Women as Global Leaders conference - Dubai, U.A.E. March 10 - 12, 2008

I am on my way back from Dubai where I entertained at the Women as Global Leaders conference. The event was a fantastic extravaganza that can only be described as magical. His Excellency Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak Al Nahayan is the mastermind behind this remarkable event and I commend him being a visionary and a forward thinker. Royalty and many world dignitaries were in attendance, including Helen Thomas, first lady of the press at the White House, Don Johnson, star of Miami Vice, Carol Bellamy, Unicef, Mary Sue Coleman, Dr. Hubertus Hoffmann, world security foundation among many others. I followed an address by Sarah Ferguson and Jane Fonda. My presentation was so successful, I was asked to do a 'by popular demand' performance the same night following the most extravagant dinner. I did all different material and was given more time on stage. My show followed a spectacular video and laser light presentation that delivered a message of leadership and peace. In fact everyone in the audience received a rosary of peace made from real pearls. I delivered my message of positive thinking, lift any limitations, because there are none - you can do anything, just dare to succeed.
Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York stayed next door to me. One afternoon she was working on the balcony. I couldn't take pictures. It didn't feel right. She's got photographers in her face all the time. I thought it would be extremely rude of me. She seemed to be writing postcards and text messaging on 3 different phones. I got the taste of the paparazzi for the last few days. Pictures of me were being taken every few seconds and I am not even that big of a celebrity. I got a chance to say hello to Sara Ferguson and looked into her eyes. Eyes always tell the story of a person's life. Hers related a story of a trooper who endured a lot and persevered. I admire her strength and ability to deliver a positive message despite all a life throws her way, while being a strong role model.
The second evening of the conference we were treated to an event in the Sahara desert that told a story of an arabian king and his sons battling evil forces with holograms, dancers, light and laser show. It was preceded by a traditional dinner in the tents that I can only describe as a once-in-a lifetime experience. It was like visiting an oasis mirage in ancient middle east down to hand crafted carpets on the sand and sitting on pillows with the sheikh's hospitality. I was part of this entourage invited to sit close to the man highly admired.
I hope this is not my last adventure of this kind and look forward to returning to the land of such unprecedented warm hospitality in the very near future. I made many fabulous friends and hope my message of positive thinking guides them to unprecedented success on the global arena.

I am on MAURY June 14, 2007

The Maury Povich phobias show I taped earlier this year airs JUNE 14.
It is syndicated - look for it in your TV listings.
The title is:
Can You Save Me? I Am Terrified of Cotton Balls and Frogs!
I help people overcome their fears with the use of hypnosis.

JR Digs Latenight Talk Show or something like that

Last week I taped an episode of JR Digs' talk show.

I am told it airs May 19 on CH TV and Global TV networks throughout Canada.

It is an unusual talk show with a host, JR Digs, whose boundless energy carries the storyline, which is created live on the spot.

Jr Digs has surrounded himself with characters that if met separately could terrify and amaze - biker playing guitar, always-smiling happy man, motormouth brit, choose-their-words-carefully storyteller, lady with huge hair and many others. I found them all delightful and intriguing. I found some overbearing, while others subdued, but all the nicest people you may ever encounter. The best way I can describe them is that each was a character, that if written on a page of a book would be difficult to believe, yet all were alive, vibrant people whose personalities shined.

JR Digs is a character himself, who cares deeply about the final product, has quick wit and will do anything to have his audience thoroughly entertained. The name of the show describes the sentiment of canadian television, which is regularly underfunded, having to produce quality content under extreme financial constraints.

I loved the show and being a part of it. The best way I can describe it is it is a mixture of Letterman, Howard Stern and Tom Green. Now you just have to watch.

Hope the boys are kind in editing.

Maury - Fear and Phobia Show

I am sitting at the airport once again. This time I am at Laguardia in New York. I am coming back home after filming an hour of the Maury show. The theme is the hugely popular 'fears and phobias', where people face their fears and then get help. I am the hypnotist that helps people overcome their fears. No idea when it airs, but look for it out shortly. The stories of the people were very compelling. I had a great time and got a chance to help people with their problems.

