FANTASTIC! My multitasking and email checking has held me back from being productive in my business! I love the idea of blocks of time for certain tasks. I am not the only person with this issue. I believe that we need training around these issues. Our teck world has grown faster then us humans and we are not prepared to manage. Imagine how our children feel?? One of my BIG visions is that we offer this new lifestyle training within our school systems. It is SO important that we get a hold of young minds NOW before we produce a world of unconcious beings. I am a mother of 3 and this is a priority! Anyone on board with me?????? ~Sally Miller Lifestyle coach

Hi Eben, I really admire you and appreciate every word of yours. I'd love to meet you and have you to teach your message some day also in Finland! Thank you! Aini

Awesome! Powerful! Greg, you are so right about Eben and his message. My two instant reactions are: #1. This is exactly what I've been working on since January 1 as I made "Full Engagement" part of my theme for this year, and the order of your thinking brings focus and clarity to the creative thinking mind with application of your recommended plan. Awesome! #2. This is a powerful process to be shared with friends and colleagues around the globe and I'm very excited about sharing it with my network and engaging enthusiastic conversation around applying it and spreading the word, the message, and the actualization of results as it is applied. Powerful! Thank you both so much for this message which is so vital in these changing times. Don Gutridge II - CEO Synergy Coach

Hello Eben, some very simple, practical information. Thank you. Greetings from Valencia, Spain.

Eben is a genius.

Excellent presentation! Words of wisdom! I'm taking notes! :)

Eben articulates so well the need for uninterrupted blocks of time to accomplish anything, and he tells us how to create this necessary space. If only more employers and bosses understood this!! Are the managers and bosses listening? Hope so.

Thanks for sharing such rich content with us, Greg & Kourosh. It's so simple, yet so difficult to build the anti-multi-tasking habit. I'll see if I can do it for 30 days. And perhaps someday it'll lead to a $30M business for me.

This is an outstanding, heartfelt presentation. Thank you Barbara, for your strength and willingness to stand in your power, modeling that for all of us!

Good presentation.

Powerful stuff... I can't wait to see the whole video!

What a challenge...to be engaged and committed to living in the moment so something of value can be imparted because we were there. I was struck that mere interest tends to pass as true engagement and with some reflect to realize just how vicariously we tend to live our lives. Right now I am thinking of the moment and how watching this video can be a doorway to something more waiting on the other side. See you there:)

Dear friend, The video make me remenber how enthusciastic I was about engagement matters, and how important is to feel it. I want to keep this gift always. By the way, thanks for all you done for me. Maria.

I so much appreciate the opportunity to enjoy all these inspirational speakers. Thanks to your generosity in giving the world access to the happening through videos, I enjoyed it while it was on. I was at that time planning a new business online for the swedish market. Watching the videos from Engage Today actually lifted my vision and goals from a small business to one including a number of employees. So be it! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Being a part of this panel, and the entire experience at ENGAGE TODAY was truly an honor. In listening again to what I and the other panelists shared, I am reminded of how important the act of fully ENGAGING is for all of us who want to make a difference in the world. Engaging does not have to happen when we are formally doing our "work", but in each and every moment. As we engage fully with those we serve, our family and friends, each person with whom we come into contact, and most of all, with ourselves, we will experience the powerful surge of energy that always occurs when we are fully engaged. You can see that all of us were 100% engaged in this panel, in offering our answers, and I hope those of you who watch this will be 100% engaged in receiving the gifts of wisdom it offers! With love from Barbara

I was talking to my 16 year old son the other day while we were driving as he is about to get his learner's licence and will driving himself very soon. We were talking about the difference between tunnel vision and expanded awareness and what it can mean for your driving and as the conversation progressed what this can mean to your life. To me being engaged in the presence of every moment is all about having expanded awareness - being aware of what is happening not just directly in front of you, but all around you the sights, sounds and feelings coming at you from every direction so that you can fully savour each and every moment. It's like sucking the juice right out of each moment before it passes and not missing anything. Living in expanded awareness after years of practice has become second nature to me and I can fully percieve the difference it makes in my life by observing others. I am fully aware of not only possible dangers, but possible opportunities and the beauty of life being lived all around me. I call it "living rich." Living Rich means I get to feel rich, lush and abundant in every breath I take as each and every moment I live is full of the rich texture in the weft and weave of life all around me. This to me is living engaged!

