Build A Bigger Life

Jason Treu (pronounced “Troy”) has a passion for people. As a naive grad student he asked future employers what became one of the most difficult questions for people to ask: ‘Are you happy’? The questions he started asking others became part of his business as a business and executive coach. The inner questions are at the heart of Jason’s work with his clients… mastering the inside eventually helps the person master the outside. Around the 8:00 mark, Jason tells the story of someone that was made fun of as a kid because of vocal cord damage. The story she had told herself made her afraid of getting on the phone, afraid of opening up, and ultimately was keeping her from performing in her job. By removing the emotional blocks, this client of Jason’s created some amazing breakthroughs. Create a purpose based on your top emotions, is the advice Jason gives people that are either pursuing happiness, fulfillment, success, or some other nebulous idea.
