ANNOUNCING AN AWESOME FACILITATOR FOR IOM #23 - SCOTT!

WORKSHOP: “How’s Your Heart? Understanding Love in a Way That Changes Everything”

Facilitator: Scott Carson – Founder, The Business of Smiles

Most men go through life never being taught what love actually is.
Not romantic love real love.
The kind that shapes your decisions, your reactions, your peace, your relationships, and your sense of self.

Love is not big gestures.
Love is not words.
Love is a way of seeing and a way of showing up.

This workshop invites men to explore three simple but transformative pillars:

Acceptance. Understanding. Appreciation.

When we live from these three things:
• we stop fighting ourselves,
• we stop defending our pain,
• and we start meeting life with presence rather than pressure.

This is not a feelings workshop.
It’s a truth workshop.
A chance to pause, step out of performance mode, and ask the only question that cuts through the noise:

“How’s your heart… really?”

In This Session, We Will Explore
• What love actually is — and why men need a new definition
• Why acceptance is not giving up, it’s grounding
• How understanding softens conflict before conflict even begins
• Why appreciation builds connection faster than any “relationship tool”
• A guided check-in that reveals what your heart has been carrying

You won’t leave with rules.
You’ll leave with clarity — and a way of seeing yourself that feels spacious instead of heavy.

ABOUT SCOTT

Scott Carson is a heart-centred community leader, speaker, and founder of The Business of Smiles, a grassroots movement helping men reconnect to themselves and to each other through courage, conversation, and presence.

From growing up on the streets at 14 to running a not-for-profit supporting men in crisis, Scott’s life has been shaped by one truth:

Love is a choice.
And life changes when we choose it.

He has walked with hundreds of men through storms that can break a life open or shut a door permanently.
He has sat with blokes who have never spoken their truth.
And he has helped create spaces where men rediscover something they thought they had lost:
their heart, their hope, their inner smile.

Scott doesn’t teach theory.
He teaches lived experience, backed by presence, honesty and the belief that every man deserves a place where he can stop holding his breath.

His work and this workshop are grounded in the three foundations of real love:

Acceptance. Understanding. Appreciation.

And it all begins with one question:

“How’s your heart?”

ANNOUNCING AN AWESOME FACILITATOR FOR IOM #23 - BEN!
https://events.humanitix.com/iom23

WORKSHOP: Ignite Your Purpose through Unshakable Presence
Unshakable Presence for Your Inner World

When you intentionally choose Presence, you slow down.
You bring calm and quiet to a busy mind — the endless stream of thoughts about what you haven’t done, or judgments about what you have.

In that calm, space is created.
And in that space, the quieter voices emerge — your intuition, the guidance of your heart.

From here, insights can arise —
✨ What is my purpose?
✨ What truly matters to me now?

If you already have a purpose or mission, Presence helps you reconnect to the original fire that sparked it — and to the fuel that sustains it.

Without Presence, even the most meaningful mission can lose its warmth. Presence allows you to:
- Hear the whispers of your inner guidance
- Reignite your spark
- Feel your inner fire
- Create and serve from a place of alignment

How would your relationship feel if you brought full Presence — so your partner felt seen, heard, and felt?
What would it mean for your children to know that Dad is fully with them?

This workshop is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and ignite your purpose through Presence — so your inner fire fuels every part of your life.

ABOUT BEN
Ben Komisars, founder of Roar Impact Coaching.
His journey started with the awareness of the patterns of being withdrawn, disconnected. Seeing the impacts and costs of on his life! In many social situations and in relationships he would put up a wall and cut off connection.
The physical impacts were experiencing numbness and feeling of powerlessness.
At that time, he made a decision to do whatever it takes and look for something that takes him so far out of his comfort zone, to break the cycle of the withdrawn pattern and gain a new experience of
life! That first thing led to becoming an Or****ic Meditation Practitioner, then to ISTA retreats and many other personal growth courses and training including Warriors of Love program and the Coaching Institute.

Fast forward to now,
“I am so grateful to myself for taking that first step, what my body can do now is incredible!
My Purpose is to pass on my insights and learnings to other men to have a new experience of life.”
