became a hobby, and restaurants became his life. Since then, Nick has worked with some of the most iconic and influential restaurants in the world including Gotham Bar & Grill, Hudson River Club, and most notably, Gramercy Tavern where he was managing partner alongside Danny Meyer and Tom Colicchio for seven years and helped define and nurture a fledgling idea Danny and the group coined called “Enlightened Hospitality.” With decades of experience behind him, in 2003, Nick founded his management and consulting business, Mautone Enterprises. The business was born of a desire to share his process, experience, mentorship, and leadership. Whether building a strong foundation for a first-time restaurateur, or turning around a big ship on the wrong course, for Nick the process is about grass roots collaboration, helping chefs and owners come together, developing systems for success, and digging deep into the numbers and the P&L, to uncover what needs to be tweaked, edited, or completely uprooted, delivering holistic success—including profitability, streamlined and efficient operations, a sense of community, harmony, and growth among all staff, and sustainability of concept. | |||

Summary of Caleb DeLon “Unless you're one of the rare individuals who actually thrives in that environment, it's going to be best for you to write your book in community. And especially when we're talking about content creation, to bring in someone to ask you questions. In this, this takes speaking your content to the next level. It's one thing to hit record on your phone and just begin to talk. It's another to have a friend sitting across from you asking you questions that you then respond to, because what that friend can do is by the questions they ask, help you to remember stories that you forgotten and come up with insights that you would never have done simply monologuing.”

Who is Candice Mama? My name is Candice Mama, I was born in 1991 in South Africa a country that was gripped by the grossly violent and oppressive system of Apartheid and this is my story. In September 2014 , The National Prosecuting Authority reached out to my family to enquire about whether or not we would like to meet Eugene de Kock ( a former South African Police colonel, torturer, and assassin, active under the apartheid government. Nicknamed “ Prime Evil” and sentenced to 212 years in prison under 89 charges). As many would imagine, it wasn’t a decision we came to without many dinner-table discussions and some trepidation from members of the family. We agreed to schedule our meeting for the following Tuesday. In the days to come, a sense of self-reflection enveloped me. My dad, Glenack Masilo Mama, was brutally killed in a vicious and unjust time in our country’s history. My memories of him were nothing but compilations of different people’s stories and pictures we collected over time. However, the one thing I knew for sure about my father was that he had been tortured and then burnt to death by a man named Eugene de Kock. I went on to read numerous articles and books about the man dubbed Prime Evil and his legacy, which was that of being the face and embodiment of an unjustifiable system of hate and oppression. Growing up in a house where reading and introspection were encouraged allowed me to be able to contextualise my dad’s killing. Which, in my mind, made his death mean something. He died fighting a system and wanting a different country for my brother and myself, which we are extremely fortunate to now be living in. This made me realise I couldn’t hate De Kock because love and hate cannot operate in the same space. If I wanted to resent him, I would never be able to fully enjoy the life my dad and so many others willingly or unwillingly died | |||

“The temptation in Western cultures to quickly move from relationship building, to securing and then close the deal. However, from an Asian perspective, the emphasis is on establishing a quality and a long-term relationship first, and I call this the 20-year rule. So, here's what I mean, if I don't get the impression from you that we will continue having a solid relationship in 20 years’ time, I'm less likely to invest in the relationship right now. Now, this emphasis on relationship building is a prerequisite for building trust and negotiating a fair deal in Asia. And that's not the same, in a lot of other countries are certainly not to the same degree. So, I guess what I'm trying to say to warn here in a way is that if you appear too preoccupied with just the short-term contracts at hand, this could cause alarm for your Asian partner, who in turn may decide to choose a competitor whose values align more closely with theirs.”

"Do you know your conversion rate? If you don't let's start there as to find out what it is this guy we dug into it, he had a 20% conversion rate. So, for every five people his team spoke with, he would get you know one of those become a client. And I asked him when he was doing the sales and selling how many how much would he convert? And he said he would convert 80% of the time, right? So, he would get four out of five. So, there's big disparity there. So, we set to work and identify what were the gaps? How could we get that sales up to 50%? Could we get the teams to be moving that way? Now we set that as a standard. And we put in some small steps and processes along the way. Now within three to six months, his team were up to 40%. So, they're going from 20% to 40%, just by focusing on making a few small tweaks and changes.

