Michael describes himself as a “human catalyst” which I think it a cool description for the work that all coaches do. He define catalyst as
“a substance that increases the rate and enhances the results of a reaction. Since they are not consumed in the process, catalysts can be used repeatedly, and in different situations. “
Michaels focus is on Security and he runs The Security Catalyst at Securitycatalyst.com. Michael says that the security catalyst is a practice uniquely focused on the essential elements of every organization: people, information and risk.
As a full member of the National Speakers Association, Michael is known for delivering substantial content in a way that is energetic and entertaining. Michael connects with those he works with, and helps them engage in natural and comfortable ways – he literally makes security relevant and simple to understand! Michael pioneers new ways to engage others in the process of information protection. He created The Catalyst Academy to facilitate the exchange of ideas in a way that allows people to learn and apply their knowledge for immediate results and program success.

I love giving gifts and hate shopping. The thing that I really don’t like is the attention of a shop assistant when I don’t need or want it. I like to browse, walk around and when I have a question go to an assistant for help. Also, in my experience shop floor sales people are often woefully unaware of the products they are selling and this has compounded my dislike for the tradition retail experience.
So visiting Fabindia was a wonderful experience. Very clearly marked sections, excellent labeling with prices and a focus on artisan crafts mean that from entering a store you are met with a blaze of color and variety. Also, when you had a question the staff were extremely knowledgeable and helpful.
If you are ever in India and want to enjoy a more relaxed retail experience and support the over 15,000 crafts people that Fabindia sources from.

One of my core beliefs is that our purpose in life is to be abundant. To share our unique talents with the world. So many of my friends are people who are :
1. Really cool people
2. Massively overachieving in sharing their talents with the world
Dan Smith fits the bill on both these counts, and you won’t find a nicer “bloke” (Dan is from Australia!). Since moving to Shanghai he has expanded the nascent NLP “industry” through ChinaNLP, his ability to get on well with people and his willingness to share his passion and knowledge with others.
Learn more about his many and diverse projects (Dan still runs a men’s tailoring company in Australia) at his web site here.
Authentic. It’s the ingredient that all top leaders and speakers have. How comfortable are you with the identity you project to others? Do you know what identity you are projecting?
Get comfortable with yourself. Are you dressing the way you want? Are you in the right career? Are you living in the right city for you? If not, what can you do to become more authentically you. Experiment with small changes. Notice how others relate to you differently. Have fun exploring and expressing who you really are.
Tolerance. Isn’t this an essential fabric in binding human relationships? Why do you see less and less in today’s world?
Turn off your mind. Turn down your desires. Bring up your surrounding environment. Notice what’s going on around you. If you can do this, you are on the road to discovering tolerance. Pause your life. Tune into someone else’s in a curious way. Try to understand what they really care about. Accept it.
I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Start with something small. Take a slice of a big dream and live it now. You want to move to a dream house on a beautiful island? Don’t stress over not having the right life circumstances, plans or money to do it now. Dream of your place. Book a week. Go visit and play. Take pictures. Make a dream book that will stimulate your further dreams into opportunities and plans.
Next, turn one week into two weeks. Into a month. Start small. Take small steps. Always enjoy the journey.
Are you in tune with the buzz of the times? Clean energy. Sustainability. Water security and purity.
How is your life in balance? Where are you toxic? How can you reduce your dependence on chemicals in your food, water, pharmaceuticals?
Change yourself. Then change the world.
