About the Event

“This Leadership Intensive has become the baseline foundation of our company’s industry-leading growth and financial performance.” – Brian Bates, EAS Tire & Auto CEO and Straightaway Tire & Auto co-founder


PEOPLE RARELY OPTIMIZE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL IN LIFE OR CAREER...


For centuries leadership theory has focused on how leaders could get more from their teams, for the organization’s benefit - coercing, manipulating, or forcing individuals to work ever-harder. This never works well, because humans naturally push back when pushed.


Modern neuropsychology and business science combine to offer a proven, superior leadership approach. This highly-esteemed Leadership Intensive course teaches business owners and key leaders how to motivate team members from within themselves. And how to design your organization to create repeat-championship teams that deliver continuous, record-setting operational and financial results.


IN THIS INTENSIVE WE'LL COVER:

  • Building an Industry-Leading Company

  • Brain Function: Hardware & Software

  • Inner Motivations: Needs & Wants

  • The Impact of Beliefs & Self-Talk

  • Boosting Self-Image & Confidence

  • Goal-Setting & Performance Acceleration

  • Overcoming Negativity & Procrastination

  • Mastering Skills Through Adult Learning

  • Effective Leadership & Communication
