In this episode, Will Keiper shares his profound journey through life’s challenges, focusing on the significance of noticing and how it has transformed his approach to both his personal and professional life. He discusses his upcoming book, The Power of Noticing, which began as a simple exploration of awareness and grew into a deeply personal account of his experiences with cancer. Will emphasizes the difference between merely seeing the world and actively noticing it, which he believes is a foundational skill that can enrich one’s life and create deeper connections with the present moment. Will also reflects on his enduring relationships with influential figures like Steve Chandler and Steve Hardison, discussing how their mentorship has shaped his approach to life and leadership. His ability to quiet his mind and be present, tools he developed through both personal exploration and the Positive Intelligence Program, has become central to his well-being. This conversation explores how noticing, awareness, and presence can offer clarity, reduce suffering, and provide a pathway to living an extraordinary life, especially in the face of adversity.
