People are ruled by four primary behavior styles and when these styles are learned and understood we become empowered to recognize and interpret the motivations and fears underlying the behaviors of others. In other words, we're given the keys to the number one formula of success! As a result of this program participants will:

“I’ve sat through many keynotes. It’s very rare that a performer manages to capture my attention in a way that I can’t help but be a part of the performance and be a part of the audience, and this performance did that for me! I was caught along by some of the magic tricks, I was caught along by some of the jokes, and it really connects you to the message in a way that I don’t really get to see a lot, and getting to see that is really something that makes this conference amazing!”
