John O'Leary

Based on his #1 bestselling book, John O’Leary shows us how to rediscover our childlike sense of wonder to unleash inspiration, meaning and joy.

There was a time when we once joyfully raised our hand high to answer every question, believed that anything was possible and fearlessly jumped into new experiences. When we danced through our days in awe of the ordinary moments of the day and eager for the promise of tomorrow.

Unfortunately, many of us experience life very differently today. With engagement within our professional organizations waning and burnout rising, many of us find ourselves caught in a life of dogged responsibility and mind-numbing repetition at work and at home. We feel disconnected and depleted.

In this talk, based on his latest book In Awe, John:

• Invites us to return to the joy and creativity of navigating life like a child
• Defines the five senses children innately possess, explains why those senses fade, and shares emotional, humorous, and inspirational stories of how we can return to them.
• Identifies the most substantial interpersonal challenges we face in living more fully and calls out the roots of those challenges, while providing practical and inspired solutions to address them.
