Man’s Search For Meaning - with Jonathan MacDonald

This week I’m on a mission with Jonathan MacDonald, an award-winning, bestselling author and one of the most in-demand keynote speakers in the world on the topics of change, digital transformation, mindset, innovation, strategy and the future. In what turned out to be one of my favourite episodes we talk about Jonathan’s incredible success as a speaker, and the ways in which he engages with his audiences around the world, how productive paranoia can help us to overcome the challenges of tomorrow, and how the power of mind over body can create meaningful impact. A phenomenal episode. KEY TAKEAWAYS The art of presenting and public speaking remotely is one that many are embracing. it requires a whole new skill-set, but there are some advantages to appearing live on stage. We should never be dismissive of those who are trying to help us. We must encourage those who wish to make positive change in the world. It is essential that we look to the future often, and try to ascertain the advancements of tomorrow, so as to best plan for the ever-changing world. Our bodies can not tell the difference between something that has actually happened to us and something we believe has happened to us. Therefore, if we believe we are ill, our bodies will react accordingly, and if we use thought for healing, our bodies will experience this. BEST MOMENTS 'I'm a fan of looking at what could disrupt you before it disrupts you' 'Productive paranoia is thinking "What could be the disruptive force for what I do?' 'When the winds of change are blowing some build a wall and others build a windmill' 'Our body organises itself around our thoughts' VALUABLE RESOURCES On A Mission - https://omny.fm/shows/on-a-mission   Jonathan MacDonald - https://jonathanmacdonald.com  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/EllieMckay
