Best-selling author and host of the Emmy award-winning television program The Amazing Race, New Zealand native Phil Keoghan’s life has been full of travel and adventure. A near-death experience at the age of 19 prompted Keoghan to compile a list of things he wanted to accomplish before he died and from there, the NOW (No Opportunity Wasted) philosophy was born.
Keoghan’s NOW philosophy is about learning how to live while you still have the chance, letting go of the handrails, thinking outside the box and using your imagination as your currency.
Keoghan recently teamed up with corporate consultant Kris Schaeffer to incorporate his NOW message into workshops geared toward corporate audiences. Schaeffer has worked with renowned blue-chip companies such as Pepsi-Cola, Anheuser Busch, Frito-Lay, Levi-Strauss, and AT&T, to name a few. With NOW Events, Keoghan and Schaeffer can help businesspeople:
-Be motivated to make a significant shift in your life (your “near death experience” prompts you to change)
-Ditch excuses
-Seize opportunities
-Make every moment a NOW moment
-Write a list for life (on a “paper bag”)
-Write life goals
-Explore (literally!) these eight great NOW themes to recognize your own goals – Face Your Fears, Get lost, Test Your Limits, Take a Leap of Faith, Rediscover Your Childhood, Shed Your Inhibitions / Express Yourself, Break New Ground, and Aim for the Heart.
While Phil has been personally spreading his NOW message through corporate speaking engagements, NOW Events will build upon and expand the reach so that many others can benefit. NOW Events are flexible in format - contact IMG Speakers to discuss the many possibilities.
Together, Phil Keoghan and Kris Schaeffer can help companies recharge their employees, get them fired up about goals, and eliminate self-limiting attitudes using the NOW philosophy.
