Creativity through the lens of Business Coach, CEO Next Level University, Podcaster"Creativity means: finding out what you're obsessed with and doing it."At age 2, my father passed away in a car accident. At age 26, after getting into a nearly fatal car accident myself, I questioned everything I was doing in life. I questioned who I was and the choices I was making. I was at an all-time low. Filled with regret, I searched for answers and found two of the brightest lights I had ever seen. The first bright light was a book by Bronnie Ware entitled, “The Top 5 Regrets of the Dying,” and the second was a Ted Talk by Tony Robbins. Both of these resources helped me find my way and guided me to make the choice of going ALL IN on self-improvement to design a life of meaning and purpose. On this self-improvement journey, I have learned I believe in a heart-driven but NO BS approach to inspiring, motivating, and educating others on what it REALLY takes to get to the Next Level. Today, I am proud to say it is my mission to help others design fulfilling lives, maximize their own unique potential, and build aligned businesses they love on their own terms. I have a powerful combination of technical expertise and business acumen specializing in Peak Performance, Productivity, Organizational Design, and Individual, Team, and Business Optimization. I lead a global team at NLU, have given hundreds of trainings all over the world, and have happily completed thousands of one-on-one coaching calls with clients. It would be my honor to help you get to the Next Level of your life, love, health, and wealth.www.facebook.com/alan.lazaroswww.instagram.com/alazaros88https://www.linkedin.com/in/alanlazarosllcSend us a text

Creativity through the lens of a public speaker, author, licensed psychotherapist and podcaster"Creativity - making connections, connecting the dots is very empowering.....Being a listener of life."BRONWYN SCHWEIGERDT may be the most evocative psychotherapist you’ve ever heard. Instead of fixing peoples’ messes, her goal is to elicit feelings you’re most ashamed to have, such as hatred and betrayal. She knows that even though feelings are invisible, they don’t evaporate, but store away in our bodies when they’re disowned.According to Bronwyn, these feelings haunt us and cause mental illness until we externalize them into words with someone who can hear and validate them. She especially loves playing midwife in this way, helping her clients – and now, her podcast listeners – externalize painful feelings once and for all. She has experienced success in helping people break free of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, even psychosis, once and for all, by reconnecting them to their anger, and healing their relationship with anger, and with themselves. Bronwyn has a masters degree in counseling, and another in nutrition. She is a public speaker, author, and licensed psychotherapist.https://angryattherightthings.podbean.com/Send us a text

Creativity through the lens of the best selling author of the Role of Love and a Love Language Linguist"Creativity; you're just trying to solve a problem." Paul Zolman is the international bestselling author of the Role of Love, but the true author of love is God. In His wisdom, He placed us in a variety of circumstances that require us to find our way back to His pure love. So, what qualifies me to speak about love? My childhood experience of the opposite of love. From that austere beginning, and the distaste it formed inside me, I searched for and eventually created a method that transformed my life from anger to loving everyone. Growing up in a family of abuse, physical touch became my preferred love style, only because of the regularity. I could almost count on it. It was consistent. I came to think that was the way to express love. But deep inside, I knew that was a twisted belief. I wanted a better life for myself, which is why I created a paradigm shift that works. In this book, you’ll find what helped me move from a childhood boot camp of abuse to being a person who loves everyone and can find good about anyone in any circumstance. This is truly the role of love. I hope you join me.Website: https://roleoflove.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/roleoflovediceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/roleoflovedice/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@roleoflovediceYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1kniwkoHIW9EA5Ojv7NuLAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/roleoflovedice/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/roleoflovedice/Twitter: https://twitter.com/roleoflovediceSend us a text
