Do you ever look at someone living a dream job and think, "I wish I had the guts to do something like that"? You notice people in these dream jobs and think they don't seem particularly intelligent or talented. Deep down, you know if you try it's possible to land a dream job. You're not happy in your current profession and you've always wanted to change, but you've probably made excuses to avoid the scary part change. That's really the crux of what makes us gaping the nine to five hard. It's fear of the unknown fear of change. Fear of failure. Join host Steve Oehley as he talks to Cam Calkoen about embracing fear. >> OUR GUEST THIS EPISODE: Cam Calkoen is an inspirational speaker, born with cerebral palsy. Instead of worrying about the way he walked and the way he talked, Cam turned these perceived weaknesses into his biggest strengths, becoming an athletic gold medalist and an inspirational speaker. IG: @camcalkoen >> WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: Why to never let yourself become comfortable in your job. Why you should always do something that scares you, each and every day. How to avoid a life of regret. >> JOIN OUR COMMUNITY: https://www.facebook.com/groups/escapetheninetofivepod >> TAKE HOME CHALLENGE: FEAR SETTING Based off Tim Ferriss' book, the Four Hour Workweek, write down your fears, not your goals. Define your nightmare, the absolute worst thing that would happen if you did what you were considering doing. Envisage this and painstaking detail. Would it be the end of your life? How likely do you think this would actually happen? What steps could you take to repair the damage? If the worst case scenario happened, chances are it's easier than you'd imagine. What are the outcomes or benefits both temporary and permanent of more probable scenarios. Now that you've defined your worst nightmare. What are the more likely outcomes? How likely is it that you could produce even a moderately good outcome? If you were fired from your job today, what would you do to keep your finances under control? Or if you quit your job, how hard would it be to go back to your old job or a similar one, if you really had to? What are you putting off out of fear? Usually what we most fear doing is what we most need to do. As Tim Ferriss' says a person's success in life can usually be measured by the number of uncomfortable conversations he or she is willing to have. What is it costing you financially, emotionally, physically to postpone action. Don't just measure the downside of action, measure the downside of inaction. If you don't do what excites you, where will you be in one, five or ten years. The cost of inaction is the greatest risk of all. You don't want to be one of those people living a life of regret. What are you waiting for? Measure the cost of inaction, realize the downsides of change are unlikely, and fixable, and develop the most important habit of all - ACTION. Podcast genre: career change, career transition, work life balance, great resignation. Podcast also known as: escape the 9 to 5
Cam Calkoen was born with cerebral palsy. 20 years ago the only thing that made him happy was watching the TV show "Havoc and Newsboy." Cams mum wrote a letter to Newsboy (Jeremy Wells) and he replied. Cam STILL has that letter pinned to his wall.
Cam Calkoen was born with Cerbral palsy. This has made everything he has achieved that much more difficult than those of us born without the condition. Even though he has done thousands of hours of public speaking, in this moment from our conversation he shares, for the first time ever, the lowest point of his life where he made a spontaneous decision to try and end it all. It's raw. It's vulnerable. It's not pretty. But its 100% honest and unfiltered. Warts and all. Cam is an inspirational individual. If you like this, please listen to our full conversation. Or recommend it to a friend. Thanks, Dom

IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL DISCOVER:ResiliencePerspectiveReimaginingABOUT CAM CALKOEN:Many motivational speakers have become so because of a life changing event - lost limbs in accidents, reformed drug addicts, been in a gang and/or prison, or hurt as a child. This inspires them to become change agents through motivational speaking. Given that Cam was born with CP his life has been "normal' for him since birth & his life would have carried on in whatever direction he chose to take it. The fact that he chose to extend himself-way out of his comfort zone and have done the two things doctors said he would never be able to do, and to a very high level (running & speaking ) means the message Cam delivers is very powerful and unique.Cam inspires people to believe things are possible way beyond their thinking.CONNECT WITH CAM CALKOEN:See Cam’s website www.camcalkoen.comConnect on Linkedin www.linkedin.com/in/camcalkoen Instagram www.instagram.com/camcalkoenor Facebook www.facebook.com/camcalkoen

