BE EPIC EVERYDAY®

What is Epic?

Epic is an approach to leadership and life that embraces, accelerates and capitalizes on change.  Epic means being absolutely engaged on your quest with a clear sense of the story you are part of and how that narrative inspires your journey.

Why you need it?

The speed of change and challenge today mimics the storylines of old epic tales.  Like the mythical heroes of those ancient poems we need to be ready for anything, anytime, and unflinchingly committed to going wherever the “story” leads us.

SHIFTING SANDS

 

A GUIDEBOOK FOR CROSSING THE DESERTS OF CHANGE

(OVER 125,000 COPIES SOLD)

 

"When I was 20 years old I crossed the Sahara Desert from north to south. Shifting Sands tells the story of that epic adventure and uses the desert journey as a metaphor for times of transition in our lives."

FOLLOW YOUR COMPASS

(KOREAN BESTSELLER)

 

"My second book shows you how to achieve your greatest success by finding and following your inner guidance system.  It was an instant bestseller in Korea and an English version will be released in 2016.”

 

 

"Every few years I return to the Sahara with a small group of friends and clients. We fly from Paris to an oasis in southern Algeria. For the next 7 days we travel in 4 wheel drive vehicles over some of the most beautiful terrain you will ever see.

 

We play on 1,000 feet tall dunes and camp under a breathtaking canopy of stars. We visit nomadic desert tribes and share tea with them. Our head guide, Moulay Harachi, leads us on hikes through the dunes and into spectacular canyons that house 50,000 year-old rock paintings.

 

Daytime temperatures are surprisingly comfortable during autumn and early winter. But nights are cool and you will need a very warm sleeping bag. Evenings are spent around the campfire where we enjoy delicious meals prepared by our cook, Brahim.

 

Join me for your own epic adventure in the in the stunning environment that inspired mine!”

SAHARA ADVENTURE

AND CREATE YOUR OWN EPIC NARRATIVE

“After 15 years as an international speaker I literally ran out of motivation.  So I went in search of a new story and a reason to tell it.  I traveled 72,000 miles in 3 years on a global odyssey including a return to the Sahara Desert 33 years later.  On this second epic journey I discovered how a new narrative can transform your work and inspire your life.”
