7 Keys to Outperforming Yourself

Move from trial and error to proven strategies

When people think of outperforming themselves, they tend to focus on improving external, measurable results and miss the ease and elegance that comes from knowing precisely what inner tools and techniques to use and when. Worse, usually people who attempt to use inner mindset work are guided by only the vaguest of notions or limited approaches borrowed from pop psychology that don’t give an effective map to move from one performance level to another. This leaves people frustrated, ashamed, embarrassed, or feeling that there is something wrong with them when in fact they just used a limited understanding or limiting tools.

In this talk, your audience will learn:

• What it really takes to outperform yourself on a regular basis
• How to move away from vague notions and slogans to a real strategy
• How to re-inspire and re-motivate yourself

Reining In Overwhelm

Strategies to regain control and manage your attention

In the hectic culture we live in, where life just keeps speeding up and the market, political, and social structures we rely on are constantly changing, and we are forced to continually learn new information, more technology, and skills, staying clear about our priorities and adhering to what’s most important to us without getting distracted is becoming increasingly more challenging. Although we live in this fast-paced 21st century, our brains and inner operating systems haven’t fully adapted to the information explosion we’re facing, which means we often feel reactive and overwhelmed as a result.

Dr. Ilani uses her cutting-edge tool, The Pause Method®, to help your audience rein in overwhelm and feel calm, centered, and clear in the face of all this change.

In this talk, your audience will learn:

• Strategies to tackle tasks when you are in overload
• Tools to clear yourself on a regular basis to prevent overload
• Tools to stay on top of your tasks
• Understand the gateway to your inner resources and how to guard it

Embracing Diversity Effectively

A ground-breaking approach to embracing diversity

As our culture has changed its values, there is an increasing pressure and demand, both legally and otherwise, to be racially and culturally correct toward all diverse groups and minorities. However, the necessary means to change — both internally and externally — has not been provided. We even use punitive measures against those who outwardly express these prejudices without teaching them how to change. This pressure forces people to repress their now unacceptable notions deeper into their subconscious, which puts them paradoxically at greater risk for prejudicial behavior.

As a daughter of a Holocaust Survivor, Dr. Ilani understands that diversity challenges are not limited to stereotypical scenarios but rather affect people from all levels of educational, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds, and that traditional education is not the solution. The change must come from within.

In this talk, your audience will:

• Increase personal awareness of what prejudices and stereotypes one inherits from the culture, without having to disclose them to the group
• Replace culturally absorbed prejudices and stereotypes with new conscious choice
• Learn a proven, powerful tool to overcome personal and professional limits and limitations

Your Business/Career Can Only Grow As Much As You Do

How to instantly transform your business, career and life with uncanny precision and reliable results

We all have greater potential than we currently manifest. The standard approach to solving this problem is “mindset” work or belief change work, which only scratches the surface of what’s required for deeper, lasting change. Dr. Ilani teaches that we need to change both your “inner operating system”, which means working at a much deeper level, and your specific inner “programs” on a regular basis.

This is because as you shift to a new level, if you don’t reprogram your inner operating system, very much like upgrading your computer, you will experiences glitches in your reality and frustration as you hit your own unique inner glass ceiling. To make real, proactive change, it’s necessary for you to get ahead of the curve and learn the inner skills necessary to reprogram key inner aspects of yourself, including your image and beliefs, the obsolete survival rules and contracts you made at moments of intense experiences as a child, adolescent, or even later in life.

The bottom line is that what you don’t know can hurt or limit you and your business or career.

In this talk, your audience will learn:

• What personal growth actually means and how to master it
• How to move away from pop psychology and cultural slogans to real understanding you can use
• About the precise components of your inner operating system required to move your growth to the next level
• How to break through your personal barriers
• What it takes to free yourself from your inner shackles or those you may have adopted from your family or culture
