This is the title of my PechaKucha talk on beliefs. I’ll be covering what beliefs are, how they are formed and how everything in our life is affected and governed by them.
When is a rose not a rose?
My talk focuses on some of the freshest thinking around beliefs and illustrates how our beliefs impact and affect all areas of our lives including our health, wealth and happiness. Everything we do in life and everything that happens to us is based on what we believe. Our beliefs govern everything we do, don’t, can’t or won’t do. I’ve included a few fun twists in the talk which should delight, surprise and maybe shock too!
Once the talk is done I’ll convert it into a video and post it here on the Mind Muscle website.
What is a PechaKucha
PechaKucha or to use the full name, PechaKucha 20×20, is a simple presentation format where you show 20 images, each for 20 seconds. The images advance automatically and you talk along to the images. The presentation format was devised by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham of Klein Dytham architecture.
The first PechaKucha Night was held in Tokyo in February, 2003. Klein Dytham architecture still organize and support the global PechaKucha Night network and organize PechaKucha Night Tokyo.

PechaKucha Johannesburg is facilitated and managed by Bronwyn and Duncan. This particular night is at the Wanderers Club in Illovo on 30 August at 19:00.
