THE LEADERSHIP INTENSIVE SERIES, MARCH, 2026

“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
