The Importance of Identity and Contemplation

Jamie Winship is back to DREAM THINK DO!

You probably remember him from episode 354… but if not… here’s a little background on Jamie.

Jamie Winship was an award-winning police officer in Washington DC who went on to spend nearly 30 years living and working in some of the most dangerous conflict zones in the world.  

Jamie developed a unique process called the “Identity Method.” This process of identity transformation is the key to resolving inner conflict and acquiring new levels of learning… connection and creativity. 

His unconventional efforts to bring about societal and racial reconciliation has led him to Indonesia, Jordan, Iraq, Palestine, Israel and now… back to the U.S. 

Jamie and his amazing wife, Donna, are co-founders of Identity Exchange, a training and consulting agency that helps individuals and teams discover new levels of creativity and resiliency within the framework of true identity.

He’s worked with professional sports teams, business leaders, government officials, non-profit organizations, and many others. 

Since our last conversation… Jamie and Donna have ALSO partnered with Vossler Studios to create a new non-profit… called “The Encounter.”

It’s specifically designed to bring identity content & curriculum to schools and communities around the world.

And even though it’s brand new… they’re already fielding invitations to create films, apps, TV shows, and other media that will help repair the world.  It’s so cool!

We obviously have a LOT to talk about… so let’s get to this!

JOIN JAMIE AND MITCH on March 8th & 9th!

Jamie and Mitch will both be speaking at the upcoming Marketplace Collab Conference in Kingsport, Tennessee on March 8th and 9th.
