SLOWING DOWN TO THE SPEED OF LIFE:
The Secrets to Work/Life Balance

In our fast paced, often frenetic modern world, few people have discovered how to find balance in their work and personal lives. Yet, without balance, we quickly lose job satisfaction, productivity, physical health, presence in our intimate relationships and overall quality of life. In Joe’s talk on work/life balance he shows us:

1.      How to slow down our thinking in order to access a state of mind where clear thinking, big picture perspective, and good decisions reside, along with the ability to relate to others in a way that they feel listened to, respected, and appreciated.
2.      How to navigate the ups and downs of life, our moods, and other people’s often negative behavior.
3.      How to listen to our own inner compass of feelings and intuition that guide us to balance on all dimensions of life and work.
4.      How to increase efficiency, cooperation, teamwork, and creative problem solving, and turn crisis into opportunities by remaining in the moment—the speed of life.
5.      How to live from a free-flow of wise, creative thought that allows us to break out of the limitations of our habitual thinking and behaviors so that we respond appropriately to the challenges we face in our changing world, work places, and family life.
6.      How to learn to live in the “zone” where life is effortless, fun, deeply satisfying, and successful.

FEARPROOF YOUR LIFE!

Transforming Our World and Ourselves: From Fear to Hope, From Entrenched Ideas to Positive and Creative Action.

In the past number of years we have become a culture of fear driven by the “Fear Industrial Complex” of advertising, politics, the news media and other institutions.
How do we approach the future with hope and optimism when so many real crises face us: world economic meltdown; climate change and increased natural disasters; the erosion of our institutions from government, businesses, healthcare, religions and education?
The huge question we face now is how do we immunize ourselves against these often overwhelming forces to find peace of mind, hope for our future, courage and the creativity and ingenuity to face the enormous challenges we find ourselves in as leaders, citizens, parents and communities?
In this talk, Joe Bailey will outline the principles he elucidates in his latest book, “Fearproof Your Life: How to Thrive in a World Addicted to Fear”. He will show participants:

1.   How to live from and be anchored in their true Selves so that they can trust in their instincts, wisdom and common sense.
2.   How to take the path of calm-knowing that comes from knowing one’s Self and trusting in one’s intuitive intelligence.
3.   How to discover the true purpose of fear and the harmful use of fear as a weapon against ourselves and others.
4.   How to discern the difference between fear as a tool and fear as a harmful weapon; and how to choose to live from a state of fearlessness and courage.
5.   How the harmful effects of fear such as physical imbalance, prejudice, rigid thinking, harmful reactions based on habits, poor decision making, makes us unsafe and accident prone, interferes with learning, communication, performance and relationships.
