I've always suspected that those "breakthrough" moments that come at the end of workshops with the big-time Life Coaches ans trainers- like Tony Robbins and Michael Heppell must be a bit of a con.
Walking across hot coals?
Must be something to do with heat transference speed..
Karate chopping blocks of wood?
The wood must be really thin..Or pre-weakened..Surely?
Yeah, well, now I know differently.
I've just spent the last two days with the lovely Michael Heppell and the big finale of his How to Be Brilliant! workshop is having to create a Power Move (and noise), then chant "yes, Yes, YES", then have a go at striking your way through an unfeasibly thick plank of wood.
On which you write the name of the obstacle you want to break through.
I chose "Fear".
Did I do it?
What do you think?
The whole of Mayfair reverberated to my Power Move and Yes, YEs, YESs.
I struck that wood with the force of a Ninja (turtle or hero?).
And..
just about made it through to the other side.
No, it snapped like a match and Michael had to duck to avoid the energy heading for his head.
But, just between you and I, it did hurt (inside I Ouched).
But the adrenaline and feeling of success pushed all that aside.
Just look at me...


That's not red-eye you can see. It's fire coming out of my eye sockets.
Here's a close up of my target...


I have to say, putting aside all English reserve and cool.
It was BLOODY FANTASTIC.
I will keep that wood by my desk and whenever I feel doubt (fear? no way) I will take myself back to that moment and roar..
Or make a nice cup of tea and drift off to my White Island (not a holiday camp for people like Carol Thatcher), no a beautiful place where I cleanse my energy and Power Up..
I'm about to go to the gym to see Matt (he who must be obeyed), so I can't chat on...
But suffice it to say, after yesterday's Day 2 with Michael- How to be Brilliant in Business, I'm all set.
In the next 90 days I will be establishing my own company and using my skills to....(got to write my Mission Statement...so watch this space).
If you want a blow by blow account of the next 90 days, to see how I get on...
Check me out on..
Sorry, "Follow Me" on..
Michael taught me how to do it properly and now I am all of a Twitter..
I Twitter therefore I am? (Sad?)
Follow me and see!
