Pastor Sergio De LaMora is the lead pastor of Cornerstone Church in San Diego and the author of The Heart Revolution. His mission is to turn the hearts of youth and families all over the world back to God and back to each other.

On Wednesday, I had the chance to hear Pastor Sergio speak in one of the Catalyst Lab sessions. His leadership speech stirred me up. My hope is that today he does the same in the main session of Catalyst. Be prepared to be blown away by the pastor of the largest Latino led church in San Diego.

His book, The Power Of Habit, has changed the way we think about habits. Get ready for some great leadership lessons from Duhigg.

We’re living in a golden age of how habits work and what affects our brains. This session may go very well with Dr. Caroline Leaf’s session yesterday.

There was once an experiment done with rats. The scientist took multiple rats and implemented brain activity sensors into their brains. After the rats recovered, the rats were placed into a maze 150 different times to see how their brains would react.

The scientists discovered something amazing. After the 150th time, the rat’s brain almost shuts down as it repeats the same thing and at the end the brain kicks back on.  Read more...