Another way of putting it is that, when we are fully "enagaged" we put on our divinity. As divine beings, we know no fear, only love, compasson. In other words, we are all God...but we tends to foget this, becoming lost in our humanity instead.

Hi Greg & Everyone at Engage 2009. The video description of your panel as well as yourself, creates the purpose, need, desire to be focused, communicative, to analyze to respond to the commitment, not to react a openness to the depth of your dominion as well as the intentions of the engagement of whom you are responding to whether it be a situation or a person. Personify oneself to collectively be cohesive in that you are a sponge a magnet of magical opportunity by gathering the tidbits of whole & purposeful data that will create value for that special moment of transference of inner light that feeds the thirst of the All Seeing Eye!!! To capture the essences that guided gift of one's higher self to reach the Zenith of one's PLAIN! To pitch the substance of Truth through the EYE of YOUR NEEDLE! Laying the sanity of a fruitful journey versus the destination / trip!!! Amen.... Brother Greg! To reach that leaven height of Bliss in so that one has accomplished the Purest of thoughts to the exact measure of every ounce of your Goodness allows. To charge your Progress as a Exalted Warrior in battle to rein one's Crown so as to Offer it to thy Brothers & Sisters, the equality of Sharing with them the Ultra Victory of Love, to pour forth with devotion in giving your ALL for that simplistic attribute of knowing you done a Deed most Worthy of any Idealistic Man of Nobility thus setting the stage to cease another Dy.!!! "Show me the Freedom" to Lead is to be Nobel, to Follow is Loyal!!! We must have Leaders & Followers, inorder that the Right hand knows what the Left hand is doing!!! We shall layeth & sleepeth till another dawn arises!!! Thanks for the space. Norval....

@Barbara De Angelis Barbara-- I studied with you a few years ago--when I was living in Sedona. I'm in LA now and using the principles you taught me to step into leadership in the forgiveness field. It's so wonderful to hear you in this video. Thank you for everything. Brenda

what Barbara said is so touched my heart, I wrote her saying word by word on a paper and post the paper on my bedroom wall so every morning I wake up and look and it will be the first thing i say to my self. thanks so much Barbara thanks Greg for sharing this with us and looking forward to more. Tahani

Engagement is dancing with your universe and being open to letting it bring life to you moment by moment instead of trying to control and direct every moment with your mind. Your intuition is 100% accurate ALL THE TIME. Trust it, let life flow, be open to what the universe is offering and don't let your logical mind come up with all the excuses it likes to come up with for why you can't follow your dreams.

I feel the batteries being charged already & I can't wait. Let's go. But hey what happens when I start to lose it as my life experiance teaches me? Well, let's see where this goes. I'm present & expecting the unexpected. Let's get engaged. Let's go for it.

Thank you so much for sharing these powerful life lessons. This is worth replaying every day until it sinks in; until we do not take so much that we have for granted. We only get out of life, out of a relationship, what we put in, what level of engagement we undertake.

Thanks for such an amazing video! I am absolutely blown away! Engagement! .... To bring something together! .... and what is that something?? People ... Ideas ... Energy ... I read in the news today that scientists pushed back the hands on the symbolic Doomsday Clock by one minute citing hopeful developments in nuclear weapons and climate change. It is events like Engage Today and people like Greg, his speaking guests and his listening guests that also helped push back this clock! Thank You again! Greg & Everyone at Engage Today!

Some enlightening comments. Looking forward to further videos. Thank you for this one.

Hi there, I'm loving the value of the content - Thanks for making them available! However am having great trouble watching it ;-( the Zappos video makes it about 2 min and goes back to the beginning... is it just me or is there a problem? Maybe its just my download speed (wireless modem) but the Engagement video took 5 hours + to download!! Any ideas? Angela

Thank you Sean for speaking straight to my heart and my "buts". There are no mistakes. I was supposed to hear your speech at this moment. With Warmest Aloha, Kim Schaefer :-)

Greg, this is an amazing group of speakers. I have watched all 3 videos posted so far and can't wait for more. The thing that has really hit home for me is that I have always felt on some level that my personal spiritual work has been in conflict with the role that I am playing now as the marketer and sales person for our family's software company. The question was , "How was I going to Be who I really AM while actively persuing trade and commerce. As I listened to all of these special people that you have brought together to inspire the world, I can see how they are pracising the priciples that I hold dear in the business world and making an impact by using them. I am truly inspired by all of your speakers. Each one has a special message to impart.

