He's not a professional comic but laughter comes easy for David Thomas. It's actually one field that he hasn't tried professionally, but would love to some day. Thomas is a Global Professional Speaker and a CEO Presentation Skills Coach. In case you haven't heard about his crazy memory abilities, he's also an International Grandmaster of Memory, broken Guinness record for reciting Pi to 22,500 digits, became US Memory Champion and so much more. From the age of 4, David recalls the nightly sexual abuse he suffered from his alcoholic mother, Gillian and then the years of physical abuse from his step-father. David had a younger brother to protect, so he kept this secret to himself to be certain that his younger brother would not be exposed to any of it.Unfortunately, David's mother died in her early 50's, almost 21 years since the time of this recording. She died at a young age due to an alcohol induced heart attack. David was happy that he had put his neglect behind him in order to move forward prior to his mother's death. They had rekindled their relationship. As if the abuse wasn't enough, David also attempted suicide twice, but was not successful. When asked if this was life changing or a sign that he was meant to live a long life, his response was, "no, not at all, it meant that I was just terrible at trying to kill myself." Again, gallows humor, but it's easy for him to make light looking back so many years later.David wanted to help others who had suffered abuse under the hand of loved ones, so he wrote what turned out to be a #1 bestselling book in the UK, "Tell Me Why Mummy"- An inspirational true story of one man overcoming enormous odds including sexual abuse from his alcoholic mother to choose his own path in life and become and become a truly exceptional human being.Thomas says "you only have 3 choices in life as far as moving on after an abusive, challenging upbringing-You carry on living with your problems, but it will eventually take you down.You remove itOr you manage it"Therapy and researching and writing his book help free himself from the horrors of his childhood.Website: https://www.themotivationspeaker.com/david-thomasWebsite: https://www.creatingpresentationrockstars.com/ppl-homepage "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers and the roles they play in our lives. And my guests answer the question, 'are you who you are today because of, or in spite of, your mother'?

Quote: “My mission is to show leaders how to be amazing when they present. How to get their message across and transform the world in which we live.” David Thomas How do you feel when you're speaking in front of an audience, a group of co-workers, or employees? Do you think you're nailing it every time, or would you like your message to land better? We're not all natural-born speakers or communicators, but most of us do have the capacity to improve. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we're excited to welcome David Thomas to share his ideas on helping executives become fantastic speakers and how it affects the ROR: Return On Relationships. This was such a great interview packed with so much inspirational information that we decided to turn it into a 2-part series. Here's the link to Part 1: https://roxannederhodge.com/presentation-rockstars-and-the-ror-with-david-thomas/ David is a global speaker and CEO presentation skills coach who has coached and spoken to more than 500,000 people in 60 countries over the last 25 years. As the phrase goes, he's been around a bit. He's also a Sunday Times #1 bestselling author whose books have had a worldwide readership of more than 1 million people, as well as the US Memory Champion, Guinness record breaker and competitive bodybuilder. Because you can't get on stage too often wearing nothing but skimpy undercrackers and 10 gallons of fake tan. He's an all-around Yorkshire legend! Authentic Touch Points: False positive feedback. 3:00 The formula. 8:00 Important speaking only. 11:00 Look down the barrel of the lens. 16:00 Their pain point. 18:00 ROR vs. ROI. 24:30 The greatest challenge. 26:00 Connect with David. 32:30 David has spent 25 years sitting and watching leaders die in front of audiences. That makes him feel sad for them, sad for their audiences and sad for the missed opportunity to inspire, educate and entertain. His mission is to show leaders how to be amazing when they present. How to get their message across and transform the world in which we live. How to smash every presentation and, dare I even say it, how to enjoy the experience of giving a great speech! In short, what he does is turn leaders into presentation rockstars! As I offer executive coaching, I encourage leaders to reach out for guidance about presenting their authentic selves to develop an improved workplace for everyone with less conflict.

Think some people are born with good memories? Think exponential gains in memory capacity, if even possible at all, would take years to develop?

