Day 1 Keynote Speaker - Wayne E. Nance
 Twenty seven years ago
Wayne E. Nance's life was completely out of
control. He weighed 305 pounds and smoked two packs of cigarettes a day.
His marriage was dissolving and his finances were bottoming out. Wayne
reached inside himself and discovered that none of the three pillars of
life - health, finance and relations - could be balanced without the
other.
Today, Wayne is a trimmed-down success story. He is a sought-after
speaker and author on managing your life to its fullest potential. It's
a power, he says, is within us all and one that we all can harness
starting with a 3-minute commitment.
"There is a crisis in America. More than 85% of Americans are
technically broke through interest-bearing debt, 67% of us are
considered obese and 51% of families are divorced. These are not
isolated facts, but are connected. Through my survey, you can find the
connection."
Wayne was a financial advisor for over 25 years, but his passion was
researching this link between obesity, financial strain, and
relationship meltdown. This brought him to the creation of Real Life
Management(TM), a company dedicated to providing the education that
isn't taught in school or at home on weight, money and relationships,
and how these three main components of life are connected. He's carried
out the company's mission through his acclaimed books
Mind Over Money
and Liten up for Life, his Real Life Management(TM) DVD
Educational Series, national seminars, and media appearances. All of
this has led to the forthcoming release of his new Simon & Schuster book
Thin, Rich and Happy: Take 3 Minutes to Start Your Real Life
Management Plan.
"For seven years, I studied with stress psychologists, sports
nutritionists and a personal therapist developing and researching these
findings," says Nance. "What we learned is that lifestyle issues stem
from inborn attitudes and beliefs that account for 80% of our personal
choices - attitudes and beliefs most of us don't even realize we have.
To really make a difference, we don't need to change ourselves, only
alter our attitudes."
Wayne soon left his successful career in the financial industry to
follow his passion of educating businesses and families on the ways
attitudes about our weight, money and relationships are interwoven.
Born and raised in Texas, Wayne still resides in the "Lone Star State"
with his wife, Shannon, and three children, Christel, Melissa and Kara.
His "ABC's of Real Life Management(TM)" program is currently utilized by
top corporations, organizations, institutions and church groups
throughout the United States. There isn't a topic his Real Life
Management(TM) program can't address. |