Dear Sean, thank you for this inpiring video. You are exceptional human being and make wander about life. God bless you, Maria.

One of my favorite comments was from Joe - about how when you truly listen to people, they will blossom. I'm currently taking a course called 'Heart of Communication' and I'm just now learning how powerful it is to truly listen to people and how different it feels when people truly listen to me. Thank you for sharing. This video really helped to realize how important it is to be engaged daily in my life.

Thank you Tony for all the inspirational videos . I am so..... motivated, and very excited to watch more videos.

What a challenge to understand that even after having your purse stolen, the moment is a gift! In theory it sounds possible but how many of us what stop to consider that? Remaining positive about the experience and understanding that your journey (of life) is taking a new direction must be the focus point of remaining in a positive frame of mind however staying in the moment would be too difficult as you would have to plan for what lays ahead.

Very good advice however I realise it will take a lot of repitition to train my immediate circle as they are used to putting demands on my time whenever they feel like it. I wish I'd known about this earlier as I can see immediately how much easier life would be without the constant interruptions.

That is great advise, I never would have guessed that reducing and eliminating distractions would be the best thing to do for your business. I also took note of the 3 big money making activities Product Creation, Building Relationships and Marketing. As always great advice Eban!

Dear Greg, and all Speakers, You Are Amazing, Magnificent People Of The Higher Planes...Working In GOD'S PURPOSE... In Conjuntion With YOUR HIGHERSELVES TO Help The WORLD To CHANGE TO LIGTH AND PEACE... MANY BLESSINGS TO ALL...THANK YOU EACH AND EVERYONE FOR YOUR GREAT CONTRIBUTION... Maria

Yes. We're there. Is there room in your business plan for a new branch? How's this: MINDVALLEY FINE ART Stretch a bit...imagine it... Everyone is an Artist... there is an infinite amount of creative force in everyone... 'painting in the now' shows you your CREATIVE POTENTIAL! Can we do this together? Gary

This presentation is beyond words, the feeling you get as you listen to Barbara's message is an actual physical feeling as if you were her!!! Extraordinary!!!!!!

Thanks Barbara, You comfirm my feeling, vision, thoughts & knowing too... Blessings be.

The 3 powerful shifts are wonderful. When I wached the video I feel Powerful listening her. Thank you.

Thanks Barbara, You are a powerful speaker,your words of widsom,vision as I watched the video I thank God for people like you.Your presentation was amazing & I feel so inspired! God Bless Cathy

From My Heart, Thank You truly, I agree, something IS happening, you look at people, flip through a magazine, there is a difference emanating form people - there is a Oneness energy much moreso, there is a clarity... We ride the waves with gratitude and openness for Divinity to clear the garbage we've trailed, as things are happening underneath in the clear depths of grace on this dear planet Earth. Something Big is happening in our Universe, lets be open, open, open. Thank You, Laara

This was actually the first time after all these years of reading about Barbara and enjoying her angel products, that I actually could see her and hear her voice. I was struck by the fact that she isn't someone way above me but an 'ordinary' beautiful strong woman, somone I could easily be and probably am! This thought gives credence to her claims that we are already making a difference through our high vibrations. And I knew that, but it was wonderful to hear her clear strong voice asserting it. What got me thinking was her question: What kind of difference am I making? Here I found her breaking down of the Great Shift into three kinds of shift very illuminating. And I am still exploring how these can be applied in my life. Very meaningful and helpful at this time. I am most grateful to her and to you Greg for sharing this information in this way.

a video who share LOVE all over the world/ welcome in our life with More messages like this, Babara.

wow, wow, wow, what a complete blessing barbara de angelis is to this world!!! that talk is just so inspiring and enriching! and its truly sublime to hear someone speak with such incredible HEART and PASSION and true care for the greater good, as well as immense respect and vision for all the parts ie each one of us..... MORE PLEASE!!!! with immense gratitude and humilty..... devi

Thank you so much for an uplifting moment this morning listening to your presentation and helping me remember what I already know.

