TOL Scoops Oprah?!!
TOL, The Optimist Lens is now taping in Chicago, and we couldn't think of a better way to kick it off than to have interviewed Patricia Clason, The Everyday EQ Coach,as she and her coaching client Joel Katte prepared for an appearance on the Oprah show. Joel, an author and elementary school principal was interviewed by Oprah and told that he could bring just one person who had made a difference in his life, and guess who he chose? His life coach, Patricia! Well, being a friend and admirer of Patricia, we thought we'd get the story behind the story and what unfolds is interesting, uplifting, and a bit surprising! I'll keep you updated as to if and when the show with Jole and Patricia will be aired.
We're dedicated to making the world a better place by showing you that if you can see it happen, you can make it happen. If you know of a person that has "Made it Happen" in the Chicago area that you think TOL should interview, please us at info(@)theoptimistlens.com
Global Free Hugs Day April 26th
I'll be in Chicago with my friends from Positive Focus Chicago, hugging complete strangers. If you've not heard of this movement, it was started by Juan Mann in Sydney, Australia. (See Video) The main purpose is to give someone a connection to others. You may only hug two people, but that will change their day and those they come in contact with. The trickle effect is immense. And besides -- who doesn't need a hug?
When: April 26th, 1:00 – 3:00 pm your local time
Where: you decide location
Why: to spread love around the world
How: loving spirit, smiling face, and a sign saying "free hugs"
What do you need? You need a loving spirit, a smile that is inviting, and a sign that says "Free Hugs."
When should you hug? Due to varying time zones, let’s not hug at 3:00 am to match Chicago’s 1:00 pm time. Wherever you are located, when the clock strikes 1pm on April 26th, get out there and hug. Feel free to adjust your time to match our 1:00 CST, but only if you want to.
How to organize a local group of huggers? First of all, you don’t need to organize, go solo, go with a friend,church group, social group, family – it’s easy: a willing person and a free hug sign is all that is needed.
Check out our group of Biglife.ws coaches who are already doing preparing for it in cities around the globe.
If you'd like to join me in Chicago, shoot me an email and I'll put you on our list!
