I notice in your bio it says that you’re a journalist, who do you write for?
Wrote for Canadian Living Magazine, CTV National News, recently wrote & created the documentary called “Owning the Zone”, the e-book and fully written book to go with the documentary will be completed soon. Also wrote a TV series called “Somewhere I Belong” and working on another book but cannot reveal the name as of yet.
What kind of articles do you write?
Health, fitness, anti – aging/leadership,confidence building.
After watching your youtube videos, you strike me as a confident person. Have you always been confident with who you are?
Yes, No and now totally – it is a process.
Public speaking is a big fear for many kinesiology people and it is something that stops many people from expressing their talents and reaching their full potential. What would you suggest to help overcome their fears? I love to share knowledge. I created and teach a course called the Art n’ Tool of the Pitch which totally assist the person in breaking through these fears and come to really enjoy the process. Taught this at the Vancouver Film School and Electronic Arts University to writers and producers. It is a wonderful process which allows for one to package their material, becoming confident and anchors are installed so they always have access to the strategy. Too, there is nothing like having a ( kinesiology ) balance to work with the limiting belief and assist with the imprint of an empowering one
.Reading through your bio, you seem to have many skills ’in your toolkit’. What is the most important tool that you work with and why?There is no most important. They all work together. Every session starts out the same but really it is what the client needs that predicts how the session goes but the tools all get used.If I were to walk into your clinic for my first session, what would I expect to come away with?
Using a combination of body centered techniques, sensitivity training, and mastery, when working with me, you will take a journey into your body to uncover and witness with the full light and compassion of your Presence the core beliefs that have been holding you back from your essence of being. This allows your being’s organic capacity for self healing to activate and reverse the unconscious programs that have kept you from seeing yourself in the full magnificence of who you really are. For 99% of the people who visit me, for the first time to actually start to get a glimpse into who they really are not who they have been programmed to be.
From your biography and the testimonials there, your work seems to be about leadership and bringing out those qualities in people… what are the ingredients of leadership?
No one can answer this like my mentor Denis Waitely. I totally subscribe to his and Phil Jackson’s philosophy. Phil is to be featured in my documentary “Owning the Zone.”A good way to think of leadership is the process of freeing your team members to do the best work they possibly can. I have followed NBA basketball coach Phil Jackson’s career for some time.In his career, Jackson has gone from coaching the record-setting champion Chicago Bulls to the present NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers.
He says his principal task is creating an environment in which his players can flourish.In communicating with his championship teams, Jackson convinced them that they had the talent to win championships and that the main goal of the coach was freeing them to use that talent.Today’s business team members say they want, more than anything else, the autonomy to do their jobs without the boss’s interference. Nearly a decade into the new century, it’s already clear that the CEOs of our best-run companies believe that the more power leaders have, the less they should use.
The job of the team leader is to set a mission, decide upon a strategic direction, achieve the necessary cooperation, delegate authority and then let people innovate.To do that we all could take a hint from the late football coach Paul “Bear” Bryant. Before his retirement as one of the leading coaches in college football history at Alabama, Bryant observed:I’m just a plowhand from Arkansas, but I’ve learned how to put and hold a team together. I’ve learned how to lift some individuals up and how to calm others down, until finally they’ve got one heartbeat, together, as a team.
To do that, there are just three things I’d ever have to say: If anything went wrong, I did it. If it went semi-good, then we did it. If anything went real good, then you did it! That’s really all it takes to get other people to win for you.
The key to authentic leadership is to listen to your followers, and then open the door for them to lead themselves. The secret is empowerment. The main incentive is genuine caring and recognition.
The five most important words a leader can speak are: “I am proud of you.”
The four most important are: “What is your opinion?”
The three most important are: “If you please.”
The two most important are: “Thank you.”
And the most important single word of all is: “You!”- Denis Waitley
As your work is about leadership, confidence, performance and motivation,how does kinesiology help to bring out these qualities in your clients?
Kinesiology assists in the stripping of institutional lies and myths that encrust people. Through Kinesiology they how to use their mind to direct their emotions.They learn how to use their brain to direct their behaviour.They will break free of old negative survival patterns using their own positive patterns that keep their body balanced. This includes different methods of developing chi, relaxation, letting go, concentration, breathing actively so you are congruently integrated resulting in accessing extraordinary endurance, balance, ease, and psychological confidence.They become aligned on logical levels of environment, behaviour which includes language, senses, movement, experience base, capabilities, values, beliefs, over man giving them the feeling of being in control. A unifying experience involving their entire sense of self. The environment, higher sense of self, their potential, their destiny. They learn to how to become Captains of their souls.
In my own work with people, I have come to believe that the biggest issue that people have is that feel they can’t creatively express themselves to the level they want to… would you agree?
Yes, that is why I called my company Inner Expression. What we do not express, we repress and then depression can creep in. It is a vicious cycle. We are here to express all that flows through us as us. It is our divine right.
I notice that you’re a creative producer – what projects have you worked on? Owning the Zone, Somewhere I Belong, Mystical Journeys too many others to list.
With all this going on in your life, what does your working week look like?
Monday-Friday in the evenings I work with clients on-line. Weekends are for clients private sessions in the clinic. On any given day I may be conducting a seminar, webinar. I update my blogs every third day, my website every week, do radio interviews when they are requested. Writing is done at night. Currently putting all my content (information) into a formula that will be products and ready to launch in Sept.