Greetings, SuperFriends! Today we are joined by John Graham. John is the most recent US memory champion, having won in 2018, he is an international Grand Master of Memory, and he also is the international coach for the entire Vietnamese memory team. Amazing, right? As if those are not already enough, John has appeared on international TV shows in Russia, Indonesia, and the US - all showcasing his incredible trained memory. He has actually been able to memorize 181 names and faces in 15 minutes, a 282 digit number in 5 minutes, over 22 decks of cards in 1 hour, and many more things. You probably understand how crazy all that is! In this episode, we talked not just about memory techniques, because we've done a lot of episodes on them - instead, I wanted to go deeper with John and find out how he uses all this in his own life, how he makes it into a better quality of life, more success, more happiness, more joy, more connection to other people. I think we did a really good job covering that! Sometimes, you may think why would you ever need to memorize 181 names and faces in 15 minutes, and in this episode, we discover that it is about so much more than that. John and I share the opinion that memory is the gateway to all learning, which then is the gateway to self-improvement. Apart from all that, we also talked about a methodology that he developed for learning how to perform well under pressure, whether that is appearing on stage, competing in athletic events, or anything else. I really enjoyed this episode, and I'm sure you will do as well! - Jonathan Levi

Moonwalking with Einstein - by Josh Foer 'The art and science of remembering everything' We're using our memories less and less. We've outsourced our memory to technology and devices such as GPS systems, google and online notebooks. When a memory goes missing, such as someones name, it can be frustrating and futile and can come at some social cost. Moonwalking With Einstein tells Joshua Foer's journey from journalist to US Memory Champion in twelve months, and talks about different memory techniques and phenomena of the brain along the way.

I love entrepreneurs.Fitness led me to entrepreneurship. Now it's time to help other entrepreneurs find fitness.Why do business owners *really* need fitness? Sure, like the rest of us, they might need to lose a few pounds. And everyone knows that exercise relieves stress and improves focus.But entrepreneurship requires more than resilience and focus: it requires a fit BRAIN.One of my companies is IgniteGym. Our mission is to build cognitive fitness. These are the 10 elements of cognitive fitness: Memory Attention Motor Control Sensory Processing and Perception Organization, Planning and Logic Language Social, Emotional functioning Computation, calculation Motivation Creativity, imaginationALL of these are critical for entrepreneurs. And they're all enhanced by exercise. In fact, I'd argue they're the REAL purpose of exercise for business owners.But what KIND of exercise?In this episode, I discuss each of the 10 cognitive domains, and how to build them with different types of exercise. I share my personal regimen, and how I get business owners at the Two-Brain Workshop to build workouts into their day.Know a business owner? Share this episode with them.The first step is BDNF: Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor. This is what John Ratey called "Miracle-Gro for the brain" in his book, "Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain".What triggers BDNF? Aerobic exercise.In this episode, I talk about the necessity of developing BRAINpower for business owners. Then I tell you specifically WHAT to do; how I would build a perfect brain-training week for a business owner; and what I do every week to make me more effective at growing my businesses.If you're a gym owner, there are tips in this episode to help other entrepreneurs (and, let's face it: yourself.) If you own another business, this episode will tell you what to do; how long to do it; and where to find a coach (because you'll need one.)I refer to my podcast episodes with Ari Meisel of GetLeverage and Nelson Dellis, four-time US Memory Champion.I mention IgniteGym.com and Zecutive.com too. You'll find some sample workouts and challenges on the latter site.
Nelson Dellis is a 4x US Memory Champion and one of the leading memory experts in the world. In this episode we discuss: - The techniques Nelson and competitive memory athletes use to memorise everything from names and faces, to decks of cards - The importance of regular mental training for mental health - The life lessons Nelson has learned from mountain climbing So whether you’re a beginner looking to boost your memory or want to memorise huge quantities of information, this episode has you covered.
Nelson Dellis is one of the most interesting CrossFitters in the world.Nelson is a four-time US Memory Champion. I flew to Manhattan to watch him win his second in 2014 and wrote about the experience in the CrossFit Journal. He was introduced to CrossFit by a mutual friend in Miami, whose coaches were struggling to remember the names of the athletes in their large classes. He’s also attempted to summit Everest three times, dragging camera crews along with him more than once.He’s the founder of the Extreme Memory Tournament, the author of “I Forgot Something (But I Can’t Remember What It Was)” and the founder of Climb For Memory, a charity for Alzheimer’s Research.He’s been featured on Today, The Dr. Oz Show, Nightline and Saturday Night Live.“Client Experience” is one of our 7 Areas of Gym Excellence. When your coach remembers important things about you, your bond is reinforced. Nelson talks about paying attention, remembering details about your clients, and how to make both easier.Our UpCoach Challenge: Client Scavenger Hunt was a huge hit last month. Nelson’s most important lesson to me is this: make massive goals, go after them hard, and take the big lessons.
Nelson Dellis is the 2011 and 2012 US Memory Champion. He can memorize a 300 digit number in five minutes, the order of a deck of cards in less than a minute and, oh yeah, he climbed Mt. Evarest.
