Hockey, Communication, and Unconditional Love with TEDx Speaker, Doug Gordon - Pt.1

In this episode of Wake Up To Real Love, Dawn is joined by an award-winning and internationally renowned professional consultant, TEDx speaker,  and CEO and corporate trainer, Doug Gordon. Together they discuss Doug’s journey from national hockey player to certified mental wellness practitioner, why our parents are teachers and why you should give out unconditional love without expectation. KEY TAKEAWAYS There are lots of things that you can learn from playing in a sports team that can be brought into the corporate world as well. Managing your emotions and controlling your state of mind is one. Communication and presentation skills are very important in sales the better you present the more money you’re going to make. Why? Because with better communication comes more aligned and positive relationships. Our parents are teachers and everybody has their own past relationships and experiences that are seen from different angles and perspectives in life. So always ask the question to understand someone, rather than making assumptions. So many people experience such hardship and challenges in their life that they end up carrying baggage around. But you have to figure out how to have resilience and create results and aincredible life. Give without the expectation of anything in return, that's unconditional love. Unconditional love is not transactional, it’s given out of the love to help, support and encourage your partner. BEST MOMENTS “Maybe there's something from our previous lives that we connect with.” “Wow, I'm in the wrong industry, I need to move into the financial world.” “I really enjoyed the people side of sales in terms of connecting with so many different amazing people out there that are still working in the industry as well.” “I see love as a vibrant energy.” “I’ve got two different perspectives in terms of ying and yang, but both moulded well together in terms of learnings to help me grow.” “I believe in the laws of the universe in terms of positive and negative.” “You're conditioned to perform in order to receive love, in order to get love, you know, in order to get some sort of validation and recognition.” CONTACT METHODhttps://www.instagram.com/[email protected] ABOUT THE HOST Dawn Rishárd, M.A. with 20 years as a Licensed Professional Counselor, Marriage and Family Systems, I empower people to release the past, open their hearts, and receive the love they desire.
