Boxing and the Art of Life: Lessons on Resilience, Forgiveness and Self Mastery

Photo of Ed Latimore

Every day, we absorb body blows: some glancing, others that knock us to the mat. It doesn’t matter how well-prepared or tough you think you are.

Everyone, at some point, is hit with a haymaker from life. It’s the cost of living. And just like in the ring, opting out of pain is not an option.

In this webinar heavyweight boxer Ed Latimore will share the valuable lessons about resilience, forgiveness, and self mastery he has learned from his challenging upbringing, and from competing as a professional boxer.

Ed’s story is one of growing up in Pittsburgh’s public housing projects, raised by a single mom, failing high school, and developing a huge drinking problem.

Then, at 22, he found boxing, won amateur national titles, got signed to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Sports as a pro boxer, got sober, and completed a degree in physics.

He teaches the hard lessons he learned from the hurt business of boxing and life.

In this webinar you will learn: (Learning Objectives)

  • How to find self mastery in the face of uncertainty.
  • How to discover the power of forgiveness.
  • How to embrace pain and adversity to design a life of purpose.

Ed says, “How we absorb life’s blows and rally through bruised and bloodied rounds shows who we are at our core. We sacrifice, weep, heal, and carry on. In hardship, we transcend.”

The Mountain is You: Transforming Self-Sabotage to Self-Mastery

This webinar is about self sabotage. Why we do it, when we do it, and how to stop doing it…for good.

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile.

In this webinar you will learn how to:

  • Extract crucial insights from your most damaging habits.
  • Build emotional intelligence by understanding your brain and body.
  • Release past experiences.
  • Step out of your own way, and into your potential.

For centuries, the mountain has been used as a metaphor for the big challenges we face, especially ones that seem impossible to overcome.

To scale our mountains, we actually have to do the deep internal work of excavating trauma, building resilience, and adjusting how we show up for the climb.

In the end, it is not the mountain we master, but ourselves.

Learn how in this webinar!
