Connected Leaders Academy Your life is a direct printout of your subconscious programming — most of which was installed without your conscious consent, often when you were too young to choose what went in. While meditation, prayer, repetition, and hypnosis can help shift old patterns, there is a faster, more profound way to reprogram the subconscious: brainwave entrainment. By using gentle light and sound, you can guide the brain into the Theta state — the same calm, highly receptive state you’ve naturally experienced sitting by a campfire or listening to ocean waves at night. In this state, the subconscious becomes remarkably open to new, empowering beliefs, habits, and visions. Change no longer requires force or struggle. Instead, the subconscious can “wrap its arms around” new programming and accept it with ease and peace. During the course of this talk you’ll discover how to intentionally access this state and use it to transform your own results and more importantly, how to integrate this powerful tool into your work with clients and students. When your audience can deeply internalize your teachings at the subconscious level, their success rate rises dramatically, creating greater impact for them and powerful new opportunities for you. Phillip Lerdahl is the Co-Founder of Brain Aligned. He Started his first company at just 20 years old and has run multiple businesses over the years. After many years in a very painful relationship and changing his Faith, he was left weary looking for a way to take back control of his mind. This passion for the mind led him and his sons into creating the Brain Aligned process. A powerful way to tap into your mind's potential and be in control of your own subconscious. admin@Brainaligned.com https://info.brainaligned.com/home-page https://www.facebook.com/phil.lerdahl/ https://www.instagram.com/brainalignedoffical/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/phillip-lerdahl-31822313b/ ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

Connected Leaders Academy In a culture obsessed with self-improvement, the highest performers are often the ones quietly convinced that something is wrong with them. In this talk, Dr. Fred Moss, a psychiatrist of nearly forty years who left the system to challenge it, makes a provocative case: the feeling of being broken is usually not a flaw to fix but a signal worth listening to. Drawing on decades of clinical work and his own reinvention, he shows leaders how the endless drive to optimize quietly costs them presence, connection, and the very edge they are chasing. They came to dominate. They leave more human, and more powerful for it. Dr. Fred Moss is a board-certified psychiatrist with nearly five decades in mental health who now works as The UnDoctor. After forty years inside the system, he left conventional practice carrying a contrarian message: there may be nothing wrong with you, and there may never have been. Through his Welcome to Humanity platform, his Sacred Grove retreats, and his work with physicians and high performers, he helps leaders trade relentless self-fixing for something far more powerful, real human connection. He is the author of Welcome to Humanity: A Psychiatrist's Case Against the Mental Health System, a keynote speaker, and the host of more than three hundred podcast conversations. His message to driven people everywhere is simple. The world does not need you optimized. It needs you real. drfred@welcometohumanity.net welcometohumanity.net https://www.facebook.com/drfredmossmd https://www.instagram.com/drfredmoss/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/drfredmoss/ ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

Connected Leaders Academy Businesses do not need more AI tools, what they need is a steady flow of clients.

Connected Leaders Academy You built a business. You know what vision looks like. You know the difference between a company running reactively, putting out fires all day, and one running proactively with clear expectations, a trained team, and a culture that produces results without you standing over it. Now tell me honestly. Which one are you running at home? You have given your children everything. The experiences, the opportunities, the comfort, the convenience. And somewhere in the back of your mind you already suspect that something is not working. That the more you give, the less grateful they seem. That the harder you try, the further away the peace feels. What if the problem is not your children? What if it is the environment you unknowingly built around them? In this talk you will discover why the same principles that built your business are exactly what your family has been missing. You will leave with a different lens, a clear framework, and the tools to build a home that produces champions on purpose. Because champions are not bought. They are built. And now you will know how. Bonnie Liotta spent years as a top-ten global leader in two companies, coaching high performers to build businesses that win. She was also a mother of four children diagnosed with ADHD and ODD, running out of answers. Then she discovered her husband Thomas, a martial arts instructor with an award-winning after-school program built on success principles, not conventional discipline. She brought those principles home. The constant screaming and arguing gave way to peace, harmony, and genuine cooperation. No medication. No therapy. Just transformation. That moment became a mission. Together, Bonnie and Thomas built Creating Champions For Life, walking alongside 300+ families who had been failed by every system they tried. The journey has been an adventure, lean at times and uncertain, but never once driven by fear. This is a God story. Bonnie is the author of Learn to Speak Kid and Raising Healthy, Happy, Cooperative Kids, and is co-authoring the upcoming Parent in Love with Thomas. Her mission: every child should know their greatness by age 12. She's not here to inspire you. She's here to show you it's already possible.
