Challenge Assumptions and Get Unstuck

What you know for certain could be exactly why you’re stuck.

The thinking, processes, and attitudes that got you where you are have served their purpose. You’ve found lots of right answers and developed systems to get stuff done. That’s great as long as things are going as expected. But these past few years have taught us just how unpredictable the world really is. Now it’s time to shift our thinking and take the next steps to succeed.

By challenging our assumptions, we can move past our preconceived notions of the ‘right answers.’ Perhaps more than at any time in history, we need to find new ways of thinking and doing things.

As always I use eye-popping magic, stories, and optical illusions as powerful visual metaphors to create a sense of wonder and astonishment. This is not only thoroughly engaging and fun, but research shows that there’s a transformative power in wonder and awe. It empowers each person in the room to apply the learning to their own lives.

Keynote or workshop participants will learn…

… how to get out of the “same-old-thinking-rut” and find new solutions

… how to identify and challenge the limiting assumptions that hold us back

… how to see the world from new perspectives so they can get unstuck.

The Key to Clear Communication and Compelling Leadership

Empathy is the key to creating a better world.

What if you could magically see the world through someone else’s eyes?

In our increasingly individualized society, it can be so easy to forget that your ‘truth’ isn’t universal. What’s obvious to you might be invisible to others (and vice-versa.)

With over 20 years of experience creating and delivering presentations for a wide spectrum of audiences; I understand the vital importance of seeing the world from others’ perspectives.

In this program, I use magic, optical illusions, and interactive exercises to illustrate the transformative power of empathy. I’ll demonstrate the fallibility of our narrow perspective and teach practical tools to widen our understanding of others’ needs and motivations.

This thought-provoking program will empower participants to see the world from fresh perspectives, unlocking new levels of leadership, communication, and collaboration.

Leaders, sales professionals, and anyone who works with others will learn…

…how to truly listen and ask better questions before offering solutions.

…how to overcome the barriers to empathy to create better relationships.

…how to build a bridge of understanding and collaboration.

Thriving Through Positive Psychology

Based on rigorous scientific research, the field of Positive Psychology is devoted to the study of what makes for a flourishing life. In this fun and informative session, I will explain the PERMAH model (Positivity, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, Achievement, and Health) and show how you can put it to use at work and home to help you not only survive but thrive.

In an increasingly complex and hectic world, people are becoming more and more stressed, depressed, and overwhelmed. Fortunately, the field of positive psychology provides us with tools to counter these trends so we can flourish.

Moving beyond the science, you’ll get hands-on experience with practical tools and techniques to help you not only survive, but thrive.

As always, I’ll use some powerful magic as a visual metaphor to illustrate the transformative power of this exciting field.

Positive Psychology is NOT ‘happy-ology’ or dry academic theory. Participants in this interactive program will learn…

… practical techniques to improve quality of life, mental health and physical vitality.

… how to identify and harness your strengths to produce better results with less effort.

… strategies to increase connection and collaboration at work at home.
