Streaming and Reading How Kobe Bryant meditated his way to win 5 NBA titles Kobe Bryant was a meditator. Can you believe that? We can. Kobe tapped into mindfulness when playing with the Lakers. He found his edge reaching the "flow state. All this by sitting in stillness in the locker room before games. Kobe practiced meditation for at least 10-15 minutes a day. Meanwhile his coach, the Zen Master, Phil Jackson shared with Oprah about how he coached Kobe and Michael Jordan to mediate and practice mindfulness. If it worked for Kobe, why not for you? Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging An ex-Navy SEAL friend recommended this book to me, Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging. On the surface it's about a soldier's homecoming after suffering PTSD in war. However, deeper, it discusses the disconnect going on in our society today. Why do we treat our neighbors like strangers? Junger shares insights about how Native American tribes stayed connected to one another. Using Indigenous cultures as case studies, he shares how tribes can teach us how to be one our families, communities, and country.  3 Secrets to Authentic Storytelling A few years ago I gave a Google @Author talk around Telling Your Authentic Story. Overall, storytelling is the story we tell ourselves. I created a storytelling structure to help you develop 3 authentic stories to tell in any room, anytime, to anyone. In this talk at Google Venice, I am wearing a fancy suit, explaining how to become a better storytelling for public speaking, business, and socially. I'm also teaching a FREE webinar on April 30th on Authentic Storytelling if you want to learn more!
