When adapting to life’s stressors, are you more like the coconut or avocado? If you’re like the coconut, you create a hard shell, which dangerously damages your identity, making it harder to adapt and easier to break. In his talk, Jason Hamera challenges you to be more like the avocado, with a hard core and moldable edges, he offers two powerful ways to adapt when stressed. A firm believer that every choice is a chance to make the world a better place, Jason Hamera has chosen to dedicate his life to the service of others. As a health and fitness professional for 17 years, Jason managed several major gym chains, was head trainer at a boutique fitness studio in NYC, and obtained myriad certifications. 5 years ago, Jason discovered his true passion: teaching. Completing a MSc. in educational psychology, and a specialization certificate in positive psychology Jason shifted his focus from training bodies to training minds. Positioned as a mindset guide writing for his blog, Words Create Worlds, Jason is focused on using his platform to uplift and inspire the upcoming generation, by using language to change mindsets. He is a faculty member at Gray Institute for Functional Movement, the director of education for Procedos exercise systems, and a motivational speaker with teaching experience in over 15 countries.