Dear Barbara -- What a blessing you are! I am so grateful that you are my teacher. Thank you for this powerful presentation -- recognize, remember and return -- I will be carrying those three words with me today. I am honored to be working with you at such a deep level and seeing the fruits of this "great shift" happening within me! With so much love, Raven And Greg, thank you so much for your vision and for pulling this event together and making these video excerpts available!

Wow a very powerful and uplifting presentation by Barbara. I'm so thankful these videos are being shared. I 100% believe in these three shifts, having completed the first and working through the second. Outstanding!

@Gary Our artists are those to be the most revered. It is a brave spirit who shows their divinity to the world, by the painted and scribed sublimation of their heart.

When is the time in life characterized by the greatest openness to learning.? Thats where you need to use your influence. If schools won't let you in. Start your own. What if Juliard had never happened? God bless you and thank you.

This is an outstanding, heartfelt presentation. Thank you Barbara, for your strength and willingness to stand in your power, modeling that for all of us!

This was so powerful, I actually transcribed it! I will share it as I feel it was for me on many levels, like I was there! A reminder from beyond to step up, be, do, share, and love! To actually trust that even when I don't feel it fully, I am truly making a difference with whomever I touch. The shifts are truly here, now, and each one of us has a piece that is uniquely, flawlessly, ours. I had a very powerful awakening a number of years ago and subsequently some overwhelming opposition... The current transitions in my life warrent the timeliness of your gift to life! What a grand adventure this is! Thanks so much for your blessing, prayers and call to 'return' Barbara! It's an honor! I See You! Namaste'

Wow! What a powerful message, I can feel that a great shift is coming to our whole planet. I think that we are all going to become aware of infinite abilities and become more conscious human beings. I was very inspired watching this video, I can't even imagine what it would have been like to be there live.

This was absolutely fantastic message. Looking at the bigger picture. I am sure the whole planet can see the shift is starting to happen. Wonderful that we all can be transformed to what is authentic and real beings. Very heart felt message. Thank you Engage and Barbara. Just absolutely awesome. Please keep up all the good work. Many blessings

Thank you all for providing clarity to the meaning of engagement. It is so true that you are either engrossed in a conversation or completely switched off by it. A lot of valuable time could be saved by making a mental decision early whether the conversation is mutually beneficial or not. Greg makes a very valuable point that if you look for what is meaningful to the other person, and if they feel listened to it is far more of a committment to the other person than just a passing interest (as Garret further clarified). And I love Barbara's idea that everyday is an opportunity to practice magic. So often I have seen people looking lost within conversations and that is where being present in every moment is crucial (thanks Janet). Great interview. Thank you Greg.

Happy in the now with grand visions of the future....I absolutely love that line! Brilliant

Hi Greg and Kourosh, What you guys are doing by sharing these videos is truly amazing. I am finding myself fixated to the screen, listening intently to what these great leaders have to say. I think you guys may have started a revolutionary change towards a greater good in this world. I certainly have noticed my mindset change just in these past days by watching these videos. It can only create a ripple effect. Thanks Michael Boni

Thanks for sharing this awesome videos. All I have to say is WOW~

Excellent ethos and so in line with what I believe and how I do business! Thank you for articulating this so clearly.

Vishen, I really are in agreement with your ideas. 2 Years ago I semiretired from a consultant job with a marvelous boss who basically catered to my ideas. I was 17 years there and loved every minute of it. At 70 I felt stifled by the Job and fell into the next thing that really excited me, guess what 2-3 month later I got paid for two of my hobbies, Hiking and photography. When you are in Love with what you do everything just falls into place. Thanks Olga

"Happy in the now with grand visions of the future".... Yes! .. I agree too, nice line! .. Awesome video! Left speechless again! Thank you!

The message, that gratitude has an enormous impact on happiness, is a deeply spiritual insight!

