• Not bound by a chain. It’s only a thread
  This topic is on how our preconceived notions control and limit us and hold us back from being our level best. In this topic, the speaker will touch upon self-talk and how we speak to ourselves; and how we can be our best coach, fan, and teacher instead of being a self-critic.  We all have a tendency to give more priority to fitting into crowds.  The discussion is on how we as humans can work on making our environments which are geared towards growing us rather than being in the limited environment we are born to. 
• Your Dream. Your action, your reality
  This topic talks about the practical application of theory and success stories to engrave the learning. Real world application is a main subtopic, which will cover on how individuals can setup Mastermind groups to keep us true to ourselves and the commitments we have made. Additionally, topics include: daily actions and habits we can embrace, the practice of using affirmations, visualizations, and use of visual boards.  A brief introduction to the law of attraction will also be covered to those who are interested to know about it.
• Living your dream
  As well as minor changes, there are a couple of major changes we need to execute when we transition from having medium-sized goals to bigger goals. The habits such as continuous learning commitments and investing in networking with similar minded people are key. Also, tracking progress and setting deadlines and teaching others are key focus areas.
