In this personal and moving video, the speaker reflects on her experience of living with multiple autoimmune diseases, including lupus, diagnosed in 2010. She shares how her first illness was triggered by intense emotions, anger, self-pity, and blame that manifested physically in her body’s response.

She addresses viewers directly, acknowledging the exhaustion, pain, and frustration of chronic illness while raising a deeper question: is the sadness really about physical pain, or about mourning the person one used to be? She recalls her own grief at feeling “broken” and no longer the vibrant, healthy person she once liked.

Instead of dwelling on loss, she encourages viewers to explore the possibility of becoming someone new. She outlines a path of acceptance:

• Acknowledge and thank your past life and body for the experiences and mobility they gave.
• Grieve the old self as one would grieve a death.
• Embrace the opportunity to reinvent life after illness, however difficult.

She introduces a psychological perspective by linking personality types (ENFP and ENTP) to coping styles with chronic illness. ENFPs, she notes, often use creativity, optimism, and social networks to adapt, though they may minimize challenges. ENTPs, the visionaries, bring energy and curiosity but risk restlessness or avoidance. Both types, like all patients, must strike a balance between optimism and practical adjustments.

The talk ultimately reframes chronic illness not as the end of identity but as an invitation to create a new one, with resilience, gratitude, and imagination.

Dr. Dana K Prophet introduces herself as a research psychologist and empowerment coach, sharing a powerful message about finding the “legend” within each of us. She explains that being a legend does not mean being remembered by the whole world—it means being unforgettable to even one person.

She notes that many people feel unfulfilled or unsure how to begin contributing meaningfully. Audiences often admire greatness in others but overlook their own potential. Dana reframes this, encouraging viewers to see their uniqueness as a source of impact.

Her talk outlines three key strategies:

• Creative imagination – Revisiting dreams from childhood and daydreams as adults to uncover seeds of greatness.
• Leveraging networks – Recognizing that friends, colleagues, or even acquaintances like a local barista may hold opportunities to advance personal journeys.
• Goal-setting techniques – Using fresh, motivating methods that keep individuals focused and energized every step of the way.

She emphasizes that her sessions are inspiring yet practical, filled with both laughs and action steps. Audiences leave with the tools to recognize their greatness and the motivation to live as the legends they are meant to be.

Dr. Dana K Prophet introduces herself as a research psychologist and empowerment coach based in South Africa. In this short talk, she presents her keynote, “Femininity in the Workplace: Strength, Grace, and Power,” which challenges outdated workplace norms and celebrates the value of feminine leadership traits.

She explains that leadership has evolved, and qualities once seen as weaknesses, empathy, intuition, collaboration are now recognized as strengths. Rather than adopting traditionally masculine archetypes of competition and dominance, women can embrace and elevate their own natural leadership qualities.

Dana emphasizes that these feminine traits should be reframed as power skills, tools that create collaborative, resilient, and holistic workplaces. The talk explores archetypes that resonate in the workforce and how to balance them against masculine traits, fostering inclusivity and synergy rather than rivalry.

Importantly, Dana stresses that this is not just a talk for women. It’s about how all leaders, men and women can integrate feminine and masculine strengths to create dynamic, balanced organizations. Attendees leave with practical tools to lead authentically, strategies to prevent burnout, and renewed confidence in leveraging their unique strengths.

This video begins by examining prehistoric figurines of women, often called Venus figures, created between 30,000 and 5,000 BCE. While these figures celebrated fertility, nurturing, and life-giving qualities—depicting large bellies and breasts—they were often faceless or even headless. The speaker questions whether this absence symbolized an early form of sexism or reflected deeper cultural structures that silenced women’s voices and excluded their intellect.

She then connects this ancient imagery to modern dynamics of gender and respect. Sharing a personal story of bringing her husband a plate of food at a picnic, she illustrates how small acts of honor can create a cycle of mutual respect. Her husband responds to her feminine offering by embodying sacred masculinity, treating her as a queen.

In contrast, she recalls a younger couple who hesitated to show such gestures because each waited for the other to go first, fearing rejection or being taken for granted. This hesitation highlights a broader misunderstanding of masculine and feminine roles.

The speaker emphasizes that masculinity and femininity are not opposites but complementary forces. When women embrace their divine femininity, men are naturally drawn into their sacred masculine, creating balance and harmony. This interplay, she suggests, has been forgotten in modern culture but remains vital for authentic connection and mutual respect.

Dana Profit introduces herself as both a research psychologist and empowerment coach who helps people break free from trauma, autoimmune struggles, or limiting self-beliefs. Her core method uses active imagination a technique where inner blocks are visualized, personified, and questioned until they shift from being perceived as enemies into supportive allies.

She explains the emotional cost of silence and suppression. When people avoid sharing their true dreams and ideas, they feel isolated, misunderstood, and disconnected from their authentic self. Social and vocational roles may box them in, leaving them unable to live freely.

Using a humorous childhood memory, Dana recalls wanting to return to school dressed as Olivia Newton-John’s iconic “cool Sandy” from Grease. Although impractical for a third grader, it illustrates how children imagine without boundaries. Adults, she says, censor these imaginative sparks, dismissing them as unrealistic, even though imagination is the source of innovation, progress, and personal growth.

She reinforces this point with references to Albert Einstein who famously claimed imagination was more important than knowledge—and Mark Twain, who noted the power of thought energy to influence reality. Imagination, Dana argues, is not passive “wishful thinking.” It works in tandem with attention and intention to build creation. She humorously quips that if the law of attraction alone worked, she would have married George Clooney 30 years ago.

Her closing message: imagination is the starting point of authentic living, transformation, and empowerment. By combining it with deliberate focus, individuals can break through blocks, recognize opportunities, and create meaningful change.
