Featured EWLive14 Speaker: Danielle LaPorte

February 24, 2014 by Chantal Pierrat

Danielle LaPorte is the creator of The Desire Map: A Guide To Creating Goals With Soul, author of the bestseller, The Fire Starter Sessions (with Random House/Crown), co-creator of Your Big Beautiful Book Plan, and soon to be publisher of DANIELLE Magazine. An inspirational speaker, poet, former think tank exec and business strategist, she writes weekly at DanielleLaPorte.com, where over a million visitors have gone for her straight-up advice — a site that’s been deemed “the best place on line for kick-ass spirituality”, and was named one of the “Top 100 Websites for Women” by Forbes.

We are thrilled to have Danielle LaPorte as a keynote speaker at Emerging Women Live 201 4, October 9th-12th at the Sheraton in New York City. Read on and you’ll see why…

“How do you feel when you’re dancing? How do you feel when you’re reading a really great book? How do you feel when your whole body is a “YES”? How do you feel when you’re in your zone? That’s you emerging. Your true self, your essential self, your soul… it is not something that is ‘out there.’ It is something that emerges.”

Danielle loves “preaching to the choir” and empowering women to find their joy through re-examining their relationship with desire. Using entrepreneurship as her “back door approach to having conversations about consciousness,” she helps us focus on desired feelings rather than desired outcomes to create lives that we love living.

“The real juice happens in conversation,” Danielle says, asking the audience of Emerging Women Power Party Seattle 2013 to call out concepts they want to hear her to address in her well-known outspoken style. Check out the video below to hear her talk about desire, discernment, vulnerability and more, and get excited for more Danielle LaPorte truth-bombs at Emerging Women Live 2014.

Danielle LaPorte is a keynote speaker at Emerging Women Live. If you are dedicated to living a fully expressed life, and you are starting or growing a business that thrives on authenticity, creativity, and the power of your unique self, Emerging Women Live is your tribe.

Juicy Bites: Creativity & Courage — Key Ingredients of a Fully Expressed Life

December 6, 2013 by Chantal Pierrat

This week in Juicy Bites:

Remember Anne Lamott’s timeless advice on writing and creativity
Redefine creative goal-setting with Danielle LaPorte
Take a guided audio journey to identify creative blocks
Learn 5 tips for managing a sudden flood of creativity
Be inspired by world leaders’ tributes to human rights champion Nelson Mandela

At the end of this post, we encourage you to join us for a conversation. This week’s Juicy Bites question for you, dear emerging women, is:

1. Bird by Bird: Anne Lamott’s Timeless Advice on Writing and Why Perfectionism Kills Creativity via Brain Pickings

Rediscover Anne Lamott’s profound book on writing and creativity, written “not from the ivory tower of the pantheon but from an honest place of exquisite vulnerability and hard-earned life-wisdom.” A perfect read to remind us of the generosity and grace involved in any creative act.

“Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor, the enemy of the people. It will keep you cramped and insane your whole life.” -Anne Lamott

2. The Perils & the Promise of Goal Setting via Maria Shriver

Danielle LaPorte’s advice on moving away from a traditional goal-setting mindset towards a soul-centered view that satisfies core desired feelings. This shift in perspective, LaPorte says, can lead to surprising choices in your daily life and unexpected, deeply satisfying results in the future.

“You’re not chasing the goal, you’re chasing the feeling that you hope attaining the goal will give you.” -Danielle LaPorte

3. Fully expressing our soul’s potential via Sounds True

Sandra Ingerman “opens up a new world of shaminic practice” to help us manifest our deepest desires and wishes. Journey with her in this guided audio selection to identify the creative blocks keeping you from living the full life you imagine for yourself.

“You are a reflection of the creative force in the universe, and you have this power, too.” -Sandra Ingerman

4. Effects and Remedies for Scatterbrain Creativity via Huff Post Healthy Living

Releasing creative blocks can cause a flood of ideas. Practicing good creative habits will help you anchor your ideas and bring your creativity home. Here are five tips to help you mindfully navigate a rush of creative inspiration.

“Your mind racing with new ideas is great, but unless you can compartmentalize them you are defeating the purpose because at scatterbrain levels your juices will go as quickly as they came.”

5. Nelson Mandela death: World leaders’ reaction via BBC News

Nelson Mandela, South Africa’s first black president who led the peaceful transition from white-only rule, passed this week at age 95. In this article, world leaders remember his courage, compassion, and commitment to equality and human rights.

“History will remember Nelson Mandela as a champion for human dignity and freedom, for peace and reconciliation. We will remember him as a man of uncommon grace and compassion, for whom abandoning bitterness and embracing adversaries was not just a political strategy but a way of life.” -Bill Clinton

We are excited to start a conversation and learn more from YOU, dear emerging women. Leave a comment below:

Power Party Seattle Speaker: Danielle LaPorte

July 24, 2013 by Chantal Pierrat

Danielle LaPorte is an authentic powerhouse.

All it takes to understand and appreciate that is to simply go to her website and read a blog post, watch a video, or listen to her speak. Her unique brand of wisdom is a refreshing remedy for all the overused and outdated self-help/business/marketing practices out there. Danielle’s approach is different. It’s insightful, smart and engaging.

Danielle encourages us to make room in our lives for the truth of who we are, to embrace our neglected passions, to respect our fears, and to welcome our authentic powers. In an interview she mentioned:

“Burnout is not a badge of honor. When things are easy for you, when you’re living and working from that place of your true strength and natural talent, you’re happier. It’s super basic. You’re in a better mood. When you’re in that place, you’re more energized. You get to be of more service to other people.”

“Creating life on your own terms,” the credo of her book, The Fire Starter Sessions (Random House/Crown) is essential for shifting our paradigm of success. Cultivating and expressing, instead of suppressing our unique self, is what gives us our competitive edge. Danielle believes that: “You will always be too much of something for someone: too big, too loud, too soft, too edgy. If you round out your edges, you lose your edge.”

Danielle is our keynote speaker at Emerging Women Power Party in Seattle, August 14th, 2013. You can reserve your spot here: http://powerpartyseattle.eventbrite.com/

The event will also be live streamed. Save the date HERE
