19. Do You Live in Wonder? with Eric Saperston

“To know the road ahead, ask those coming back.” – Ancient Chinese Proverb What if someone told you the real pandemic started before the pandemic? Eric Saperston will argue that it did. A communication expert, leadership coach, award-winning filmmaker, and self-proclaimed ‘wonder enthusiast,’ Eric Saperston believes that the real pandemic in our culture started long ago, with an unrealistic expectation of what defines success and makes us happy. Running yourself into the ground isn’t the answer. More than 25 years ago, Eric embarked on an enlightening road trip with some friends before college. With a burning desire to bridge a generation gap and open a dialogue with some of the world’s most successful people – Billy Crystal, Former President Jimmy Carter, and Jerry Garcia, to name a few – Eric started cold calling. His mission was to discover the values successful people lived by, the struggles they endured, and the advice they would give others to prepare for the road ahead. What he learned was fascinating. Listen in as Eric discusses: - The common traits, motivating factors, and guiding principles which enable everyday people to produce extraordinary results - How living in wonder, awe, and mysterious unfolding creates a journey of lifelong learning that leads to happiness - How COVID allowed many of us to hit the reset button in life and explore the real meaning of fulfillment How often do you pause in the present moment and allow yourself to be moved, inspired, and filled with gratitude and wonder? #liveinwonder #values #guidingprinciples #personaldevelopment #professionaldevelopment #leadershipcoach #growthmindset #success #happiness #keynotespeaker #eventplanner #meetingplanner #eventplanning
