What Happens When You UNleash Your Story?

What Happens When You UNleash Your Story?

I’ve had this theory for a long time that learning how to express yourself, especially through story, UNlocks something inside of us that spills over into other areas of our lives.

It’s something I’ve tested in multiple ways for many years and with thousands of people, especially young people.

Let me take you on a journey of evolution so you understand the origin of this work.

I put my theory into a book, Being UNapologetic, which then became my brand.

While many people love the idea of living their life UNapologetically, there is one thing that is consistently in the way. It’s what I’ve come to call (and subsequently trademarked) Comparanoia®.

I shared my lifelong work to understand and overcome this phenomenon in my TED Talk, Overcoming Comparanoia®. In that talk, I share what I believe is at the root of the issue and a very simple antidote.

It all started with story

What TikTok Teaches Us About Generation Z

What TikTok Teaches Us About Generation Z

Whether we like it, accept it, or care, TikTok, the media app that can be used for creating and sharing short videos has captured the attention of a generation and, in doing so, has given us the opportunity to learn what’s working and how we can adapt to better engage kids and young people.

Personally, it took me a long time to figure out what to do with this platform. Finally, I chose to be myself on it. You can follow my experimenting (from dancing, duetting, and silliness) on my TikTok account. In doing so, I learned a few things about why the app is so popular and what we, as parents and teachers, can learn to better connect with Gen Zers.

STOP! This Technique Will Transform Your Life

Feeling stuck? UNmovitvated? UNable to move forward or to get stuff done?

In 2017, I had the great fortune of spending 2 days with Joseph McClendon III.

In many ways, you could say he is the science and psychology behind Tony Robbins. In fact, as a neuropsychologist he has a lot to teach us all. One of the most powerful techniques he shares is the his STOP technique.

How to be Yourself in a World That Wants You to be Somebody Else

History is made by those who refuse to follow the status quo. 

Rosa Parks refused to sit in the back of a bus, single handedly halting the tide of segregation. Mahatma Gandhi won Indian independence from Britain through nonviolent protest. 24-year-old Mordechai Anielewicz led the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, holding back the inevitable Nazi deportation of the Jews of Warsaw for nearly a month.

How to Raise Bully-Proof Children

How to Raise Bully-Proof Children

Back to school. An exciting time punctuated by new teachers and classes, fresh books and school supplies, resuming friendships and extra-curricular activities. For the child who has experienced bullying, however, it can be the worst time of the year.

It sure was for me…

There are many reasons for this. For one, when you compare yourself to others, you’re comparing the worst of you to the best of them. Others, whether it be face-to-face or on social media, tend to display the highlight reels of their lives, and whose messy real-life can compare to someone’s edited curation? Growing up, when we’d drive through a wealthy neighborhood admiring the beautiful homes, my mom would tell me, you never know what’s going on inside. Everyone has their struggles.…

Comparing yourself to others, whether you come out ahead or behind, robs you of many things, the most notable of which is joy.

How to Build Your Confidence in Five Minutes a Day

Some of us seem to be born confident. Others have spent a lifetime working at it. The truth is, there are times each of us has felt rattled, underprepared or awkward. Though that feeling of not fitting in may be the very catalyst that has made us into who we are, it would be nice to be able to summon up confidence at will, whether to walk into a room and own it or to get on stage and speak in front of hundreds.

The good news is that you can develop confidence…

Former music teacher now on a mission to empower everyday extraordinary individuals, especially young people, to compare less and celebrate more.

According to Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Foundation, most young people today recognize the importance of their mental health but believe they lack access to resources needed to support them. Citing a survey by Benenson Strategy Group of over 2000 U.S. youth ages 13 to 24, researchers found that only 4 out of 10 young people rate their own mental health highly. Over 50% feel they do not have access to resources to deal with bullying and harassment, and nearly half said they would not know where to turn if they felt suicidal or had thoughts of self-harming.

Fool Or Foe: Owning Failure to Create Success

In the summer of 2009, I moved to the Arctic, by choice. I was on a mission for a fresh start. What I discovered was a shocking truth that would forever change the way I approached life and business.

Arriving in a new environment can be exhilarating - just like starting a new project or even a new relationship. For us entrepreneurs, the risk and challenge involved with starting over is addictive. I was up for the challenge, and my first days were filled with long, sunny days and an UNstoppable spirit.

A new year inspires us to think big!

As entrepreneurs, especially, we set audacious goals and declare new visions for business, life, and beyond!

It’s been my life’s work to think bigger. From composer to educator, coach, and founder, I’ve observed that thinking bigger creates more connection, community, and collaboration, and, quite simply, more results! People who deliver vision (big ideas worth spreading) have shown over and over, throughout history, that they can lead movements and move people into inspired action!

The Love Dare: Leveraging Love For Success In Business And Life

What’s LOVE got to do with it? Entrepreneurship, that is..

While I’ve been an entrepreneur and thought leader my entire life, my immigration to America in 2015 forced me to start over. I had to become a student in every way to start a new life and a new iteration of my business.

Let’s play the age-old game of ‘Truth or Dare’ to illustrate the discovery that has radically transformed my approach to (and success in) entrepreneurship and life, and the two questions that changed everything!

The Real Reason You Aren't Booking More Speaking Gigs (And The Simple Solution)

It’s the question that keeps getting asked…

It’s the holy grail for Speakers (present and future) — getting more speaking gigs.

Here’s the big, bold statement that I am unequivocally UNAPOLOGETIC about:

in most cases getting MORE speaking gigs is NOT where you should be focusing your attention… doing so is actually HURTING your speaking career and your bottom line - forever.
