Its been a busy couple of weeks with multiple presentations to the Ministry of Health, Rodney Wayne Hairdressing in Queenstown and today I flew to Taupo to train some Real Estate agents courtesy of the Property Press. Lucky I bought shares in a plane based on Waiheke Island as there was no way I could have made all these speaking engagements without my own wings. It was a fantastic day to fly today from Waiheke to Taupo and back. Some days you do wonder why you maintain such a hectic pace and am working at the hospital Emergency Department tommorow night. The emails of thanks and audience responses help you keep at it. To take my own medicine I have the weekend off and very much looking forward to watching for the first time my son playing cricket. It is his second game ever so will be fun. Having the right attitude and being mindful of being in the moment is one of the only ways to cope with such a hectic schedule. What sthe point of being on the ride of life when you are worrying so much about what is coming up or what has gone before. As I say the only thing that is real is what is happening right now. Whatever has happened in the past, is only in your memory, whatever will happen in the future is only in your imagination.

Besides the emails we get on returning from speaking trips saying how the seminars have been a life changing experience (for the better) for many people, we get to meet many eclectic, colourful and inspirational characters in their own right.

One is definitely Rodney Wayne, founder of the country’s most successful Hair Salon networks. His leadership and passion for the business stick out like Vidal Sassoon has done over many years. His staff are one of the most glamorous crew I have spoken to on the planet and the buzz of team and the pride they have in their leader and their brand is something to behold. I can see why my wife gets her haircut there!! I would too if I had some. It seem a bit ironic a bald man speaking at a hairdressing conference but the message about Healthy Thinking crosses all hair types. It was a fabulous evening and as much as motivating the audience I came away being motivated by their sense of a team and passion for their industry and brand. If you look at the photo you may say I was motivated by the glass of fine Central Otago Pinot Noir in my hand but I can assure you it was my first and last glass of the evening!

How passionate are you about your leader and your brand??
