Choose your Hard (...because in Life... it is all hard)

I heard a recent Jordan Peterson video where he expounded on the concept "Choose your Hard". This video has some of my reflections on the choice. Choosing hard today makes a difference. Not choosing hard is a choice... and it has consequences.

Hi, I’m Conor Neill, I speak and write about Persuasion, the art of Moving People to Action. I have the privilege of being father to two great little daughters. I live in Barcelona, Spain.

Conor is a sought-after keynote speaker on Leadership. He teaches Leadership Communications at IESE Business School and is the President of Vistage in Spain, part of the world’s leading CEO organisation. As an entrepreneur, he has founded 5 companies, selling 16 private jets and building the 3rd largest fleet of private jets in Spain. He is a visiting professor at University College Dublin, the University of Montevideo and Permanent Faculty on Entrepreneurs’ Organisation’s Global Leadership Academy.

What is Persuasion?
* What does it take to move people to action?
* What does it take to have impact when you communicate?
* How can I inspire the people around me to be the best version of themselves?
These are questions that I answer. I answer these questions with tools that work for politicians, business leaders, entrepreneurs and professors.

Where do I begin?

Speak as a Leader is an email driven course. You will learn to deliver speeches that are interesting and lively so that you can capture and maintain your audience’s attention.

Jeff Bezos once said-
" You can choose to live a life of comfort and ease or you can choose to live a life of adventure and service and think about when you are 80 years of age which one will you be proud of".
Loved the video Conor.

Appreciate your sharing. The levels of commitment is really helpful. It's up to me to check my commitment in a given area and reconcile it with my expectations and results. The seeds determine the fruit.
