The Purpose of this Present Moment

Dan concludes this keynote by revealing the life-changing power of attention (mindfulness) in the present moment.

The Bigger Picture of Success

As we strive for health, love, financial success and career enhancement, it’s easy to lose sight of life’s bigger picture — what we’re doing here on Planet Earth above and beyond our work – or rather, larger lessons we can learn through our work, relationships, health and finances. Dan will share “12 Courses in the School of Life” that each of us study on our way to an inspired life. These life-enhancing courses include areas of self-worth, self-discipline, energizing the body, managing money, taming the mind, accepting emotions, and more—all leading to true success, fulfillment, and to a natural, easeful way of living.

Universal Laws for the Business of Living

The universe works according to laws as real and concrete as the law of gravity. In this keynote, Dan shows how to harness the laws of balance, choices presence, action, and non-resistance to master ourselves and improve every facet of our lives at work and at home.
