A little while after I started the Dublin Event Guide in 2007, I came across a free 3-day event in Dublin that was called "Breakthrough to Success" by Chris Howard.
The description was interesting and intriguing and at the same time it raised some concerns.
It sounded dodgy: "Life changing"? "Break through your barriers"? "Radically transform you life"?
"Yeah sure", I thought!
See, at that time, I had never experienced Personal Development. I didn't even really know what it was. And I had never heard of Chris Howard.
But I was curious! More curious than afraid ;-) ...of what they would do to me. And in the end I went to that event in Ballsbridge.
I sat there listening in "defensive mode" for the first few hours. Chris is a great speaker and trainer, but it all sounded too good. After a while of hearing more and more interesting stuff and realising that he didn't just hit the nail on the head about what was holding me back, but also made sense in how to overcome the hurdles, I relaxed and properly took part. And it had a huge effect ...
The event did actually truly change my life!
I know that is a BIG statement. But because of what this event triggered, I became a Personal Development and Business Coach myself. I became an NLP (Neuro Lingusistic Programming) Master Practitioner and even NLP Trainer and learned Hypnosis and then I started a training and coaching business, the "Inspiring Leadership Academy".
This event also was the reason why I worked hard on expanding the Dublin Event Guide from a few hundred to more than 24,000 subscribers. And what I learned all these years ago, I still use every day.
So for me it was genuinely life changing! Chris became a friend and I am eternally grateful for the chance of learning the things I learned from him and his trainers over the years.
"Breakthrough to Success" is an outstanding personal development event where you learn about the role your unconscious mind plays in your life and how it holds you back. You will analyse where you are stuck in life and will find out how to get unstuck. How to set goals and how to reach them and how to overcome all those limiting decisions on the way is another big element. If you have never done any Personal Development training, this is definitely a good place to start and if you have done already some training, then it will refocus and inspire you again!
A few years later Chris Howard slowed down, took a long break and nearly stopped his teaching.
But thankfully he is back! Right now he is not doing the big in-person events anymore, but he moved everything online and the event works in that format as well!
And at the end of February, for the first time in many many years, he is running his signature programme "Breakthrough to Success" as an online event at a time that suits us in Europe!
"Breakthrough to Success" is a 3-day programme from Friday to Sunday (24-26 February) from 15:00-22:00. It will challenge you at times (in a good way!), it will be long and you HAVE to take the Friday afternoon off work and stay with it for the full time (otherwise don't do it, you will not get the benefit!).
By the way: Chris will offer his other courses at this event (otherwise he couldn't run this three day seminar for free), but there is no obligation whatsoever to sign up for any of the offered seminars. This three day event on its own can change your life.
I will attend the event and will hopefully see some of you there!
(Disclaimer: I spread the word about this event, because I genuinely think that EVERYONE should do it, because it is so valuable. You can attend the 3 days for absolutely no charge and neither Chris nor I will have any direct benefit from your attendance in that case (but you will!!). If, however, you join the event by selecting one of the non-free plans (that include lots of bonuses), then under certain circumstances, I could get a small proportion of that admission charge (and I will invest that into the Dublin Event Guide).
"I have expanded my network of friends and support base and doubled my income in a matter of months.
I now wake up every day knowing that I am living my life with passion, fulfilling my dream of making a difference in the world and being who I always knew I was inside. Thank you from the bottom of my heart." --Kim
