“You can be as rich and successful as you want to be, and be true to yourself.” — Brian Buffini

Like Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, we often get caught in the twister of life. Since life moves so fast, we’re only left with time to react, which leaves us wondering which way is up. Although many of us complain about it, we may secretly like the chaos of the twister. In this episode, recorded at Buffini & Company’s The Peak Experience seminar, Brian Buffini discusses life in the twister and the reasons we may crave it. He also delves into the Oz Dynamic; that is, the image we project into the world and the pressure we may feel to live up to it. You’ll learn why it’s important to break free from the twister, how to identity and project your authentic self and how to tap into the strengths of Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin man and the Lion in your daily life. By the end of the episode, you’ll look at the beloved book and film, The Wizard of Oz, in a different way.