One of my favorites, Cam Calkoen returns to the podcast to chat inspiration, motivation, dreaming big, being hopeful, and dealing with adversity. We recorded this prior to lockdown, but the messages are ones that we all need to hear at the moment.
If you saw him walking down the street you’d never guess his story. Cam Calkoen is a world class, international sprinting champion. It also happens that he has cerebral palsy. After winning multiple international championships, Cam decided to hang up the running shoes and become an inspirational speaker. In his own words, both of these […] The post NZ Young Professionals Podcast 27: Cam Calkoen – How to get into the right mindset, even when the chips are down appeared first on Podcasts NZ - top podcasts: Tech, Business, Investment.
When Cam Calkoen was born with cerebral palsy, his parents were told that he may never walk again, let alone talk, or live a normal life, But Cam has never let that hold him back. In fact, when someone says something is a ‘possibility’ Cam sees it as an ‘opportunity’ and the only reason for one to miss out is by not being competitive enough. Competition comes in many forms but Cam believes that our biggest competitor is the one looking back at us in the mirror. Cam has gone from doubting his ability to run, to representing New Zealand in athletics, winning championships in New Zealand, Australia and Canada, and now taking his winning attitude into diverse environments that encourage others to achieve their personal best. From projects that enhance relations amongst people of the world through to continually pushing through personal, physical and emotional barriers Cam ensures each day is lived to the max! Cams philosophies, values and dynamic vision has led to him to working in Japan, building a Tuberculosis Ward and School Library in Vanuatu, speaking as far as New York and London and regularly having his leadership recognized in the form of awards and scholarships. In 2006 Cam became one of the youngest recipient’s worldwide to receive a Paul Harris Fellow from Rotary. As a 21 year old this prestigious award (which he has since received twice) recognised the significant contribution he had made in turning a communities dream (the Yes Disability Resource Centre) into reality. As the Ambassador Cam was the figurehead to a NZ$4 million project and learnt what it took to make a dream into reality. During this time he saw the potential in linking his ever-growing network together with young disabled people so they to could develop tools and processes to realise their dreams, from this Cam founded the Carabiner Mentoring program. Through the journey to make it into the top ten in the world for his sport Cam started to see the world as his playground and exited near the peak of his running career. Wanting to leave a much bigger impact on the world he didn’t want to compete in an environment governed by the abilities of his Cerebral Palsy but determined by the abilities of himself as a human being where he could encourage more people into their top ten, the top ten of their business, job, sport or school, the top ten percent of who they can be through striving toward a personal best. Today Cam inspires people with universal backgrounds to dream big, because with big dreams comes a big life. With over ten years experience in fundraising, social entrepreneurship and inspiring the motivation of others Cam has packaged himself into a unique brand for those looking to create a lasting impact. Cam doesn’t hide from the fact that he is still on a journey and his Everest is yet to be conquered. But perhaps it is his uniqueness as a speaker to be sharing an awesome journey in the pursuit of an awesome outcome that sees audiences connect with his message and absorb an energy that inspires them to dream big to achieve more. Some key quotes from our conversation include: I had the best childhood. I wouldn't change anything (6:42) I was aware that I didn't want to be left out ( 7:02) Because I was different, it was MY responsibility, no one else's responsibility to build connection and rapport (7:06) From a very young age, I was a dreamer (7:55) I saw a world, where from a really young age, I wanted to contribute to it in the most awesome way (8:06) Instead of seeing it as an impediment, I saw it as an accent (9:18) If that's how my dictionary sees me, then how does society see me? (11:43) It led to a real low low point in my life (12:11) If you are different in any way, you need to embrace every opportunity that you are to showcase who you are, and what you have to offer this world (15:19) It's recognising that difference really can be a good thing (17:43) Having that ability and strength to dream is really important (18:25) One of the biggest challenges is managing the way that I operate, but at the same time having the confidence that what I have done in the last 34 years has worked pretty well (20:33) Believe in the power of your dreams! (23:53) You've got to keep educating yourself (27:47) Expanding that mindset is one of the most rewarding things you could ever do (32:25) We can look at things from so many different perspectives, and we just need to make one of those perspectives work for us (33:15) You can find more of Cam at: Website: https://www.camcalkoen.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CamCalkoenInspirationalSpeaker/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/camcalkoen __________________________ You can find more of Kirsty at: Website: http://kirstysalisbury.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kirstysalisb...

I'm joined today by Cam Calkoen. Cam is very inspiring guy who is no stranger to getting uncomfortable. Cam was born with Cerebral Palsy and told his biggest challenges would be the way he walked and talked. Cam didn't buy in to this story and became a professional runner and a professional speaker. As a 19 year old he raised NZ$4 million to build a community resource centre and at 22 established the carabiner mentoring program. These are a few of Cam's achievements, but they're just the end product of one of his life philosophies of doing. Today Cam and I chat about, + the importance of connection with other people, + the role that social media can play in this if we use it wisely, + the importance of empathy, + dealing with the inner voice, the necessity of preparation, + finding his Everest, + why we should think about what we want to do not what we want to be, + and of course getting uncomfortable Support the show: Learn how to make simple yet professional videos with the lads from howtomakesimplevideos.com.