The weather was amazing and I enjoyed strolling through Times Square at night with a milkshake in hand. The taping finished early enough for me to go to the theatre and see Hairspray, which was absolutely delightful.

I have found a new favorite New York restaurant - China Grill, where all the food is meant to be shared and tastes out of this world.

Travel update

The show was a blast. Thanks to the staff and cre at Power City Electric and northen Quest casino for a fun experience.
This is Sunday. My day has started early with the first flight leaving at 5:35 local time. Nothing out of the ordinary so far. At security, I had to take my shoes off, xrayed the laptop and had a very pleasant lady look through my carry on suitcase.
As I write this - am in Seattle just as they are boarding United flight 821 to San Francisco. The captain introduced himself by coming out to the terminal, picked up the microphone with the following words: "I am your captain and I would like to introduce myself as this is my very first flight.....today. Now that I got your attention, I want you to know that I take your security very seriously and to expect a smooth ride. We will be arriving a few minutes early so you will have a little extra time to make your connections." I paraphrase of course, but it was refreshing to hear someone starting out a day with a smile - a sure sign of enjoyment of what they do. I was given a card on the way in. We are flying a Boeing 757-200.
The reason I am heading to San Francisco is that it is beginning of March, start of spring break, and all the flights on this itinerary were full.
The captain told us to listen to channel 9 if we are aviation enthusiasts, but ground control renumberd our flight to 8135. I thought I must be an enthusiast so I listened until we took off. Then I fell asleep. The seat next to me was empty again. Nobody to drool on.
I enjoyed mizo soup and tempura at Tomokazu at the San Francisco airport.. Then I had to switch terminals to catch my flight to Toronto via Air Canada. While waiting for the bus, I got a chance to stand outside in warm weather and sun. On the ride over got a glimpse of the Bay bridge in the distance.
The flight home was basically uneventful except the lady next to me was reading a book and listening to music at the same time, which struck me odd - not many people can do that.
Good to be home.

I made it

Well. I didn't actually make anything. - I simply arrived at my destination. It is almost 4 am back home and I just finished checking into my hotel room by the airport (I will be one of the first users of teleportation when they invent it).

I love my job. I get paid to travel, the shows are thrown in for free. I found a job that I am passionate about and. am willing to go to any part of the world to do it. Why? Because I take pride in what I do and in the end, the smile is on YOUR face. When I look into the audience, and see the spark in your eyes, that tells me that you forgot all of your troubles at that moment....and I helped you do it.

If you stumbled in here not knowing a thing about me, check out the videos on my site. You will see the passion that drives me and why it is so much fun - I get a chance to entertain and introduce people to the wonderful powers of the mind.

Windy City, Casinos, sandwiches and phones

Lots of people eating bad food while they travel....that's why they call it windy city (ok....just an attempt at humor not my regular sense though I am tired)
I actually got a great sandwich. Having travelled all day, I did not really get a chance to eat much, so I got a delicious ruben sandwich at the Chicago airport deli called Berghoff Cafe outside gate C26. The meat was cooked just right with the juices flowing into the bread that hit just the right spot.
Across the way a crowd just cheered as if their favorite player scored a goal. But it was a gate agent announcing a flight that was getting ready to board.
Just making an observation - cell phone companies must love bad weather, judging by the multitudes of people talking to their loved ones and making sure their hotel reservations are being kept.
My flight is waiting for pilots and flight attendants. Once they get here we should be on our way. Looks like I may still get to my destination (next direct flight to Spokane, WA is at 5 PM tomorrow).
My attitude is always never to dispair and keep a positive attitude. I live what I believe. It keeps me sane and ready for any other challenge that presents itself.
Gotta run.....my flight is boarding. It may have been a long day, but I will forget all about it when I step on stage at Northern Quest Casino. And not one person that night will know what it takes to be a traveller.
.......Talking about casino shows. Last week I performed at the Treasure Island Casino in MN. The show was SOLD OUT (1000 seats). I loved every second and look forward to a return date at the Indigo Bay showroom, a top knotch facility with great audiences and run by the nicest people.
