WHAT IF YOU COULD BORROW THEIR DEEPEST,

BEST-KEPT SECRETS AND PUT THEM TO USE

TO CONQUER YOUR STRESS?

Some amazing facts https://www.factretriever.com/body-facts

• Messages from your brain travel along nerves at up to 200 miles an hour (322 km/h).

• 25% of your bones are in your feet; and your ears and nose never stop growing!

• If your DNA was uncoiled, it would stretch 10 billion miles, from Earth to Pluto and back.

• You have a triune brain consisting of a reptilian complex (Lizard brain or L1), a paleomammalian or limbic complex (Limbic or L2); and the familiar logic-based neocortex, the neomammalean complex or cognitive-rational center (Logic or L3).

• Your bones are five times stronger than a steel bar of the same width, but they are brittle and can fracture on impact.

• There are ten times more bacteria cells in your body than human cells.

• Your brain contains 86 billion nerve cells joined by 100 trillion connections. This is more than the number of stars in the Milky Way.

• Your blood circulates about 12,000 miles (19,000 km) a day. This is like traveling from east to west across the widest part of the Pacific Ocean.

• The rate at which humanity is generating information is something never before seen in human history with 2.5 quintillion bytes of data created each day at our current pace . 1

• People are naturally curious—Google now processes more than 40,000 searches EVERY second (3.5 billion searches per day). Curious, but wise?

• Every major school of psychology recognized that people have subpersonalities (though usually they have different names). 2

EVEN WITH THE INFORMATION EXPLOSION & ACCESS TO IT…

OVERALL HAPPINESS IN THE USA IS DECREASING

WHILE STRESS IS INCREASING

The implicit promise of “InfoTopia” by technology that all of this information would make the world a better place and improve people’s lives making things easier… has not materialized . 3

WE ARE DROWNING IN INFORMATION… BOMBARDED BY IT EVERY SECOND OF THE DAY. But information and wisdom are not equal. Throughout history, people have overlooked a long-known reality: the longest difference its that from the head to the heart. Words do not equal deeds.

Knowing a thing in words and owning that “thing” (and therefore being invested in actions and outcomes) are two radically different things.

Lao Tzu endeavored to move people along the path to wisdom when he said, “The first step is the ability to say, ‘I don’t know.’” Even when we can give a perfect rational verbal response to a question, answering “I don’t know” may be far more truthful from the perspective of our experience with the issue. Taking information and knowledge and turning it into demonstrable action that elicits desirable change in our lives and in those around us is wisdom.

The neocortical foible that confuses information and knowledge with insightful action ignores the import of the other two parts of our brain i.e. our lizard and limbic systems resulting in a self-deception of a sort. While this is not new it remains an essential distinction for those wanting to master stress and their overall performance.

“The process may seem strange and yet it is very true. I did not so much gain the

knowledge of things by the words, as words by the experience I had of things.” ― Plutarch

EVEN WITH THE INFORMATION EXPLOSION & ACCESS TO IT…

OVERALL HAPPINESS IN THE USA IS DECREASING

WHILE STRESS IS INCREASING

World-wide, cases of depression have ballooned almost 20% in a decade, making it the leading cause of disability. Depression and anxiety are also a concern for the tech community whose 4

work is increasingly at the heart of business and organizational success. The pressure is on, but support for dealing with it is largely ad hoc.

“As people who consistently use our brains to create things and solve problems, it’s

imperative for us to keep our mental muscles in shape….”

Being fit—physically, emotional, and mentally—is hugely important for a community whose identity aligns with their brain power. Admitting anything less than optimal performance is perceived as a threat to their reputation. So it is not surprising that there are taboos around emotional challenges and shadow addictions.

Slowly this is changing. During BlackHat 2018 topics of addiction, stress, burnout, depression and suicide were discussed alongside hacking techniques and security innovations. But for the person in stress’ embrace, the urgency remains. The tech desperate enough to reach out for help in handling stress is often already in a battle for their lives.

The good news is that these smart, successful people, when provided with the best tools and methods for putting all ‘three of their brains’ to work for them, quickly get their lives back. And better still, they add a few badass powers to their backpack.

How do they do this?

The secret lies within our triune brain and how all three parts are optimized to work together. There are some simple techniques for getting ALL three parts of you onto the same team: Team Balance. And the added benefit? You get an edge because you begin to see somethings previously invisible to you, and you start to better understand what is going on in the world around you. This edge takes you to the next level, if that’s where you want to go.

“I KNOW THE LOGIC OF IT, BUT MY BRAIN WON’T LET ME ACT ON IT.”

LOOKING FOR MORE INFORMATION ON STRESS

• Information is necessary but not sufficient to gain mastery over stressors and challenging life situations to get the results you want and deserve.

• What’s being said online about stress is just that… about stress. Information alone does nothing to solve it and getting more information without taking action puts you at risk of deceiving yourself about how much you really understand stress.

• Find a person, mentor, coach or course that gets you taking meaningful action.

• You have two choices for the kinds of changes you want to pursue: 1. Resilience: Gets you back to where you were before; 2. Transilience: Takes you to the next level when you want to be more than great again, when you want to move forward in your life.

• It is human nature to wait until the last possible minute to decide to take an action—just don’t be too late. Windows of opportunity do close.

• Drugs and medication have their place and may be needed to help people through transitional moments. But they are not life solutions. Even they are more effective when augmented with life-skills helping you deal with workplace stress.

