Thursday, September 30th, 2010Canadian Motivational Speakers Inspiration From Native Art
Thursday, September 30th, 2010#art #native #motivational - Although he couldn’t say about other Canadian motivational speakers, author and Karate World Champion Clint Cora lists native art as one of the best sources of inspiration. He even said this in a recent full day personal development seminar he conducted for a company in Brampton, Ontario.
People often need sources of inspiration for their personal goals or even day to day life and Clint Cora recited a list that he uses. This list of sources include motivational books, posters, blogs and art, especially native art from both the Pacific Northwest region and Arctic Canada.
Clint claims that it is incredible to see so much creativity in native art and in turn, it inspires him to succeed in his own personal and business goals. Clint told his audience that even Canadian motivational speakers like himself need inspiration on a regular basis. Without regular sources of inspiration, people will often forget about important principles of success and lose the drive required to become success in life.
This is one reason why Clint has built up a nice personal collection of native art from both the Pacific Northwest as well as from the Inuit communities in the Canadian Arctic. These pieces of artwork are displayed all over his home so that he sees them on a regular basis daily.
If you missed his special episode of his Clint Cora Motivational WebTV show that had a video tour of some of his native art collection, catch it at Canadian Motivational Speakers Native Art Tour.
Subscribers to Free Spirit Gallery’s monthly newsletter will also get to see this special episode on Monday directly in their emails. This will be the first time that most of the 7,000 plus free subscribers will see Clint’s personal art collection. It’s probably safe to say that out of all Canadian motivational speakers or even worldwide, Clint Cora has the most native art from the Pacific Northwest.
Beaver Native Drawing
Monday, September 27th, 2010#nativeamerican #beavers #native #art - Here is a Native beaver drawing called Beaver Legends by Noel Ducharme. Of course, I probably would have preferred such a drawing in colour rather than just black and white but that’s just my opinion. What about you?
Canadian Motivational Speaker Shows Native Art Collection
Sunday, September 26th, 2010#art #nativeamerican #native #aboriginal #firstnations #diversity
Canadian motivational speaker Clint Cora has an online video show each week and in a recent episode of Clint Cora Motivational WebTV, he talked about how one can increase exposure to multicultural diversity through art. This is one of the ways that he had originally been turned onto the world of diversity and made him want to explore other cultures around him.
Clint got interested in some beautiful artwork of certain cultures and in turn, became interested in the cultures behind the art. This is why art is an excellent route to explore diversity. In addition to being a Canadian motivational speaker, Clint Cora is also a speaker on diversity now too.
Becoming well versed in diversity skills which help you in becoming effective with people from all sorts of cultures and diversity groups is now considered an important component in achieving success in today’s diverse environment. Art and food (as shown in a previous Clint Cora Motivational WebTV episode about Chinese food) are both effective and fun ways to increase diversity awareness.
In this Motivational WebTV episode, Canadian motivational speaker Clint Cora also takes you on a tour of some of the art in his personal collection at home which includes pieces from several different cultures. Here is the video below.
You will notice that he has quite a lot of Native Aboriginal and Inuit art in his collection as he’s huge fan of these genres of art. If you have never seen much of these types of cultural art before but are intrigued by their styles, you can be more exposed to them by visiting either a separate Native art Facebook page set up or of course this Native art blog. Clint Cora even offers two different ebooks on native art for free on those sites.
We hope you enjoy this episode and maybe it might spark an interest in ethnic art in you as well. Feel free to comment on this video as well as any of the artwork shown here. Just comment below or at the Canadian Motivational Speaker Facebook page where we hope you will hit the Like button.

First Nations Art On Canadian Coin
Friday, September 17th, 2010#coins #canada #canadian #firstnations #nativeamerican - Here’s a 25 cent Canadian coin that features a Northwest Native design by Native artist Jason Edward Read. It’s called a Tribute To First Nations. I haven’t actually had any such Canadian quarters in my hand anytime recently but it was from 1999. There have been other First Nations art on Canadian coins since then and I will post them here soon.
