You Won’t Have Heard
This One Before
I draw on the experiences of my cardiac arrest and recovery and can talk about How Being Dead Changed My Perspective On Life.
I can also talk about the patient’s perspective, which is often of interest to those in the medical profession, whether in appliance manufacturing or care provision.
Within my talks, I discuss how my focus and attitudes have shifted, around celebrating the small wins, putting challenges into perspective, and recognising how our relationship with fear can often dictate what we believe our options are. That’s quite a hold.
I’ve also been known to talk about confidence, imposter syndrome, attitude to risk, and reflecting on the short amount of time we have on the planet, whilst pondering, “what’s the worst that can happen?”
I round on the core message that none of us need to die, or experience any kind of life threatening event, either personally or through someone close, to reflect on our own ability to take more ownership in directing and designing our own lives. By turning down the impact fear has in our own decision-making, the Universe has an uncanny way of creating opportunities, which if taken, can lead to yet more opportunities and even greater fulfilment.
I know, because it’s why I’m where I am today.
I can offer a range of talks from TED length to 50 minutes, with unlimited time for an ask anything you want Q&A. And by anything, I mean anything. I’ve had everything from ‘what’s it like being dead’ to ‘how do you know you’re not still dead’. (And I’m more than happy to share my personal thoughts on the administration processes of the Afterlife.) Nothing is too obscure – the worst has already happened, which funnily enough, is a theme that runs through my talks.
I’m comfortable talking to leadership groups, at company meetings, conferences, seminars, as part of panels or at dinners and awards events.
