I had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Yossi Ghinsberg present at a recent overseas conference conducted by Sigma Company Limited.

Yossi's story is an inspiration and demonstrated clearly the strength of the human mind and what it is capable of achieving. The sincerity and passion with which he delivers his story endeared him to all the delegates present.

The reception after his first presentation was such that we invited Yossi to make a second presentation on the following day. His easy going style and broad perspective on life made him an instant success with all those present and he was generous in the time he was willing to share with all the delegates and their partners throughout the cruise.

Talking to him and sharing his views on a variety of topics only served to confirm the depth of his thinking and the caliber of the man.

Sigma is delighted to have had Yossi on our conference program and have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone who is looking for a speaker of exceptional caliber with a most intriguing and interesting experience to share. I wish him well for the future and look forward to building on the relationship that we established during this conference over future years.

Thank you for your invaluable contribution to our recent Nokia Day conference. Your address was perfectly suited to our overall theme of "continuous learning". Feedback received from the group was outstanding which can only be attributed to your ability to communicate the events you experienced whilst in the Amazon.

The storytelling of 'The Holy Grail' at the themed dinner was superb with all staff mesmerized by your presentation. In addition, your morning meditation session provided an excellent means of recovery following the festivities of the previous evening.

Your contribution to the success of the Nokia Day was significant and for that we are most grateful.
    Chris Carr, Financial Controller, Nokia Telecommunications

I feel like I may have made a new friend. We are very pleased, as you know, with your presentation.

Thank you for your candor and honesty and for your easy working relationship.

Please keep in touch.

As you are aware, we recently invited Yossi Ghinsberg to speak at our Sales Conference for Olympus last month. After hearing Yossi speak last year at the Corporate Lunch, I felt he would be an ideal candidate to inspire and encourage our Sales Team to new heights and to push the boundaries.

I am pleased to say that Yossi's speech/presentation did achieve the desired result. Everyone who participated in the evening had nothing but glowing references and felt an enormous sense of exhilaration in recounting Yossi's story.

I would not hesitate to recommend him to other companies thinking of using him in a similar situation.

As the acting president of Guadalajara’s YPO chapter it is my pleasure to endorse the work of inspirational speaker Yossi Ghinsberg.

We have heard a lot about him and his life experiences but little did we know we were about to meet a storyteller of world stature. His stories had the power to remove us from our mundane and familiar realities and take us to Yossi’s magical world of exotic places and dramatic adventures. No one could stay indifferent, hanging on each word and with him in every breath, exploring not only the wilderness of the Amazon and the physical endurance but also the mysteries of our the heart and the nature of existence.

It was a most memorable evening and truly inspirational experience, Yossi’s gift will remain with us no doubts for very long.

On a personal level it was a pleasure to meet and work with Yossi. He surprised us all with his control of the Spanish language which further won the hearts of our members and their spouses. The event was a great success with fantastic feedback and one of the highest speaker evaluations in the history of our chapter.

Lost in the Bolivian Amazon, Yossi Ghinsberg needed to draw upon the very deepest wells of his inner strength in order to survive. His harrowing experience left him with unique insight into what it takes to empower our selves and turn adversity into opportunity. A deeply inspiring speaker, Ghinsberg invests each presentation with emotion and energy.

Years of reflection and experience living in the jungle that once nearly took Ghinsberg’s life have shown him that as humans, we need to re-attach ourselves to the larger world. Our lives have become “life in a box.” We’ve forgotten our birthright – our connection to the rest of the intricate web of life on this planet. Ghinsberg reminds his audiences what it means to be part of all creation, empowering individuals to take on important new responsibility for their futures.

Ghinsberg also helps audiences understand change as an ever-present phenomenon. Recognizing and accepting change helps us cope with our evolving circumstances effectively and productively. Accepting change needn’t mean relinquishing power; rather, accepting and fruitfully responding to change helps us exercise power well.

Corporations and organisations worldwide are experiencing Yossi's keynote presentations and seminars to be effective in transforming attitudes, creating positive outlooks, encouraging proper action and improving performance.

A natural born storyteller and motivational speaker, Yossi's presentations become the talk of every event. A master storyteller and inspirational speaker, Yossi's keynote Laws of the Jungle challenges audiences on emotional as well as intellectual grounds.

The results are outstanding growth, shift and breakthrough on professional, organisational and personal levels. Invigorating, inspirational and thought-provoking, Yossi's keynote leaves no audience indifferent. Audiences are spellbound, hanging on every word; you can hear a pin drop.