Victoria has overcome tremendous odds to pursue a life of corporate success and leadership. It’s easy to let our circumstances stand in our way. But we don’t have to. Circumstances of our past only rob us of our future if we let them. Victoria chose not to let her circumstances be her excuses. By age 24, Victoria was offered her first executive role with a large, dynamic, and fast paced organization. Yes, that’s dreadfully young to have such accountability and responsibility. It was her tenacity of spirit, her confidence that she could do the job, and her grit to see that she could rise to the occasion, empowered by the leaders around her that led to her success. As a member of the LGBTQ community, Victoria knows about diversity and inclusion, and why one without the other is of little value. It’s not enough to have other voices at the table when those opinions aren’t being heard. Victoria’s messages have stemmed from her struggle, and success, in being accepted as a woman in the male dominated board room, and as a member of the LGBTQ community | |||

“Delegate, delegate, delegate, I've got a lot of stuff written around this one as well…For me, the first one that comes to mind is like an IT person, you know, they're supposed to approve something, and that just freezes 100 people until that's approved or reviewed or having a conference call about it. So, getting those decisions structurally out of your hands, into the people who can make them is critically important. Making sure you don't have centres, you know, gravitational centres of decision making that slow down the momentum and execution. And I'm a huge fan of starting as a leader, if you're not, if you're not putting your feet up on the desk and staring out the window one hour a day, you're headed for disaster.” Ken Stearns Top Five Tips For Trading It All In 1.

Ken Stearns Bio For 20 years, Ken Stearns lived and worked in 15 countries across Asia, immersing himself in new cultures, languages, and experiences. Along the way, he found himself consumed by the thoughts inside himself, as they fought to be heard. Writing became his outlet, his way of processing the world around him and sharing his ideas with others. And with a lot of time on his hands in cars, planes, and airports it poured out of him. As he embraced change and pursued his passion for writing, he discovered new depths of growth and transformation. Life is full of unexpected twists and turns, but taking chances and trying new things can lead to unimaginable opportunities and personal fulfillment.
Ken’s Rules are a collection of life and business strategies that are an amalgamation of his life and business experiences. Ideas he picked up here and there, he looked at them as analogies for certain situations, theories to use, to learn from, thoughts, concepts, trials and personal experiments, presented to used here and there in your own life and business. In his early fifties, he decided to replace his habit of reading with writing while traveling. Little did he know that this simple change would lead him on a transformative journey of self-discovery and creativity. | |||

“When I say about expressing your needs verbally, it also goes for positive behaviours. But then when it goes to setting clear boundaries, it's extremely important, specifically for behaviours that cause problem for us or behaviours that might be violating. Therefore, if someone is expressing a kind of behaviour, that creates issue for us, setting the boundary very clearly, is the most crucial thing. And the funny thing about these kinds of behaviours, the pathogenic ones, as we psychologists like to call them, is that you need to basically burn them from the root.” Zoe Fragou Top Five Tips For Fighting Toxic Work Cultures 1.

Hey! Rich here, I call myself the ‘Geek Master’ to my team because I geek out over systems, processes, and apps! Being in business shouldn’t mean having less freedom in life. That’s why I’ve been obsessed with creating systems and processes with entrepreneurs and business owners to create freedom for the owner, but also their virtual teams to work flexible times and wherever they want. I’ve been designing, building, implementing, and reviewing processes and systems for well over 8 years working with clients like Deutsche Bank, Nestle and Macquarie Bank. However, after countless hours pouring my heart and soul into projects with little fulfilment, I left my corporate career to start an online men’s coaching business. It ran itself allowing me to travel the world, spend time with my family and even to move to Singapore to call home for some time. All of this was possible through building the right systems in place so that I’m not chained to my business. After being asked by so many other entrepreneurs to systemise their business’s (including a company of 40+ remote employees). I created the Freedom Systems with the sole-aim to help entrepreneurs who are trapped in their business get their freedom back… So, they can spend more time with their family and do what matters most... | |||

Douglas Brown Bio Doug is passionate about employee retention and believes strongly that employees who enjoy their careers and find fulfilment in their work are more likely to become loyal employees that remain with their organizations for extended tenures. In addition, when their needs and careers are supported, they become strong brand ambassadors advocating for the company and helping to build the team morale and strong relationships that have a positive impact on employee retention. Doug believes that there are three core focuses to strong employee retention: cultivating engagement drivers, creating rewarding work experiences, and building a career development plan for every employee. Ultimately, this also contributes to business success through employee growth and development as well as reduced turnover costs and loss of knowledge and skills. For the past 30 years, Doug has served in roles from Supervisor to President, overseeing production, quality control, sales and marketing, administration, distribution, and fulfilment.

