"I'm on a MISSION to transform lives..."
This is the part where I get to share a bit more about who I am and why I do what I do.
So really, I’m a life learner and believe that one should continue to learn, grow and integrate into the world around them. I believe that happiness is defined by the individual and what they choose to be true. I also believe that humanity is at its best, not when it is in pursuit of the satisfaction of desires, but when we are chasing meaning and purpose.
I have been married since 2006 a few months before my 23rd birthday and have a son that was born in 2010. I love my family. My son motivates me to be my best each day, and my wife supports and empowers me more than I can ever put into words.
I've been training individuals and organizations since I was 23. One of my earliest jobs was as a contract trainer for computer skills. I would be hired by different businesses through a career skills training company to teach staff on how to use Excel, Powerpoint and Word. I then moved into delivering workshops on Tips and Tricks for your Blackberry device (remember those?).
I also worked for 3 years teaching kids how to code their own video games. This was all before my life in technology sales.
And even during that life in professional sales, I became a junkie for personal development workshops and courses. I joined Toastmasters International and won many awards including First Place in the 2005 Speech Competition (Meadowvale, ON) I began investing in workshops in sales and leadership, always learning.
Then in 2009 I was introduced to NLP which is really about the study of human experience. Through a 200 hour training and certification I became proficient at modelling the patterns that bring people success. I quit my corporate job and started my own technology sales business which has been performing quite profitably year over year.
I then followed up with a more intensive NLP training program, 20 full days this time, and by now I knew I wanted to share this skill set with others.
In 2013, I trained in Hypnosis and began to really deconstruct the unconscious beliefs and behaviours that creates a person's experience. I launched Coach the Mind on my birthday later that year. I began working with individuals one on one and helping them make rapid changes to their behaviours by using the methods I learned from NLP and Hypnosis.
In 2016, I launched my first public workshop teaching individuals NLP skills (See Crash Course to NLP).
Later in 2016, I became a Certified Trainer with HeartMath Institute. Having now found the missing piece of the puzzle, I understood the role that the heart plays in optimal functioning and performance.
Their full day workshop, which I have now given dozens of times, The Resilience Advantage™ is not only an education of the impact of emotions on our physiology, but it is a skillset that when practiced allows us to increase and sustain resilience, enhance performance and productivity, and influence others towards coherence by leveraging the energetics of our heart.
And I haven't even mentioned the several workshops and trainings I continue to take each year so that I'm always learning, growing and integrating.
I share all this, so that you can understand that you have choice. You can choose to work with someone that may inspire and motivate, perhaps even plant new ideas or you can choose someone that does all of above and actually teaches methodologies and techniques which brings you results.
