The AGC Experience podcast features our AGC Talks speakers sharing their message in an audio podcast that you can listen to from anywhere. Listen in to our recent AGC Talks featured guest.  Listen as Savannah Taylor & Amanda Maurice shares Two Unexpected Keys to Lasting Positive Change a motivational talk with AGC. The two unexpected keys to lasting positive change are self-acceptance and radical self-responsibility. Self-acceptance leads to worthiness and worthiness leads to aligned action towards your goals and desires. Radical Self-Responsibility is about stepping into your discernment so you are able to own what's yours and draw boundaries around what isn't. This is the courageous and necessary step out of victimhood. When you're playing the victim, you give your power away. You give external circumstances or people the authority while you sit as a passenger in your own life, which keeps you stuck in the same cycles. When you are able to master both of these, ease, growth, and true fulfillment become constant companions. The next level of stepping into your potential is embracing your wild. This is to own and celebrate all parts of you, which allow you to own what you bring to the table and makes you a magnet for your dreams and desires.  Learning Objectives: Self Acceptance leads to worthiness, worthiness leads to aligned action towards your goals and desires Radical Self-Responsibility is stepping into discernment so you are able to own what's yours and draw boundaries around what isn't. Lasting positive change requires you to evolve into the future version of you that owns your worthiness and potential.  Speaker Bio: Savannah Taylor and Amanda Maurice are the co-founders of Embrace Your Wild. They are on a mission to create the most impactful women's empowerment movement of their generation through The Sisterhood Community, delivering deep transformational coaching and tender support. They empower female visionary leaders to step into radical self acceptance so they can claim sovereignty, cultivate more impact, more wealth and live a life of aligned purpose through a unique methodology that integrates embodiment, sensuality, & spirituality.  AGC Accelerated Global Connections is a business networking organization that helps connect business professionals globally through in person networking, motivational talks, and online social profiles.

Originally wanting to pursue either sex/family/marriage therapy as a career, she decided she couldn't seem to fit into societal' s ideas of what it meant to fit into these limited roles (in her eyes). She always felt there were pieces missing in traditional therapy settings so she sought out for a truth that was more aligned with her vision -- a more holistic approach to well-being. Leading by example with her daughter, now 7 and watching her every move, she is passionate about empowering others by implanting the beliefs that we are each limitless and can create whatever our hearts desire... with the proper tools and action/support. AGC Accelerated Global Connections is a business networking organization that helps connect business professionals globally through in person networking, motivational talks, and online social profiles.
