I’m crazy nervous about this but at the same time really excited (what’s a word to describe nervous+excited? my dictionary is not helping me right now).
There’s no easy way to say this, but I will be speaking from the same stage as Richard Branson, Sean Stephenson, and even the Dalai Lama.
I couldn’t believe it at first. I am literally bursting with happiness and feel so uplifted to be even considered to speak at the same event as these giants.
And as one of our 230,000 FinerMinds readers I’m hoping you might get a chance to attend.
Alright so these are the details. The event (some of you already know this) is called Engage Today. It’s happening September 30th to October 3rd, this year and it’ll be held in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
This isn’t any ol’ conference. It comes with intent and the purpose to affect change on a global scale. What’s even more amazing is that you’re a part of this change too. The whole goal of the conference is to bring together world geniuses under one roof to create a catalyst for economic, social, and environmental change.
And here’s where you come in. This conference is a place for individuals to learn how to adjust their methods of thinking for a new world. This is where you’ll learn to use your passion to make a difference.
If that wasn’t enough, check out some of the people speaking at this event.
The Visionaries Speaking At Engage Today
- Richard Branson — this entrepreneurial genius will be sharing his insights on combining business and power to address some of the biggest problems of the world today
- His Holiness the XIVth Dalai Lama - he’ll be speaking about the true meaning of “prosperity” and how you can use it to make global change.
- Bill Harris — the founder and director of Centerpointe Research Institute and star of The Secret. We featured Bill on FinerMinds a few months back and almost 2140 of you rushed to his site to receive his free meditation CDs.
- Sean Stephenson — will be talking about finding your unique voice despite any personal or physical limitation and why the only thing that can hold you back is yourself.
- Dr. Stephen R. Covey - author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Dr. Covey will give you what it takes to be a leader to change the world and yourself as well.
- President F.W. deKlerk — this former president of South Africa will be sharing his courageous story of ending apartheid and releasing Nelson Mandela after 27 years of imprisonment.
- Janet Attwood — co-author of The Passion Test, Janet will help you rediscover your p
assions.
Not to mention a special evening concert with Bryan Adams and K.D. Lang.
So you know how I feel about this whole event. Now I want to know how you feel about it. Who would you want to meet the most and why. For me it was always Richard Branson. His stance on social entrepreneurship and all of his efforts to help the environment and society are immense but now I can’t wait to meet the His Holiness the XIVth Dalai Lama. So what I want from you is this:
If you could meet one of these amazing global leaders,
WHO would it be and why?
Drop a comment below and share your thoughts. Just imagine the conversation and what you could learn from them.
Cheers,
Vishen Lakhiani

What they are doing is not new for me. To create a world in happy posibilities for everyone we have to contribute to our needs en dreams to fulfill it. Then we can grow as a human race to higher dimensions. Love to meet you. With all my heart.
Well, meeting theses peoples would be very interesting, but only with additional people like.… mostly David Icke or Alex Jones maybe or other people who surely have a serious ideas on what can be done to have a change in society for the people, instead just excite people with ideas that will never come true! And concerning the former president of south africa…euuhm, sorry but I’m not with you when you speak about his socalled courage … ! Sell truth and true information, not useless excitment. That cost us all too much on a longterm.
And finally that speaking about things and conditions like they really are instead of missleading endorming speeches, all this on a big & little scale. This is one occasion.
Let us free the tiger within each of us!
The meeting would be far more interesting with people really questioning the world’s happening and asking the right questions. That’s what will surely missing when it comes to it.
No offens to the Dalai Lama, Richard Branson and Co., but they bright more through their Names than through standing behind truth and make it openly expand.
i would like to ask fw deklerk if it would be possible for this whole group to assist in securing the release of the worlds longest incarcerated political prisoner, leonard peltier who is representative of the worlds greatest ongoing holocaust, the genocide of the indigenous people of the americas. as long as this holocaust continues we cannot say as a collective that we are gaining ground in our evolution as a human family. by securing the release of mr. peltier i feel this will be a constructive signal to the world that things are changing for the better. i can foresee a world class speaking tour that engages the experience of mr. peltier in the same manner that occured with mr. mandela.
I found it most interesting to read the comments before i respond this time, as there were some very interesting comments, Most inspiring was from Sandra and Starchild thankyou for sharing that cancer tip, I have known about the hydrogen peroxide for some time, The fact is we can make a difference by helping other’s and even sharing information that could save lives without trying to make a profit with it. Yes through platforms like this we can share our knowledge freely to help humanity,we can guide eachother to enlightenment and recommend and share through our experiences and suggest what action can be taken. In terms of attending this seminar I can’t imagine that this will be inexpensive,The best would be that they offer it free,As they all earn more than enough money,
Why would anyone want to be there, Is clearly to share in the experience of watching great minds come together and sharing in the vast knowledge they have accumulated,Im sure it will be electrifying.But as we all intuitively know the way to the kingdom is within,My dream would be that they teach us to teach eachother to spread this knowledge, to heal ourselves and eachother, how to stop proverty hatred,and wars, because we can,Jesus did not just come hear to die on the cross, but to tell us the kingdom is in our mist that miracles can happen thru the power and faith of spoken word.and through our love which is embedded in our hearts at birth.And yes we can make a change one drop at a time. We are more powerful than we give ourselves credit for. Allah just means God and most muslims know Gods name is jehovah,There of course other gods in other religions, We are all searching for truth and living on the thrush whole of enlightenment it can be seen and felt all around us. It’s so much information out there it’s confusing to know what the real truth is.The truth is Love and God is Love in manifestation.We all are trying to find our oneness our peace even if we fall from grace on our path,We are all just trying to contribute our part and understanding of being human through our experiences,One can choose to follow or be a leader of ones own example of the truth.The man that knows something knows he knows very little. Only God knows all.
