ON FIRE: The 7 Choices to Ignite a Radically Inspired Life
We live in a world where “accidental living” – mindlessly moving through routines, wasting countless hours on
social media, or complaining about what’s wrong in our jobs, families and society – has become the norm. But
John O’Leary reminds us that just because we got out of bed this morning does not mean that we are truly living.
What would our day, impact and output look like if we lived a radically inspired life every single day?
Living radically inspired means you learn from past mistakes, rise above challenges and thrive no matter the
circumstances. No one embodies this more than powerhouse inspirational speaker John O’Leary - who was
nearly killed in a devastating fire at age nine. Today, John inspires 50,000+ people each year around the world.
In his #1 national best-selling book
ON FIRE: The 7 Choices to Ignite a Radically Inspired Life
, John has identi-
fied choices to transform your life and business.
John shares the critical truth that “inflection points” - moments in time that change everything that follows
- occur daily. Realize it’s your choice how these inflection points will affect you. Your life has much less to do
with what happens to you, and much more to do with how you react to it. Are you ready to live on fire?
KEY LEARNING OBJECTIVES
ACCOUNTABILITY:
The home care industry has achieved significant growth and progress despite changing regulations and mis-
conceptions in recent years. As a home care industry, we need to own our wins and our failures to truly cele-
brate our outcomes. John will help you discover the power of taking ownership of your lives and careers, and
realize the impact it will have not only on the lives of those you serve, but also on your bottom line. Replace
blame shifting with courageous living.
VICTOR MINDSET:
Too few clients, not enough caregivers, and not enough hours in the day…these are all things we within the
home care industry can relate to. Instead, let’s shift our perspective to leverage our strengths and reclaim our
lives. First, John will help you see how perspective is coloring each of your interactions. Then, he’ll guide you as
you shift your perspective to strive for progress (not perfection) and learn from defeat. With a new common
mindset, you’ll achieve unbridled success.
