Husband, father, civil engineer, entrepreneur, body builder, dance champion, and Carnegie Hall Vocal Soloist shows how to embark on your own hero’s journey through the midlife experience. 

Is midlife an exciting hero’s journey, or are you ashamed and embarrassed that you’re over 30? “Mainstream media has sold us on the idea that our middle-age years are something we should be ashamed or embarrassed about, but that’s just not true,” says John Teng, founder of Maxlife Magazine and the author of Hero Mindset: Become the Hero of Your Own Adventure!

John Teng’s fun, energetic talk gives his audience ten reasons why midlife is the very best phase of life and why it’s also the perfect time for men and women to embark on their own personal hero’s journeys. He inspires his middle-aged peers to rewrite the script of their past, and focus instead on the rich potential and promise that this most exciting phase of life can offer them! John shares his own remarkable story, revealing how, while his personal and professional life looked good on the outside, he was facing a serious crisis that forced him to decide between continuing on his current path of a “Greek Tragedy,” or to instead choose to embark on his own epic “hero’s journey.” And as part of this awakening process, he learned how to tap the amazing potential and possibilities that his future really had to offer.

John shares these strategies with his audience and shows how to:

• Balance the seemingly insurmountable list of your life’s responsibilities
• Understand why your age is one of your assets and is not a liability
• Strengthen or save your marriage
• Learn to fail (as all successful people do) in order to succeed
• Assemble a winning team for your hero’s journey
• Handle power without yielding to “the fall of temptation”
• Harness the power of your thoughts to achieve your life goals
  … and much, much more

“Stress, fear, fatigue, temptation, and physical changes are the short list of pressures that our demographic is facing non-stop and that is literally killing many of our peers,” John points out. If your group is feeling the pressure of midlife, this talk offers practical solutions to deal with the challenges unique to the middle years.

John J. Teng’s highly customized keynotes and workshops provide inspiration and hope in accepting the personal difficulties in your life as an important part of progressing towards living your most triumphant life!

Takeaway
John Teng’s talks inspire anyone navigating midlife to rewrite their life script so that these middle years and those that follow become a hero’s journey full of promise, adventure and accomplishment.
