Philip McKiernan Lunch and Learn Talk

Philip-McKiernan

Philip McKiernan

Following our spring talk by Prof Robertson our summer lunch and learn was given by Philip McKernan, the well-known coach, speaker and author who gave a great talk fuelled with passion and meaning.

Philip, originally from Dublin has established himself as in demand speaker in North America and works around the world with individuals and companies. Last year he worked with the Canadian Olympic team in advance of the London games.

In his 1-hour lunch and learn talk Philip explained how we are conditioned to strive toward goals based on what our mind believes we “should” be doing, rather than following our intuition and thus living a happy and an authentic life.

During his talk Philip drove home his message about what he calls the “Authenticity Code” and how you can stop living in your head, and start living based on your intuition.

From an entrepreneurship and innovation point of view “intuition” may sound a bit ‘left brained’ however if business is about persuasion clearly an authentic blue print is a necessary business skill along with trust and integrity.

To prove the point a quick Google found that as recently June 15th 2013 at the Stanford Graduate School of Business John Donahoe, eBay CEO, told a group of degree candidates during the graduation ceremony, at the Frost Amphitheater. “For me, creating a life and career filled with impact and meaning is about leadership,”

John, who received his MBA from Stanford in 1986, encouraged his listeners to focus on “being an authentic, purpose-driven leader, to learning throughout your life, to building character during the tough times, and to having a career and a life that is fully enriching and rewarding.” Echoing exactly many of the messages that Philip gave during his talk.

As well as authenticity Philip teaches people to become more intuitive and not to rely on the mind, so people ‘know’ as opposed to ‘think’ they are on the right path. He has created a way of living called Soulset, which allows our lives to flow.
