Ilene Dillon Speaking Topics

Are You Tired of Being Manipulated?

Everyone is born manipulative! We are DESIGNED to outgrow manipulation as we grow up, yet most people have "missed the memo." This talk is designed to introduce the true origins of manipulation, why we do it, why we continue to manipulate as "adults," and ways to recognize when we are being manipulated by others. Lastly, things to do to end manipulation in our lives are featured. Manipulation involves our personal energy. In these changing times, people are being pushed to get in charge of their personal energy, to have happier and more empowered lives. Audience members experience relief in knowing this information about manipulation, which can lead them to "outgrowing" manipulation (in themseelves and by others) in their lives.

Realigning with Anger: Why and How to Develop Anger Mastery

Anger is incredibly disruptive in today's world. Because we have not been dealing with anger based on what it actually is, and what it is designed to do for us, we've been ineffective in working with anger definitively, allowing it to build up and negatively influence our mental and physical health, and relationships. Recent research has revealed that repressed anger can, and does, kill us. In this talk, we identify what anger IS, its characteristics, its message for us, and how to work with it so anger becomes an asset, as it is designed to serve us. Participants leave with an understanding of anger, how and why repressed anger is dangerous to us, and how to begin working with anger as "partners," allowing anger to do its work FOR us.

A "Loneliness Epidemic?" Dissipate Loneliness Yourself, in Minutes!

Today's experts tell us there is a "Loneliness Epidemic." It is suggested we need more personal interaction with other people in order to experience a "cure." Knowing the real cause of feelings of loneliness changes the "treatment," simplifying it and empowering us to help loneliness dissipate within minutes, without making new friends!! (We still can make them; but it's not a requirement for healing!) Through use of the "Earth as Giant School" model and a revolutionary new way of working with emotions, participants will come to 1) understand the "message" of loneliness, 2) know how to use that message to relieve loneliness, 3) develop their ability to relieve loneliness in on-going ways so that loneliness ceases to be an issue for their lives.

No More Saber-Toothed Tigers! Secrets for Living Fear-Less-Ly

There are no more Saber-toothed Tigers! Audience members will discover why this creates a thorny problem for modern people and the emotions they feel--especially fear. They'll discover a powerful way to deal with a brain that goes immediately to the "negative" (fear), allowing fear to grow and expand and mess up their lives. Through stories of success and failure in dealing with fear, participants will be introduced to a Four-step Method for moving feelings of fear into its healthy counterpart, allowing for "Fear-Less Living."

Unleashing Joy in Our "Outside-in" World

Today, human lives are directed at finding what we need in life by going "out there," away from ourselves to find and attract what we believe we need for our lives. It's "Outside-In" Living, a way of living that gets in the way of dealing with emotions, developing a full relationship with Joy, and empowering ourselves to develop the lives we really want to live, whether privately or in the world of work. In this talk, participants will explore the "basic ingredients" for recognizing and feeling joy, the positive, creative addition Joy adds to life on all levels, and how to "find" and "develop" joy in every day. Joy "draws" life to us, making life easier and more enjoyable.
