"Follow YOUR Genius: Onward & Upward" is an educational session at the Toastmasters International District 27 Spring Conference held at the Crystal City Marriott - Reagan National Airport. John Lesko, author of Facilitating Genius, intends to inform and inspire his audience by first introducing the theory of multiple intelligences and then focusing on two examples of genius achievement. Along the way, participants in this workshop will learn about ME v. WE thinking as well as what it means to be "sherpa-like" or a servant leader.

6. Revolutionize your viewpoint
Let go of self-limiting beliefs.
a) I am not creative.
b) I can’t _____. Or ...
c) I am not good at ______?
Overcome such thinking. Ask yourself:
1) When did I form this belief?
2) What makes me think this belief is true? Or,
3) If I let go of this idea, how might my life change?
9. Heroes by Example
When facing your ‘Everest’ consider ...
• What might you learn from the natives who live
nearest the challenge?
• What sort of planning do you need to do to succeed
in your “expedition?” What’s your Plan B?
• Have you planned for an unexpected “storm” or foul
weather?

not climbing.”
