And you can actually HARNESS those powers, for transformation AND joy! Learn how to do that and hear about some of my super powers in my talk from the last HEALTH X Summit... Note to self: I need to learn how not to fiddle with the microphone so much! Yet, I'm proud of myself for getting up on the stage, even if it wasn't a perfect presentation. Anyone here interested in doing more speaking?? Besides our obvious, amazing speaking coach @Ben Sherry ?? And maybe @Javaria Sajjad ?? I'd like to start an in person support group in the next few months for upleveling our speaking skills and applying to speaking events. If folks here are interested, we can make it in person/virtual...that would be fun!

It was about 40 minutes into the Summit… The blazing heat outside was starting to make its way inside the room. As I looked around, two people had their heads down, slumber sweetly descending upon them, the heat and rhythmic nature of the speeches lulling them to sleep. Vincenzo and I had gotten an overview of all the technology and how to use the Mic and set up Zoom, but not the overview of how to turn on the swamp cooler. Then, Josh Haag took the stage. He minced no words. He immediately had everyone stand up and say loudly, “I am open!” And then, “ I am worthy!” He wasn’t letting anyone sleep through transformational content, not on his watch. He even threatened to make us do jumping jacks if we didn’t respond enthusiastically enough! Spoken like a true motivational movement coach. It immediately changed the state of the room. Such a powerful moment. My partner, @Steve Smith, jumped into action, inspired by the energy shift. He sorted out how to turn on the swamp cooler. It wasn’t obvious. But he’s a tech whisperer. He figured it out. Between Josh’s creation of the palpable energy shift and the coolness coming on thanks to the now functional swamp cooler, everyone shifted into a higher gear. We somehow felt more open, more worthy, more ready to receive and participate. You can see snapshots below of the talks of… @Joshua Haag , @Tara Seren, @Abigail Seaver , @Gwendolynn Diaz , @Dayana Melian , @Vincenzo Fanfarillo , Matt Burge I’ll share some pictures in the comments as well.

You can submit anytime before next Friday, May 1st! Remember to check out @Ben Sherry ’s community, the Oracy Club if you want some support with crafting your Story! We all have a story of transformation or two, from our past, present, or future. This contest is your chance to share your story, learn from the stories of others, and maybe win a month of Thrive Community VIP, which includes a one-on-one Thrive Deep Dive Session. If you're a business or Skool Group owner, you can absolutely use this story in your business. This could be your signature talk, or it could be a separate story. You can enter up to three stories! How to Participate- 1.) Pick a story of transformation you want to share. It doesn’t have to be health or wellness related, it can be in any area of life. Reflecting on transformations we have gone through in one area can actually help us create transformation in other areas. It can be a story from your past, something you're going through right now, OR a story written by your future self about a transformation you have yet to go through. The latest option can be very fun and a powerful way to connect with future you, and yet all of these options can be fun and insightful for you. If you'd like to share a client's story of transformation, you can do that too, as long as you've entered a personal story too. 2.) Use the Stories of Transformation tab to share your story as a NEW POST. It can be shared in writing, or it can be recorded as a video, on YouTube or Loom. It can be as long as it needs to be, it's entirely up to you. 3.) Vote by liking and commenting on stories that have been posted. Top 3 Stories of Transformation creators will get a month of VIP!! If winners are already on VIP, they'll get an extra one-on-one Thrive Deep Dive Coaching call. 4.). Post your Story of Transformation wherever you'd like...this is your creative material, you can use it to connect with others, promote your community, or in any which way you'd like.

after @Ben Sherry 's awesome talk this morning, and all the wonderful participation from Thrive and Oracy Club community members! So much inspiration is flowing through me that I just recorded 3 YouTube videos after weeks of taking a pause. Here is one of the videos. It's not a Signature Talk, nor is it a Story of Transformation. It's a song. I call it the Battle of the Binge. And it's not perfect. I even clear my voice in the beginning of it. This is my invitation to YOU, to start where you are. Let go of perfection and just share your truth, your heart, your light, your speech, your song. Whatever it is you're ready to share, share it. The world needs the special medicine that only YOU can bring. https://youtu.be/WSaOizNW3Rg

Thursday, 8 am MT/ 10 am Eastern https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82654041042?pwd=b9PHMcwfyAVIxLzBJHat13bcTqMq1C.1 Super excited to have @Ben Sherry as a guest in the Thrive Community, to kick off our Stories of Transformation Contest! Every founder has a story worth telling - most just haven't found its shape. In this workshop, we'll map out your Signature Talk that shows who you are, what you know, and why it matters. Ben Sherry is the founder of Oracy Club, a global community for founders who are looking to get visible, build trust, and win more clients through live events. After a decade of teaching, teacher training and communication coaching, he now helps coaches and consultants build signature talks, workshops, and masterclasses - the kind that build authority and fill a calendar with warm leads.
