P15/05a “Ecocide is the Missing 5th Crime Against Peace”.

January 24, 2015September 26, 2021Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Positive Living Vibrations with Sara Troy and her guest Polly Higgins. Aired from February 3rd

Ecocide Law sits at the heart of an emerging body of law called Earth Law. Earth law puts people and planet first and ensures the well-being of the whole Earth community. Earth Law recognizes that the Earth has natural limits and boundaries, and it is for us to ensure the welfare of the entire Earth Community by putting in place laws that protect future generations.

One-day Ecocide will be a crime. All of the humanity depends on healthy ecosystems, so humanity has a choice: to either consciously prevent the extensive destruction of ecosystems or wait for the consequences to impact us directly. Either way, the status quo where Ecocide remains profitable and legal cannot continue forever, so a law preventing it is inevitable and will be with us soon.

However, the Law of Ecocide is more than a peace agenda. It will also trigger the ‘Green Economy’ and create millions of jobs, which will be good for people, societies, governments and shareholders everywhere. It is happening, and we need to get behind it now.

I Dare You to Be Great
by Polly Higgins

Internationally acclaimed Earth Lawyer, Polly Higgins, is journeying into greatness and inviting everyone of us to join her in collective affirmative action to save ourselves and the environment. !!
“We get to determine what the future is. Let’s engage in the big questions of our time, not the ones we already know the answers to” !!
World-renowned barrister and author Polly Higgins proposed to the United Nations in 2010 that ‘ecocide’ – the extensive damage or loss of the ecosystem of a given territory – be made a legally recognized crime. As a passionate advocate for more comprehensive environmental safeguards, since her campaign began, Polly has realized that great change, and thereby greatness, starts with the individual self and that before we can break the cycles of environmental harm playing out across the world, each one of us must break our own personal ecocides.

I Dare You to Be Great signals Polly’s rousing call to arms for all of the mankind to join her in one giant leap towards greatness.
A unique blend of memoir, academic treatise, and self-help, I Dare You To Be Great is divided into three critical stages. The first introduces the concept of what it is great and to achieve greatness; Higgins encourages her readers to reflect on their sense of self about the universe and to create their own personal vision of greatness. By identifying a distressing memory of childhood bullying, Polly reveals how in confronting and releasing such negative shackles she was able to open up to new experiences and accept her call to greatness. As people, we must celebrate,
improve and honor ourselves before we will be ready to transfer our self-care to that of the wider Earth community, ultimately extending personal compassion to ensuring the health and well-being of the Earth for future generations, thereby creating a more beautiful world for everyone.
Enlightening rather than didactic in her approach, Polly Higgins draws upon anecdotes from her personal and professional life with inspiring keys and tools for self-improvement that she has collected during her own journey.

I Dare You to be Great is warm, open and honest in its approach and will educate and move readers to tap into the often ignored sense that we are destined for – and capable of – something far greater. Polly heard and answered the call to greatness back in 2010 and has never looked back.
About the author: Polly Higgins is a former barrister and award-winning author who travels the world advising on her proposed international Law of Ecocide. Chairwoman of the Eradicating Ecocide Global Initiative and co-founder of the Earth Law Alliance, Higgins is widely recognized as the leading figure and specialist in her field, having, lectured in front of world leaders and been featured in Time Magazine and The Guardian. She has previously published two critically acclaimed books: Eradicating Ecocide and Earth is our Business. In recognition of her services to the Earth, Polly was
named Earth’s Lawyer at the Change Awards and named ‘One of the world’s top 10 visionary thinkers’ by Ecologist Magazine. In her spare time, Polly seeks out the wild and continues daring herself to be great.

P15/03a Becoming a “Female Leader” in today’s world

January 12, 2015January 26, 2018Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Aired from January 20th on Positive Living Vibrations with Sara Troy and her guest Nicole Dominique Le Maire

I am now 37 and can say that starting my own business has been a challenge, but one that inspires me every day. I love waking up and knowing that I will be doing something totally different each day.

Nicole Dominique Le Maire has gained a reputation as a highly valued leader within the female business and Human Resources Industry. As a multi-talented woman entrepreneur and a global people connector, she is also the co-author of two books, including ‘The Female Leader’.

Nicole is an expert in leading people-based activity from a strategic and operational perspective, with a gift for developing entrepreneurs. As a result, she has gained tremendous experience guiding startups and entrepreneurs which has supplemented her MBA, MAHRM, and MCIPD and this has catapulted her to become one of the top leaders in the Human Resources and Female Leader industry.

Overcoming dyslexia and becoming a very successful woman takes belief in one’s self, women in business is very important today and is powerful, and a catalyst that creates new opportunities for women just starting out. As women, we tend to value relationships and through that, we can open up new avenues for global partnerships that drive win-win relationships between organizations.

If you take me for example, I am a very creative individual who enjoyed coming up with new ideas for the corporate business I was working in. Now at that time there were certainly many benefits to working inside a company and focusing on moving the corporate business forward, yet the idea of putting too many eggs in one basket and working on multiple projects at once kept me excited, yet ultimately it leads to a feeling of boredom.

This boredom is very current and linked in many cases (from my experience) to high achievers (especially women) leaving the corporate workforce. In a way not taking the role of intrapreneurial women in the corporate industry serious can kill the spirit of true innovation. This could be the reason as to why so many corporate intrapreneurial programs fail in the mainstream.