"Daily Gratitude" Vishen Lakhiani summed it up with those two words and that is the key to a truly fulfilling and joyous life. :)

Thank you so much Barbara for remembering us we are here on a mission. We, most of the time, get cought in the routine and we forgot we are here for a higher purpose. God bless you.

Excellent. Thanks.

wow, superb info, thank u! and a clear living example of how the inner world creates the outer world. we need more people like you on this planet... i'm doing my best to manifest that vision. blessings galore:: DEVI

Your speech was incredibly inpriring! It's really true! I at first started of half-hearted promoting an affiliate offer in a niche I hated and draged it incredibly out. Then I started to promote something I am passionate about - and suddenly writting about it is EASY! Follow your bliss and the rest will follow magically. Thanks Vishen for reminding me to keep focussed!

Only the recent birth of my daughter could have kept me from this incredible event. Now through the these video's I begin to experience what I missed. Thank you Greg and Kourosh for making this happen for us to share. Oh yes I will buy the 2009 Package when it is available and yes I am coming in 2010. See you there!

All I can say is wow......i'm speechless. My mind has just been opened up to what is truly possible in this world. Thank you for this wonderful information.

Speechless is what I am right now, Fantastic information! I have a lot to think about over the coming days. Will I be able to concentrate on my work I wonder....

Dear Greg and Kourosh, I'm the only one from Finland with you there in Calgary. Thank you very much for the seminar and this engageblog! I'm very happy to share what I experienced with you to anyone who wants to know and these videos make my sharing much, much easier. I'm also very happy to meet you again and get sure I understood right what you all were there to teach us. I want also give my special thanks to Brendon Burchard, who assured my husband that this is/was the event where I should come. Thanks to all of you! I miss you! Aini

I appreciate listening to someone like Vishen who in such a short period of time truly shares nuggets of wisdom so succinctly. He's clear, direct and the message is perfect - as an HR leader, I am compelled to lead my companies to higher performance and employee satisfaction, and it's this type of info which I find far more valuable than the tomes written about process, etc. IT STARTS IN THE MIND. IT'S ABOUT FLOW .. not the perfect process. Thank you. Great wisdom in easy soundbites. Very digestible!!

Yeah .... Speechless is what I am too! Absolutely amazing! Can't wait for the DVDs Thank you to everyone who contributed to this!

Excellent, excellent, excellent. Bravo Vishen.

Thanks for the video. I'm really grateful for this event. Too bad I didn't know about this event. I live in Calgary, AB and only if I had known, I would have gone. Hopefully I could come to the next event for 2010. You've blessed a lot of people. Keep it up. The best is yet to come! Keep shining!

Thank you Greg and Kourosh, Barbara's speech was very moving and the Dalai Lama was an inspiration. What a line up of outstanding visionaries! I'm already in gratitude mode just by listening to a few of your inspirational speakers. Phenomenal! Thank you for allowing us access to the venue and what a way to kick star the New Year.

i am a one-year old entrepreneur and these are the most exciting and inspiring videos i have seen in this one year! thank you, thank you, thank you. what a great way to begin the new year. i feel right on purpose to have stumbled across this material. i feel renewed and inspired and intend to be on your stage telling my story and motivating others one day soon :-). keep up the good work. thank you again! much love to you all.

Thank You, Wow, this was truly amazing! Barbara's speech was so warm & loving. The Dalai Lama is a true blessing to our world. I'm so blessed to be able to listen to all the speakers, they have such great visions. Also thank you for allowing me access. God bless Cathy

Awesome! Thanks you so much for sharing these videos. They really touch my core being and will be an inspiration as I move forward in my life this year.

Fantastic, moving, wow .... I would so loved to have been there ... can I attend in 2010? Thank you, you're all so wonderful!

Currently this event is not something I would even be able to attempt to attend for a host of reasons: some including: anxiety, panic, agoraphobia with many social phobias, PTSD; lack of financial backing and the list goes on. Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart for making these excerpts available on-line. I can play and re-play each one over and over to fully comprehend what each was saying. I'm inspired and making progress in overcoming some of my hurdles. My hope, dream and commitment is that in the not too distant future I will not only attend such an event, I want to tell my story. Thank you!!
