Audience Takeaway:
There is almost nothing more important than our health. Which might be precisely why very little provoke more emotions than when we talk about health – and what we can and should do. For more than 15 years, Chris MacDonald has been the leading Scandinavian seminar-holder on the topic, and he’s managed to inspire without pointing fingers – while translating profound science into nights of entertainment, smiles, and easily applicable knowledge.
Because being healthy and having the energy to do the things we want in life is one of the best feelings we can have as human beings – and without energy, everything becomes much more uphill.
But what are the keys to a healthy body and brain?
In the past decades, Chris has dug into the science of the most fundamental human needs. The needs that need to be met for a human being to be healthy, physically, and mentally.
In this inspiring seminar, which has run for sold-out venues across Scandinavia, he presents his findings along with the deepest and most profound answers of science. With humor and wit, he shares the discovery of the fundamental list that nature has imbued in us all – the list of non-negotiable needs that ensure human health and energy.
This is not a seminar about broccoli, interval-runs, and quick fixes. It is a scientific voyage through our evolutionary history – a journey of reliving laughs and great aha-moments that ultimately uncovers why we are equipped with exactly the needs that we are. And how to best meet them.
A seminar that has generated laughs across Scandinavia. And an experience that has given food for thought for leaders, employees, and participants looking to improve their health. Chris speaks with humor and candor about his personal challenges with health – and he shares the scientific and motivational road forward, leaving spectators with high fighting spirits and smiles on their lips.
One thing is knowing the keys to a strong body and a strong mind. Another is finding the motivation to actually do what is required to get there – cracking the code to our motivation.
Because we are the first generation privileged with the knowledge that makes it possible to improve our health and reach our goals. But the motivation to do what is necessary remains a dark horse; this elusive animal with immense power, which is notoriously difficult to reign in. So what is the code behind human motivation?
We know today that the idea of motivation as a pleasure-driven drive that makes everything easy – is an illusion. The harsh reality is that motivation very rarely arises before we act. In other words: Motivation doesn’t come first – it is a result. But of what?
In this captivating talk, Chris MacDonald presents the profound and ground-breaking discoveries of the past 50 years of motivational research. Discoveries that have largely stayed out of popular science – and remained unspoken in commonplace pep-talks. Discoveries which, when understood, can create dramatic impacts upon our lives and work-cultures.
With humor and disarming self-irony, Chris punctures the prevailing myths of motivation and shares a newfound and inspiring strategy for how we, as individuals and organizations, ensure that the non-negotiable ingredients behind real motivation and drive are in place.
Look forward to an evening that will leave you with a completely new view of motivation.
