Examples of speech topics:
- Defining Success: Is achieving goals the only measure of success? Learning and gaining knowledge to avoid repeating mistakes. Failure as success and reward in development conditions.
- Think Outside the Box: While routine is good 80% of the time, some tasks require actions beyond the standard repertoire and environment. Solving such tasks gives an incredible dopamine boost and pride.
- Overcoming Obstacles: Why me? Robert Lewandowski, Rafał Brzoska, Bill Gates, Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein – they all faced rejection at some point. My failures motivated me to work harder and broaden my perspective.
- Focus on What You Can Control: Think about action and surround yourself with people capable of action and growth. Internal resistance is completely natural, even for a champion.
- Body Posture Determines Emotions: This phenomenon works both ways. Hacking your mind is achieved through body posture and proving to your mind that action and efficiency are in your nature at that moment.
- Motivation through Inspiring Stories: From a small village to the stadiums of major events.
