Episode 11: Playing the Game of Life

Season 1 · Episode 11

Wednesday, May 8, 2019 • Duration 01:22:01

David transitioned from a career in sales after being inspired by a series of events that showed him the power of the mind. His hunger to learn how the mind worked and how changing our thoughts and beliefs could change our lives lead him to become a Master Trainer in Hypnosis and the first Association of NLP Accredited Trainer in the world. He created a successful life coaching business before life coaching was a thing and has taken what he has learned over 30 years and has trained over 55,000 people from over 40 countries through his award-winning, dynamic and innovative online and in-room coaching programs.

Joeel and Natalie are particularly excited to be helping David share his inspirational story with their listeners because David’s training program had a profound effect on their lives. During a period of long-term illness, while Joeel was bedridden, they enrolled in David’s Neuro Linguistic Programming online training, and what they learned about the power of their own minds helped them turn what some would say is a curse into a blessing. Today, the three are collaborating to continue to spread David’s powerful NLP and Coaching strategies through a Certification program through Transformation Academy.

David’s powerful storytelling and sense of humor make his story truly inspirational and fun, and his authenticity, passion for contribution and willingness to embrace uncertainty, and make him a world-class teacher to us all.

Wednesday, April 3, 2019 • Duration 01:01:03

A love of learning and a fascination with how the human mind, body and spirit work lead Flavio to receive degrees in both philosophy and biomedical engineering. While studying degenerative diseases and teaching at the university in his career, Flavio simultaneously went on a profound spiritual quest into his own mind and beyond. When he was introduced to hypnotherapy for the first, he experienced personal transformation, and as he continued to study the field he became intrigued by the impact hypnosis had on the physical body. He began practicing hypnotherapy in 1996, where he offered a unique and pioneering approach, bringing together his scientific understanding of the human body and his training and experience with deep inner workings of the subconscious and unconscious mind. He opened the Hypnotherapy and Counseling Center in Miami, Florida.

Flavio helps people connect their "outer" with their "inner" selves, so they can achieve their purpose and materialize their dreams.

Episode 8: Be a Mompreneur and Go for Your Dreams

Season 1 · Episode 8

Wednesday, February 6, 2019 • Duration 59:28

Noor challenges her clients by asking “How can you look your children in their eyes and tell them to go for their dreams if you don’t go for yours?” But the truth is she went on her own journey to get to the place where she is now: running her dream business AND being a stay-at-home mom.

As a young adult, Noor fell into the trap many of us have experienced—people squashed her dreams of (in her case of becoming an actress) by telling her it wasn’t possible—and she listened. But she knew she couldn’t join the corporate rat race—and so she went into the resort business as a holiday rep, which allowed her to travel the world. After 6 years of adventuring her biggest dream came true—she became a mum! She moved back to the UK and ended up in a job she hated. During maternity leave she tried to start several businesses and failed. She also found life coaching and felt like she finally found what she had been looking for! But she put it off because she didn’t feel worthy. She had to go back to the job she hated, but she was determined to be with her daughter. So, on her second maternity leave for baby #2 she quit her job and went all-in, creating a thriving Amazon product business! But deep down she knew this wasn’t her calling, and she finally gave herself permission to become a life coach and empower other women to go for their dreams!

Today Noor is a mother of 3. Her energy and enthusiasm for life is infectious and her all-in, no-limits, no-BS attitude is what makes her such a wonderful role model for life coaches, entrepreneurs, and parents because she challenges us to believe that you really CAN have it all!
