Summary

In one of the most inspiring and poetic conversations of 2015 Phillip Mckernan talks about the pillars of a meaningful life. 


HIGHLIGHTS: 

  • How a culture can enrich you at your core
  • Taking the time to figure who we are and how we want to express it in the world
  • Why we get so far into our lives without clarity about what we want
  • 3 Basic pillars of a meaningful life
  • What causes people to end up living out of alignment 
  • Understanding the difference between confidence and self esteem
  • Getting to know and embrace your fear so it doesn’t control you
  • How to get a place that you can’t imagine as possible
  • Removing masks and letting skeletons out of our closet
  • Taking a risk to bring more meaning into our life 
  • The power of trusting your intuition 


Philip speaks around the world about the importance of overcoming personal obstacles, gaining clarity, and cultivating the confidence to believe in yourself. He has shared stages with some well known speakers…Steven Covey, Richard Branson, the Dalai Lama to name a few, and the feedback is generally overwhelmingly positive. Through live personal leadership experiences, he has worked with all sorts of people from housewives to Olympic athletes, TV personalities and entrepreneurs, people who’ve gone bankrupt to billionaires and everything in between, and he’s uncovered that people’s dysfunctional relationship to money and their inability to get in touch with their own deep intuition inhibits their ability to gain the authentic clarity they need to live an authentic, and meaningful life.

So I've shared stages with, let's use the analogy of say Richard Branson, I've shared stage with him numbers of times.

0:07.0

Now, great guy, he's achieved extraordinary things, he's done wonderful things for humanity, he gives back a tremendous amount and it's nothing to

0:14.2

with Richard. I could replace Richard's name with somebody else. Is that sometimes people

0:18.2

said the audience, yeah but yeah but he's I mean he's Richard Branson.

0:22.7

I mean he's got an island and he's got like 50 companies

0:25.8

or 80 companies or 85,000 staff or whatever his stats are.

0:29.8

And at some level, they kind of use that as a way to discount and maybe not to take

0:35.1

control of their own destinies and and therefore I decided that there's great

0:39.4

value in those conferences but this is a conference or not a concept.

0:44.4

But the most important thing was to illustrate that every man and woman has an extraordinary story

0:50.3

and therefore an extraordinary ability to move other people around them.

0:53.6

And it was illustrated and proved by this concept, which most people said to me, by the way,

0:57.4

that'll never work. People won't come and those speakers will let you down because

1:00.8

they're not prepared. And it was the absolute opposite of that.

1:11.0

who puts themselves down is, oh I'm not a speaker I'm not

1:14.0

I'm not who might influence anybody like I'm a carpenter a taxi driver I own a

1:18.0

business but I'm not I can't impact people how wrong you are and how that story has not been serving you.

1:25.0

It doesn't mean you have to become a speaker,

1:27.0

but you can impact somebody right next to you

1:31.0

that can go on and do other things.
