Passion Power Series:  “Ignite Your Fire, Inspire Their Focus”

Today’s 24/7, “always on” world often cycles between "do more with less" downsizing and ever faster upgrading…and the pressure keeps mounting.  How can you transform the mental exhaustion and energy depletion into heightened purpose and sharpened performance?  Want to discover how renewed fire and focus can become passionate and playful energy for inspiring others?  Are you ready to generate your uncommon “Passion Power”

Whether educating or selling, whether a manager or a team member or, perhaps, a mentor or role model you need to challenge and capture the imagination of your audience and motivate their heartfelt belief in you?  Don’t just “walk the talk.”  Instead, learn to “romance through the dance” of unexpected ideas, empathy and exuberance.

Whether as a series, as a keynote or as a half-day or full-day program, Mark Gorkin, MSW, LICSW, the “Stress Doc” ™, acclaimed “Motivational Speaker” and “Psychohmorist” ™, will challenge and inspire you with his dynamic, interactive and FUN presentation and small group exercises.  You will:

I.   Recovering Passion:  Rebuilding Your Fire and Creating Your Focus

You will learn “combat strategies at the burnout battlefront” – from the “Six ‘F’s of Loss and Change” to the “Four ‘R’s of Rejuvenation.”  Discover the Stress Doc’s Passion Matrix:  How “Energy” [Autonomy and Aliveness] and “Empathy” [Awareness and Acceptance] yield the “Four ‘C’s of Passion.”  Visualize and vitalize emotional muscles and strategic skills for being more “Conscious,” “Compassionate,” “Courageous” and “Collaborative.”  Remember, one must “know the pain to transform the fire to burning desire!”

II.  Rediscovering Your Four “P” Power Potential:  Creatively Channeling

Opposition and Aggression

Discover the power in grappling with polarity and contradiction:  question the conventional, consider multiple sides, generate a richer, more novel and holistic perspective, embrace creative confusion and paradox while generating higher-order understanding.  Channel vital aggression to focus emotion and sharpen thinking while strengthening drive and discipline as well as igniting mind-body chemistry.  Transform self-defeating power struggles into safe, playful and trust building arenas. 

From “Listening and Letting Go” (Passion Method) to evolving your capacity for “Wit and Wizdom” (Power Pathway) you will discover specific steps for bringing to life this paradoxical template and tool. Harness performance anxiety by confronting your “Intimate FOE:  Fear of Exposure.”  Design your own image and vision of “Passion Power” and strategic plan for applying this concept in your presentational and performance arenas.  By integrating “Energy” and “Empathy” (Passion Dimensions) with “Meaning Mode” and “Motivational Mood” (Power Dimensions) you will transform “Passion Power” into  “3-D” performance and leadership – becoming “Dynamic, Daring and Discerning”.  The “Passion Power” Motto:  “Ignite Your Fire, Inspire Their Focus.”
