I am honored that David Rock, CEO of Results Coaching System, has invited me to lead off two mornings of his first-ever Northern Hemisphere Neuroleadership Summit.* World-renowned scientists, including
- Dr. Jeffrey Schwartz (co-author of the book quoted on the right and numerous other books)
- Henry Stapp, Quantum Physicist, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
- Dr. Amy Arnsten, Lead Neurobiology Researcher, Yale Medical School
- Dr. Yiyuan Tang, Institute of Neuroinformatix, Dalian University, Liaoning, China
will gather with other researchers,
executives, coaches, and leaders from various professions at the Millenium
Hotel in New York City from Tuesday, October 28 through
Thursday, October 30.*
David Rock, the coach/author who coined the term neuroleadership, is noted for his pioneering work in "brain-based coaching." David says, "I invited Millie to present at the Neurosummit because she teaches important leadership skills, bridging both science and application."
I am very excited by this opportunity to bring the simple OASIS brain-changing strategies to this illustrious group - and to deepen my own knowledge by learning from and with them.
We are in a time of tangible rapid change: leaves turning crimson before they dive off the trees in my front yard, global and personal economies writhing, election debates boiling, wars raging. And each of us wakes up each morning to a new day, new possibilities, fresh choices. What a time to be alive!
I thought that the three quotes - from such diverse folks as Jeffrey Schwartz, the Dalai Lama, and Lance Armstrong - might kick us into a greater determination to live right now fully, bringing out the best in our bodies and our brains.
Warm regards,

"The power of willful activity to shape the brain remains the working principle not only of early brain development, but also of brain function as an ongoing living process."
Jeffrey Schwartz &
Sharon Begley, The Mind and the Brain: Neuroplasticity and the Power
of Mental Force (New York: Regan Books, 2002. p. 130; quoted in
my OASIS in the Overwhelm: 60-second Strategies for Balance in a
Busy World, Beaver Hill Press.
"Happiness is not a fixed characteristic, a biological set point that will never change. Instead, the brain is plastic, and our quota of happiness can be enhanced through mental training."
Tenzin Gyatso, the
fourteenth Dalai Lama, & Harold Cutler, The Art of Happiness: A
Handbook for Living (New York: Penguin Putnam, 1998); quoted in
my OASIS in the Overwhelm, p. 130.
"Time
is limited, so I better wake up every morning fresh and know that I have
just one chance to live this particular day right, and to string my days
together into a life of action and purpose."
