Johannesburg, June 24, 2014: African Billionaire Events Management (ABEM | www.abem.co.za) is proud to announce that it will be hosting the legendary Robin Sharma (www.robinsharma.co.za) in Johannesburg on July 25, 2014. One of the world’s most influential business thinkers, authors and trainers, Sharma may be best known for his global best-seller The Monk who sold his Ferrari which has been translated into 42 languages. Today, his focus is the enormously popular and effective ‘Lead without a Title’ series in which he demonstrates principles and methodologies for taking complete charge of your own life and work experiences. This seminar which carries three ticket price points: R499 for Gold Seating, R999 for VIP Seating and R2999 for Platinum Seating, is a must-attend event for anyone who feels the need to take greater charge of their lives, to overcome obstacles to finding new opportunities, or just to understand what their greatest purpose is. “We’re genuinely excited about this one. Robin Sharma is like a guru for tens of millions of people around the world, and his 20 years of teaching from The Monk who sold his Ferrari to Lead without a Title have earned him an enviable reputation as a no-nonsense, practical, inspirational and brilliant human being. South African audiences are in for a real treat, but unlike many other speakers, Robin doesn’t just offer a wow factor, but real take-home value as well,” says Mubeen Khan, director at African Billionaire Events Management. “It doesn’t really matter who you are, or your path in life, this seminar, led by Robin himself, will teach attendees how to take on bigger challenges, make better decisions and solve more problems,” he says. The all-day event takes place at the Sandton Convention Centre – beginning at 09h00 and ending at 16h00 and features an additional guest speaker named Andy Harrington who will share his expertise on becoming an effective communicator and speaker before Robin Sharma hits the stage. Tickets (from R499.00 upwards) can be purchased via 011 367 0626, www.robinsharma.co.za, via computicket http://online.computicket.com/web/event/robin_sharma_leadership_redefined/828181767/0/60526851 or email [email protected]

I recently saw this Santam Video advert and it really got me thinking about the influence us as adults have on kids. Thinking back to my childhood days it dawned on me that as a kid you really do believe the world exists around the rules and actions of those adults around you. It’s amazing just how much parents influence their kids. How many kids out there, like all of us back in the day, when prompted will tell you that one day when they grow up they want to be a boilermaker, chef or taxi driver simply because that is the trade of a parent. If the previous statement holds true then it goes without saying that they will copy the behaviour of the parents as well. The way the parents deal with conflict, drive their car or simply just their attitude in life. Another simple example of this is cell phones; kids want a cell phone because they see their parents on their phones day in and day out. I have a friend with a 6 year old daughter, who when I jokingly asked her what she wants for her birthday responded in details that she wants an iphone5. Of course everyone in the room laughed; when someone asked why see wanted an iphone she simply replied ‘cause mommy has one’. So her wanting a cell phone, in particular the iphone5; had nothing to do with the functionality or status associated with this particular phone, rather it was directly related to the fact that her mother had one. So I think that parents pass on more than we realise to our children, it is not just about the gene pool. There are also the everyday actions, the way we conduct ourselves in front of them that they mimic. They want to be and act like adults and we are their role models, their point of reference. Do you drive with one hand and chat away on your cell phone while you have the kids in the car? Do you think they notice? Do you think that they will do the same? Have a look at the video and tell me what you think - I sure that if you have kids this will definately get some sort of re-action..... |
