Stepping Foward: A Hero’s Journey

[The animation of Joseph's presentation at TEDx Academy, Athens, Greece 10 October 2011]

““You All Have Brilliant Brains … And Bad Educations.”
- Dr. Joseph Riggio

You’ll find my newest video here on Blognostra: Stepping Forward: A Hero’s Journey … you’re gonna luv it!!!


Being Present

[A short clip with Joseph from "Exquisite Acuity" a program delivered in Denmark in 2005.]

“Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch’intrate”
(Trans: Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here)
- From: Dante Alighieri’s “Inferno”

In this short video Joseph suggests giving up “hope” – specifically not depending on hope to get what you want, but by becoming fully aware regarding what is actually present.

“Notice … in all the ways that humans are able to do so, what’s present.”
- Joseph Riggio, Ph.D.

There are 6 billion people in the world and every single one is a diamond in some stage of being polished. Life is either going to polish you up or grind you down. And the difference between the two lies in how much hope you have, how much faith you have in the fact that you do carry something special on the inside... that's waiting to get out. Many give up, not knowing they were only 10 minutes from triumph.
- Perry Marshall

I have known of Joseph for more than 13 years. However, it took about 10 years before I let him into my life at all. Over all that time he never pressured me to engage with what he has to offer. I flirted with the idea of working with him on a number of occasions … and then retreated again! This is a reflection of where I was in my life and his great acuity to see that it was for me to be ready for a meaningful engagement.

I have worked with a number of executive coaches over the years and have had mixed experiences. A common outcome was that I ended up feeling that the coach that I was working with was colluding with me and hence not supporting / pushing or enabling me to make the break throughs that I was seeking in my professional (and personal) life and self.

After a stand off of nearly 10 years I let down my guard … a little. Well, approaching 50 seemed like a good time to grow up and start enjoying all the blessings in my life. As I have got over my lack of “trust” for coaches / advisors / mentors based on self fulfilling prophecies that had repeated in my life, I let Joseph in. As I started to trust him I have found that I have had life changing experiences – in my professional, family and personal fulfilment. That does not mean that it has always been easy – and indeed I believe that is part of why I have been able to make fundamental shifts in how I am experiencing my life. In my interactions with Joseph he is relentless in his pursuit of the outcomes that I am seeking in my life – many times this is frustrating for me; at other times it is non-sensical. However, the more I trust him and the ways he works with me the more profound and transformational the changes that I am experiencing.

From trying to control everything in my life and taking things way too seriously – I am now more able to see things more for what they are – to others as well as myself – to laugh at myself and with others more, and to meet life as it unfolds.

So thank you Joseph for the ongoing gifts that you share with me and for the journey that we share.