I would love to attend and have the opportunity to hear each presenter as well as the reactions of the audience.
If I were only able to speak with one of the attendees, I instantly choose the Dalai Lama. His experience,wisdom, spirit and intention is essential for a well-balanced vision of the future. He has dedicated his entire life to the pursuit of peace and awareness. Learning from him along with an opportunity to discuss one’s insights with him would be a magnificent gift. I wish all well who are able to be there — and spread the light to and for the rest of us.
BTW– I agree that it makes much sense to make the event as accessible to all who wish to honestly participate. One day we will come to such consenses. I, for one, may choose attendance is worth it, regardless. Namaste.
I belive that everything i have just read from our finner minds, have many things in common and i place em in this category, energy, self regconition, solutions, problems, and life itself. moreover life evolves thru the changes of the heart and the amount of energy we could put into it, just like the movie of the “secret the law of attraction”. along with a book i have read called 48 laws of power by robert greene, and the idea of this movie and book would be on how to make a better mind thru positive energy and negative energy when both combine you get leverage. its like why worry about the future past or present when we have everything we need with in our minds for we live on planet earth but we really live in our minds. the source is the answer solution and insurance to life, God himself, for only he surpasses all understandings,for i quote psalm 82 verse 6 i said
“you are gods, and all of you are children of the most high. i bow to all of those who challeges life itself god bless ous all richard, bill, janet, the presidentand crew, for in god i trust.
First and foremost, I have to say I am offended that F.W. deKlerk is speaking at the conference.
Did anyone talk to Nelson Mandela about speaking? I would think he has far more to say about courage than F.W. deKlerk. Someone who headed the South African Government under Apartied should not be speaking at this conference– beside the fact that there was nothing extraordinary about doing what any decent leader should have done– long before 27 years. If this is a spiritual event and call for change– lets start with recognizing the humanity of all people. If you’re going to have deKlerk then have Nelson Mandela or Bishop TuTu. deKlerk is a coward along with all the rest of the South Africans who in making the transition left the country with enormous debt, and deceived the new leaders, taking all the money out of the country so that there was nothing left to rebuild and truly begin to heal a devestated population of the indigenous.
I wouldn’t want to hear deKlerk’s story and I wouldn’t believe him anyway unless he was willing to tell the absolute truth about what happened during and after the transition– (post apartied). I hope none of the other people you invited have such a blighted past.
For now the Dali Lama would be my choice if I could attend.
I think and this is how i live …I read and this is how i grow…
I’m with Daniel on that.
These were really inspiring comments, and covered all the things I wanted to bring up. The thing I am most grateful for is all these people writing in, so thanks for making it possible. Please keep it going! I think Andre Afrika makes a good point about including someone like David Icke. I actually was so frustrated that humanity had made so little progress over thousands of years regardless of the messages of great people. Your average person is not a war-mongering monster,at least not sufficiently to explain our world. There had to be something else as well.
Thanks and best wishes to all.
I’m very much into the gathering of the feminine spirit and the return to balance that is happening across the world, especially online… I’m not just referring to women only , but qualities that are considered feminine, which are within everything and everybody. I LOVE being around that energy, which I see in everything that I’ve read and heard about this event.
I have had the pleasure of spending time with Janet Attwood and Marci Schimoff several years ago when Janet just released her first addition of “The Passion Test” at one her first retreats in her home and I look back at my top 5 passions, “hanging with people who are positive, caring, smart, fun loving and want to make a positive difference in the lives of others” is right on that list.
So it only makes sense that to be around this crowd would meet that passion BIG TIME! I would just revel in the conversation and energy in the room!
But the other thing is that the one thing that Greg talked about in the interview that really struck home was the fact that he was willing to just be himself on stage and off, share himself as a real person and do what he can to help change to a “community” based way of life and doing business is something that I have been talking about to others online and off for many years and have been severely reprimanded for many times. It is just so cool to find people like him and you Vishen, who come from that frame of mind and are actually teaching others how to do that!
I could pick your minds for hours, as I have a mission much the same, but could use some mentoring and support. I have watched how the internet has opened up women’s voices and hearts and feel that NOW is the time to ramp it up! Especially now with the newest generation of women in my family arriving to the scene! I want a positive future for her, ya know?
This is an amazing line up and I will find a way to come and experience the vibration before I head back to Australia! Thanks to Janet for sending me your way!
Hi,
I have met Richard Branson, he is truly amazing, so unpretentious, i really enjoyed his parents and the way Richard was more interested in playing hide and seek with the youth that he had just built a college for than stand around sipping drinks with all the business men in their suits. He is a child at heart and lives for adventure and making things happen for the better of those who would not normally have the chance. Well done Richard.
I SAID GAG ME WITH A SPOON.
