Quadruple bottom line

Shift happens.• Hyper-connectivity leading to

increased screen time• Accelerating pace of change leading

to overwhelm • Tailored convenience means we want

it all and we want it now

““Heidi we’ve seen more Heidi we’ve seen more change in the last 3 change in the last 3

years than in the last years than in the last 3030.” .”

Change is happening exponentially

But people think linearly

THE NAKED TRUTH

• People are always sharing with me how tired, stressed, overworked they are.

• When we don’t have great energy and our batteries are running on empty we can’t live the fullest life, we just limp through the day.

• We all know about yoga, meditation, exercise, we all have technology, information at our finger tips and yet:why do we do what we do when we know what we know?

It’s not your lack of education that gets you sucked

down into the vicious vortex of overwhelm

SO WHERE DO YOU START?

#startwithU

KNOWING YOURSELF AND YOUR UQ POWER IS THE FIRST STEP TO BECOMING A MASTERFUL COMMUNICATOR WITH A

powerful presence

Are You “Batteries Not Included”

AKA a “Drainer” of energy?

Are you “Batteries Included”?

AKA a “Giver” of Energy?

The most powerful communication tool at your disposal is not your mouth, it’s your entire body.

Become fluent in body language as your second language and watch your results soar.

USE YOUR BODY

YOUR RESULTSWILL MIRROR THE

DEPTH OF PERSONAL AWARENESS YOU

HAVE AND THE LEVEL OF BELIEF

YOU HAVE THAT YOU ARE

Loveable, valuable &

unique.

STOP, NOTICE & LISTENWhat are the barriers to you becoming more aware?

Your own voice inside your head!You have between 50,000-70,000 thoughts per day, ie: 35 - 48 thoughts per minute per person, but

95% are the same as yesterday.

Noisy huh!

STOP, NOTICE & LISTENThen listen to your external voice. In pairs talk for one minute:

1. SPEAKING INCESSANTLY WITHOUT TAKING A BREATH

2. USING YOUR HANDS FRANTICALLY LIKE YOU’RE DIRECTING IN A LANDING PLANE

3. LIKE YOU ARE MEDICATED AND SPEAK WAY WAY TOO SLOWLY

4. LIKE YOU ARE UNCERTAIN AND DISHONEST TOUCHING AND STROKING YOUR CHIN

FIRST IMPRESSIONS COUNT

• Have you ever met someone for the first time and felt an immediate connection or felt uncomfortable with them immediately?

• Researchers from New York University found that we form opinions about one another in the first

7 seconds of meeting.

• That reduces down to about 3 seconds when you look at someone online. Are you giving the impression you want to?

Humans and animals express POWER through open, expansive body language. A chimpanzee asserts his dominance by pushing out his chest. In a boardroom, the executive leans back into their chair and seems to use the space around them.New scientific research has discovered that these ‘power poses’ also produce feelings of power.

BUILDING CONFIDENCE USING YOUR BODY

A recent study at Columbia and Harvard Universities found when 42 participants were asked to either hold a power pose or a contractive, low-power pose for 2 minutes that the power poses stimulated hormones linked to feelings of power. It also the stress hormone cortisol. Plus, high-power posers reported feeling significantly more “powerful” and “in charge” than low-power posers did – allowing them to perform better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmR2A9TnIso

POWER OF POSING

Who has more power?

“When it comes to body language,

there are some who have better vocabularies than

others.” Doug Larson

Powerful Body Language

Assume Neutral Body Stance:• Feet parallel• Knees pushed back, not locked• Invisible string from crown of head• Hands relaxed by your side

Body language activity – actions speak louder than words

1 – Bring your fingers together touching finger tips on both hands – this creates a sense of confidence it also is perceived as confident.

You have to #startwithU by believing in U and your message.If you don’t believe, no one else will because your body will tell them so - every one can spot a phoney!

THE BODY NEVER LIES

- 7% of meaning is in the words that are spoken

-38% of meaning is paralinguistic – the way we say it

-55% of meaning is in body language & expression

WHY YOU MUST BECOME FLUENT IN A SECOND LANGUAGE

• Feet parallel

• Knees pushed back, not locked

• Invisible string from crown of head

• Hands relaxed by your side

• Using Gestures

WORK IT. OWN IT. • You’re are born with it – but you gotta work it.

• Generally when IQ EQ

• Before you make a change your brain must ‘see it’ in a mental picture or vision – this vision helps you harness your IQ and social intelligence or EQ.

• Change then happens when it reaches the body.

Like it’s a waste of your time

Test It In Your Body