TAKE ACTION: ALIGN YOUR ‘3 BRAINS’

• People don’t learn and adapt through information alone. Experience is essential.

• We are driven by survival (L1), by connection (L2), and by meaning (L3). That is, all three aspects of our triune brain are constantly at play in our lives.

• Marketing (and Google, and FB and…) have built empires on the premise that we rationalize our emotional decisions (not make rational decisions and then feel good about them).

• Optimal living comes from aligning, balancing—and when necessary—healing all three aspects of our lives: body, mind, heart.

• Recover balance between your rational and emotional brains to regain control—this can’t be done through rationalization and language.

• Repair your faulty alarm systems that after incessant stress (and no safeguards) result in hyper-and hypo arousal.

I never worry about the problem. I worry

about the solution.

STOP

When I first started out, I had a dream to help create a more peaceful and prosperous world. I began by training international youth as global citizens and leaders who could work with people of all nations, cultures and religions as wise stewards of our planet. Eventually I found my way to the United Nations.

More recently, and based on my years of experience at the UN and my #1 Amazon best seller entitled, United Nations Unlocked: The Missing Link the UN Needs to Tackle Global Terrorism and the Coming Tech Tsunami, I was contracted by the UN’s Chief Information Officer. The task: to develop a vision for how the ICT Network (the network of CIOs of the 30+ United Nations organizations including UNICEF, WHO, UNHCR, etc.) could re-envision themselves as a force for innovation and change. The goal was to support the larger work underway of moving the UN toward a UN 2.0, one capable of being effective in our digital twenty-first century as complexity grows.

As I worked with the UN’s CIO and her team, I began to realize that in spite of being a pragmatic “how-to” farmers daughter, I was still missing something pretty major. These smart, mission driven people were just not ready to take on something else.

Already stretched, overwhelmed, and stressed, they are able to energetically adopt even simple and strategic shifts. Their greater reality is that they are barely keeping their heads above survivable levels of stress and burnout.

Sure, I had crafted a strategic pathway to work in complex cases like the UN. But looking at this as a specific attempt at change, it was a sad failure. In retrospect it was a great gift. After watching this ICT Network wrestle with the concepts and the implementation issues, it led me to zero in on the heart of the matter.

A DIAMOND IS JUST A PIECE OF CHARCOAL THAT HANDLED STRESS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL.

Unknown

Even before this work with the UN’s CIO, I had identified why organizational change was essential, the organizational change needed, and a path for that change. But a major stumbling block remained. The team was not prepared to take that path, no matter the lip-service given. Each person was on the digital transformation highway BUT driving with their brakes on. They knew the objectives, even their “big why,” and what they needed to do. But something was holding them back.

In my search for a simple doable process (I hate long drawn out processes that seem to use “professional approaches” as an excuse for ineptitude) that could fill this gap, I stumbled across an enormously insightful and little-known methodology. Devised by a woman in Australia who, out of personal necessity created this remarkable missing piece that has made a massive difference for hundreds, and faster than they believed was possible. (You will learn more later.)

So my genius was not in creating this part of the solution to workplace stress, but in recognizing it was the missing piece and integrating it into a powerful, effective learning experience whose only purpose is to help people turn impossible situations into desired outcomes.

Even better, the knowledge, skills, support and experience needed to defuse adverse life events such as extreme stress, anxiety, even trauma can open up otherwise hidden new ways forward. Should you so choose, you can use The Transilience FormulaTM to power-up your fearless, authentic, compassionate and ethical genius-self.

Long story short, I have the satisfaction of knowing that The Transilience FormulaTM facilitates immediate and long-term changes that are both obvious and more profoundly deep ways than any other performance and optimization training to date. We put simple keys and tools into your hands. Use these to be strengthen your resilience and to develop transformative resilience. As you align all three aspects of your triune brain in your life, you will develop the capacity to power forward toward the life you truly want. This is the Transilience Phenomenon.

ARE YOU ONE OF THE 57.16% OF TECHS WHO WOULD ANSWER "YES" TO THE QUESTION, "ARE YOU CURRENTLY

SUFFERING FROM BURNOUT?”

Our triune brain is still an enormous mystery even though science has come a long, long way. But there are a few things we don’t need science to tell us.

First, that mastering our souls (body, heart and mind) is an ongoing human challenge. The ancient Greeks and Indians used a metaphor of the latest technologies of their time—a chariot—to explain this. Each charioteer handles two very powerful horses of dramatically different natures. Gaining mastery over these powerful and magnificent aspects of ourselves is a life-long endeavor. To handle those two extraordinary horses, our executive brain must understand and have masterful ways of working with them, keeping them healthy and fully appreciating all they can do.

Second, we each know the powerful reward center in our brains responsible for positive emotions such as joy, happiness and triumph when we win. And quite the opposite when we fail. Constant wins are one of the most important core experiences in Beating Burnout because this program is about experiencing new ways to win in your life, to master stress, and not just gather more information that sounds good, but does not shift anything in your life.

Master the chariot, master your Self Ancient Greek & Indian metaphor for mind, self & liberation

Today’s technologies have advanced far beyond those chariots. But your brain has not. Our brains remain ancient and yet we use them to create our tomorrows. We do this by mastering these wild horses and have them power us toward the life we want. OR they will take us on a wild ride that doesn’t end well.

Optimal use of your triune brain is the key to freedom from stress and burnout. Put your triune brain to work for you as one team: charioteer and horses.