“The first word in a question is often the most important. So, if you ask, Why did you do that, then that comes across as accusatory. And then you're setting up a more aggressive space, but if you open instead with what was going on for you, or tell me what was going on for you? Or how did that arise? Or where did I go wrong? So those first questions, and those first words in those questions is really where it sets the tone. The way you start a conversation is where you end a conversation.” Wendy Nash Top Five Tips (Plus One!) For Running A Business 1. Be curious about your blind spots. 2. When a conversation goes awry, engage with the impact of what you said not your intention. 3. Be kind to yourself. 4. Nip problems in the bud. 5. Use tasks to ensure you don’t miss deadlines. 6.

Wendy Nash helps ambitious high-tech startup founders improve productivity and decrease procrastination without increasing their workload to build a profitable business and not burn out. Unlike other life coaches, she works with knowing the mind, not just the mindset. It’s not just overcoming your limiting beliefs! Wendy created a process called Meditation Coaching where she guides people to set up and maintain a regular meditation practice that fits with their lifestyle and improves understanding themselves in order to understand others better. If you think loving-kindness meditation is only for the soft and weak, bring to mind someone who rejected your business idea or funding proposal and wish them kindness and care – it’s tough! This meditation process helps gain awareness with what you’re good at and where the gaps are so you grow a sound business. Wendy’s clients achieved financially strong businesses despite cofounder conflict, funding rejections, staff underperformance, almost burning out, investor negotiations, constant fear of failure and pivoting new directions in work and life. In other words, she focuses on turning negatives into supercharged positives.

Olivia Parkes Bio Olivia Parkes was born in the United Kingdom, dividing her time between her hometown of Sheffield and the bustling capital, London. From a young age, Olivia displayed a strong entrepreneurial spirit and a penchant for system-oriented thinking. During her academic journey at University College London, where Olivia pursued a degree in Pharmacology, she embarked on her entrepreneurial journey, founding her first e-commerce business at the age of 19. Subsequently, Olivia ventured into the realm of digital marketing by establishing a successful digital marketing agency. Olivia's career path took an intriguing turn as she decided to specialize in sales, becoming a high-ticket sales representative. This shift in focus allowed Olivia to achieve remarkable sales figures, consistently selling packages worth $100,000 per month. Her unique insights into the world of business brought her into close collaboration with CEOs in the online coaching and marketing sectors, many of whom boasted six to seven-figure incomes. Observing a recurring theme among these CEOs—profits falling short of their potential due to inadequate systems, automations, and operational strategies—Olivia decided to intervene. Taking on the role of an operational leader, she implemented strategic changes, made crucial hires, and streamlined marketing and sales efforts. In just 12 months, her efforts propelled the CEO's business from $350,000 to an impressive $850,000. This success led Olivia to extend her expertise to other clients, assuming the role of a fractional Chief Operating Officer (COO). Her mission became clear: to relieve entrepreneurs from the exhaustion of constantly burning out by implementing efficient systems that genuinely save time and boost profitability. Crucially, Olivia aimed to design systems that teams would enthusiastically adopt, recognizing that unused systems were ineffectual.... | |||

After 20 years in business and at the top of my game '08/09 hit and I lost everything. At this same time, I had a wife and six children under the age of four. As a Marine, champion boxer and black belt I'm not a fan of losing, so I had to do the hard work of determining why I failed so catastrophically. I connected all the dots (and there were a lot of them) and started to rebuild and regain success. At this same time business owners are trapped in the Owner Prison where they serve their business instead of it serving them. I show them how to Escape the Owner Prison. other entrepreneurs were watching and asking me how I did it. Next thing you know I'm helping them create their business to not only withstand hardship but begin to thrive and create a life with balance in the five most important areas of life - Faith, Family, Finances, Fitness and Friendships. I even wrote a best-selling book called Escape the Owner Prison where I detailed my story and how they can escape themselves. I learned that if I could help business owners understand the power that business ownership has, that it will not only balance their life, but it can do the same for those under their employment. That in turn transfers to their families which then influences the communities they live in. Now, do this with 10,000 Small businesses and we have the opportunity to alter the lives of millions of people for the better... | |||