The Power to Survive
After a tragic separation from his friends, one man is lost alone for weeks in the heart of the Amazon with no food or weapons in the midst of the worst rainy season in decades. Through this amazing experience Yossi Ghinsberg penetrates a new level of understanding of life and himself.

A master storyteller, Yossi takes his audiences on an emotional experience of inner strength and self-discovery.

This keynote presentation is based on Yossi’s international bestseller Jungle, now also a documentary by the acclaimed producers of Touching the Void and the Discovery Channel.

Apart from the sheer excitement and thrill of Yossi's presentation his delivery encourages audiences to review and reevaluate their own personal and professional circumstances. Audiences are empowered to adapt to circumstances with a sense of adventure. Yossi believes we are co-creators of our reality and hence fear and worry are not likely to improve any situation, however right action can always be taken. Adversity is part of life; being a victim a matter of choice.

Yossi feels there is an inherent hero in each one of us ready to emerge; there exists a well of wisdom far greater than our own knowledge ready to be made available. Never, ever give up for life is never short of a miracle.

This keynote presentation sows long-lasting seeds of empowerment with its audiences.

The Laws of the Jungle: Jaguars Don’t Need Self-help Books

The only species that separates and alienates itself from nature is our own. Isolated in that seclusion we either try to dominate nature or protect ourselves from it.

Yossi asks his audience to expand their horizon and see "the big picture". Our life has become "life in a box: and we've forgotten that it is our birth right to be and feel part of our planet and the entire universe we live in.

A master practitioner of corporate spirituality, Yossi Ghinsberg introduces this pioneering work of incorporating principles and guidelines from nature, the natural world, the planet as a whole and the cosmos and draws their relation to the management of our personal and professional lives.

Audiences are intrigued by the unique cutting-edge human thinking that provokes and challenges the conventional, suggesting an alternative outlook on life and a new path of action toward wellbeing and success. Empowering and encouraging, Yossi’s "Laws of the Jungle" teaches that we are the co-creators of this life, assuming responsibility will yield power, what we tend to resist persists, acquiring a new perspective and casting our vision upon the future will form a new path.

Yossi’s "Laws of the Jungle" are well researched and source from an array of interdisciplinary sciences and fields, such as quantum physics, Buddhism, Kabala, anthropology and environmental sciences. Nevertheless most of the insights can be discerned through simple contemplations and observations of nature.

Having lived in the Amazon rainforest for three years and now living in the Australian rainforest, Yossi knows how to bring to life the natural world and relate it to an audience in a fascinating way.

The teaching of the "Laws of the Jungle" to audiences has a tremendous and direct impact, bringing breakthroughs and transformations to both individuals and organizations.

This topic is highly entertaining due to Yossi’s ability to tell stories and create mind images with his audiences, and at the same time the material can only be described as life-changing.

The Laws of the Jungle is a topic packed with content and can be delivered as a 60 to 90 minute keynote allowing time for interaction and Q & A. Alternatitvely it can be extended to a three-hour breakout session.

Sailing the Seas of Change
"It is not the strongest of the species that survives nor the most intelligent, but the one most adaptable to change." - Charles Darwin

The famous adage says: "change is the only constant." Indeed it is impermanence that is the essence of our existence in a word that is always in flux. As inherent and inevitable as change is, it is perceived by many individuals and organizations as a problem.

Accepting change as a natural phenomenon is the basis of sanity, knowing how to flow with the change is the greatest of virtues. This is the most basic and relevant wisdom that can help us better manage our lives.

Understanding change; welcoming change; adapting to change; not clinging to passing experiences; going through changes and adversity maintaining responsibility and power - all this is possible when an understanding and acceptance of change is incorporated into one’s life.

Quite paradoxically when such understanding is inherent, change ceases to seem so personal. There is no aversion to trouble and no clinging to fleeting pleasure. Instead there is acceptance of the new circumstances and an adaptation based on action.

The other and more common path of resisting change, chasing fleeting phenomena and being its victim comes from ignorance and promotes a sense of helplessness followed by involuntary reaction.

Surrendering to the power of change doesn't mean one is helpless or powerless, on the contrary change always represents opportunity for growth.

A master storyteller, Yossi’s keynote on change is not a lecture but rather a journey taking audiences far away from their mundane reality and far above their judgmental minds, and allows access to new perspectives and reflections.
