Who would have thought that in a year alone I will be able to meet and share conversations with some of the world’s best, brightest and most inspiring minds? As a life-long learner, my list of “teachers” and “mentors” whom I would like to learn from never ends, and I’ve met 11 in 2010 – imagine! My cup just runs over and for these blessings I am truly grateful.

Take a few minutes to meditate on some of their most powerful quotes and I am sure you will be inspired as I am. And please do click on their names to check in to their websites or previous blog entries and interviews I had with them.

1. Dr. Wayne Dyer - internationally renowned author and speaker who taught me how to harness the power of intention. http://waynedyer.com/

“A mind at peace, a mind centered and not focused on harming others, is stronger than any physical force in the universe.”

2. Brian Tracy - a renowned teacher on how to achieve our success goals faster.  http://www.briantracy.com

“All successful people men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose.”

3. Barbara de Angelis – a great speaker on the field of personal relationships and personal growth. http://www.barbaradeangelis.com/

“Today’s issues are daunting. People feel helpless. And yet the solutions are there. What we need is hope, connection and action. Together we have the power to co-create a sustainable, healthy, and safe world. Women can change the world.”

Indeed the right circumstances and the right people will show up at the right time, but only if one will take action. There she was – though busy with the big event of her husband, Jack Canfield, I pushed myself to grab a moment with her.

Inga Canfield, a kind and gentle woman gave me her time to talk about the movie-documentary “The Heart to Lead: Women as Allies for the Greater Good” which premiered at the 2010 UN Commission on the Status of Women Conference and at the Breakthrough to Success Seminar of Jack Canfield in Arizona, USA in which I was attending. She played a role in the movie, as herself, pouring her heart out on how women can create, contribute and take part in making the world a better place.

The Heart To Lead is a documentary film that explores the significant role women are meant to play in the evolution of culture. Through intimate narratives by women on the journey to self-discovery, The Heart to Lead explores the emerging paradigm of feminine leadership. Women have a built-in homing device to return to who they deeply are and to where they belong. The film shows women attuning to their strengths and connecting with one another, as catalysts for developing personal and social action. Therefore, a tapestry of women are featured, and taken as a collective they express a colorful profile of those in unison, guiding and serving.

Talking to Inga, I instantly felt a connection. We both appreciate the excellent message of this film – that there is a need for women to come together, get into conversations, exchange thoughts, and strengthen each other in becoming better persons and better members of the community – collectively addressing and resolving issues that affect women and the future of our children. Here’s my interview with her, along with a sneak preview of the film:

As soon as she returned home she took a quick action to connect me to the producer of The Heart to Lead. I am now in contact with Bonnie Kelley one of the directors of the movie. We are brainstorming on how we can collaborate to spread and share the message of the move during my world travel and most especially in my home countries Philippines and Canada.
