Tips for Conquering Fear & Empowering Yourself
Happy Friday everyone!
Earlier this year I was excited to be given the opportunity to do a “live” TV interview in Pittsburgh to help promote “Play Your Bigger Game.” Just moments before the interview I had a classic GULP moment, and it almost didn’t happen.
You can read about my “adventure” on Maria Shriver’s website by clicking here. She is such an inspiring bigger game player, and I’m honored to now be listed as an “Architect of Change” on her site.
Enjoy!

Having an argument with someone we care about is often a very uncomfortable feeling for all of us. While we are going through it, it
Hungry for More in Your Life?
Have you ever found yourself standing in front of your refrigerator with the door open while thinking, I’m hungry. I just don’t know what I
Alice Coles is a natural
I’ve talked about Alice Coles for over a decade in The Bigger Game workshop. She is an excellent example of what I call a “natural” bigger game player. Her story brings the Bigger Game Board to life! As many of you know, I had the pleasure to meet Alice in person at the Bigger Game Expo this past May.
Alice is pure inspiration! Expo attendees listened to her every word, and I was a bit star struck, to be honest! We’re working on an extended video clip of Alice and her work that we’ll debut next month, but in the short term, I just had to share a tiny clip of her talking about what it means to play a bigger game. What a great way to start a Monday morning!

1,001 Dreams
Meet Jocelyne Desroches. She recently took the Bigger Game workshop in Montreal, and at first, wasn’t willing to take action and leave a comfort zone that wasn’t serving her.
No worries – not everyone is able to realize their compelling purpose and/or actually name their bigger game right out of the gate. There is no pressure – trust the process and your game will find you.
And that is exactly what happened to Jocelyne. In her words…
“When I did the workshop, I knew what motivated me, but I thought it was not time in my life to take action. During the weekend, I stayed in my comfort zone by naming something else, not wanting to feel the bomb sleeping in me. The months passed and I found, with your help and energy, my fantastic adventure of Bigger Game. I adapted it to my reality, my strengths and my limitations. And I want to share it with you.”
Jocelyne’s Bigger Game is to help her African friend Simeon Koalaga’s dream come true. She is selling bracelets to raise funds for a water pump and a fence to realize Simeon’s dream to grow vegetables and improve his family’s quality of life.
In the excitement of this game, Jocelyne has enrolled the help of her husband, Daniel, and their game has quickly morphed to something even bigger… together they will create 1,000 projects and raise $1,000 per project to raise one million dollars for African families, women’s groups and children. They call their Bigger Game 1,001 Dreams and their slogan is “Little by Little.”

I’m excited to congratulate Jocelyne and Daniel in what they are creating. When we are compelled, we can truly create miracles!

Amazing Things
What inspires me the most about this month’s featured Bigger Game Player, James Mellon, is his ability to create. James is a producer, writer, actor, dancer, singer, minister (the list goes on and on and includes tap dancer!)… who includes and creates from every aspect of his life in service of entertaining, engaging and enlightening us all.
As the co-founder of The Global Truth Network, his Bigger Game is to provide Enlightenment Through Entertainment.
At the Bigger Game Expo, James reminded us that we all have creative genius within us to create magical fulfilling lives.
Here’s a clip of James at the Expo… I hope you’ll enjoy his positive energy and wisdom!

So Much Magic!
“You have amazing gifts that the world needs.” Leza Danly spoke these words at The Bigger Game Expo and they could not be truer.
Our lives really are all made up, and it’s our job to reveal our strengths and gifts and to let the world see us in our magnificence. There is so much opportunity… so much magic… in the world, and it’s ours for the taking.
What will you create for our world?

Boy do I need a break. Summertime flew by, and I seem to be getting busier and busier. Phone calls… workshops… planes… trains… and automobiles!