Women’s entrepreneurship is becoming an increasingly hot button topic. Women who want to experience financial independence and also experience the thrill that comes with owning one’s own business. There’s a lot that goes into running a successful business, and it can take a while to actually get something done, depending on how hard one works and what industry one chooses.

My experience of working with women and what the biggest challenges are that women face succeeding with their business

In most parts of our society, we have come to accept that men and women generally have the same capability to do a job. However, as much as mainstream society is poised to embrace the growing power of women in the workplace, there are many studies that show that people are unable to grapple with the idea of a female leader, yet more and more surveys have shown that female managers and business leaders are getting higher marks and reviews than ever before.

As more women role models appear in industries and companies throughout the world, it is becoming clear to anyone that female leadership is not only real but will likely surpass male leadership numbers in the future. I have worked with women in business for many years and I myself have faced the challenges of being a female intrapreneur whilst still working at companies such as DHL, Alstom, Epson and now as a female business owner.

What is the wisdom you would share with women who want to get engaged in business?

In order for a brand to be memorable, it has to stand out from the crowd. You need to be different from everyone else in order to create a memorable brand persona. Add your talents and skills to your unique persona, and you will find the sweet spot that only your company can fill.

It is a big step, so be sure it is really what you want. You have to commit to long-term growth and learning and you will face challenges that will help you develop as a woman in business.

P15/01a When Did You Die & Do you choose to Live

December 30, 2014March 28, 2025Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Positive Living Vibrations with Sara Troy and her guest Temple Hayes Aired January 6th/15

8 Steps to Stop Dying Every Day and Start Waking Up

When Did You DIE? When someone told you that you weren’t good enough? When you buried who you really are for fear that others would disapprove? Or when you gave up your creative dreams to take a “practical” job? Are you in a relationship that does not ‘relate’ to you?

You may not have realized you were dying, but you have been dying a little more each day. And that’s the miracle of Temple Hayes’ remarkable new book, When Did You Die? 8 Steps to Stop Dying Every Day and Start Waking Up (HCI Books). It empowers you to wake up and take back your life!

Hayes is today one of the most respected and authentically inspiring leaders in spiritual enrichment and a sought-after speaker. A Unity minister in St. Petersburg Fl., with a global following, and an extremely popular radio show, Hayes knows firsthand what it is to die to your true self and your dreams.

Born in a rural Southern church-going community, she knew from the beginning she was different from those around her. Her life was filled with strife–violence in the home, a lack of love and compassion, blatant neglect. Her father killed her adored cat, later ran over her dog with his truck and when she was helping her beloved dog, her grandfather–with reckless abandon–ran over her with his car. Horrifyingly, her mother was forced into shock treatments for not conforming to local morale judgments. What terrible message did THAT convey to her preteen daughter? Men tried to force themselves on Hayes. So at 13, she sought to numb the pain with alcohol bought at the local grocery store. But there was more than she was hiding, she knew she had a deep connection to the spirit which no one would approve or believe because it didn’t conform to traditional Christian teachings. And the biggest secret of all was that she was attracted to other girls. So each day, she denied who she was, diving deeper into numbness, dying a little more each day.

And so she raged on, with a drinking problem that resulted in multiple auto accidents, arrests, the loss of her driver’s license, and years of bad behaviour. Over the years, despite outwardly having a very successful professional career in the corporate world, she floundered in relationships, felt empty and hid her sexual identity. And then slowly she emerged — with a deep hunger for spiritual connection, a connection that led to her healing and to the wisdom that she offers in When Did You Die? to help others resurrect themselves.

Says Hayes: “Many people do not realize that there are many layers of being asleep and dying while we are living. We are so caught up in the motions of living, eating, working, and making and keeping appointments that we don’t realize that we died to our potential a long time ago. We have become robotic! How do you know whether you’ve been dying a bit every day? One key way is to notice if you are feeling disconnected or drained rather than energized or impassioned about your life… the inner cause of feeling disconnected and drained is that our society and surroundings often do not allow us the chance to be our true selves. We often approach life being half awake which gets in the way of our success.

“True success is measured by how we thrive and live being totally alive, rather than being drained and weary. Subtle deaths prevent us from experiencing the miracles and magic that are our birthright. Your light is your energy, your gift to the world. And your lightness of being is your gift to yourself. Making a decision to stop dying will greatly increase your capacity to start living and to manifest your true purpose in life. You will now begin to shine.”

When Did You Die? is designed to inspire you to become more alive, more authentic, more youthful, and more energetic!

A much-needed wake-up call for an emotionally and spiritually drained generation, the book offers a profound 8-step program to propel you to a healthier, happier, and more prosperous life. This inspiring, realistic guide is packed with motivational tools, shamanic surprises, daily practices, uplifting parables, and good, old-fashioned Southern storytelling. Chapter by chapter, step by step, you’ll learn how you connect with those subtle moments which will leave you either disconnected and drained or energized and impassioned. Discover practical ways to actually go through fear and not let it stop you. You’ll learn how restoring your soul re-energizes you and creates an open heart. When Did You Die? shifts the paradigm and lifts you to live beyond your greatest vision.

Hayes is the embodiment of what she teaches. Authentic to the core, she inspires millions around the world: “I had almost become comfortable being a chicken even though deep down I always knew I was an eagle destined for an ‘eagle’s life.’ The eagle within me continued to call me to keep going.” And so Hayes did…living in full brilliance instead of dying a bit more each day.
