Professionals are paid to think and make decisions. The quality of our work depends on the quality of our decisions. Unfortunately, we are beset by subconscious illusions that interfere with our ability to make decisions that move us towards our goals and reflect our values.

These illusions - cognitive biases, mental shortcuts, and other reactionary impulses - hinder our leadership skills, our productivity and creativity, as well as our ability to create a positive and trust-based culture.

I will help your listeners become familiar with some of the cognitive illusions they may not be aware of so they can outsmart them and improve their decision performance.

Steve Haffner is a mental performance and productivity expert. He had a 30-year corporate career as a programmer, systems engineer, executive and business analyst for companies such as E.D.S., Mercer, and Humana.

In 2011 Steve left the corporate world to launch his own business as a magician and mentalist, and now presents keynote and workshop presentations for associations and businesses.

Steve’s experiences as a corporate professional, executive, business owner and magician give him a unique perspective on how subconscious illusions influence our decision making.

Using research from the fields of psychology and behavioural economics, Steve helps audiences elevate their decision performance and improve their personal and professional success.

The 7 Secrets to Reading People

https://www.alanstevens.com.au/7secrets/

We’ve heard it said, “There’s no ‘I’ in Team!” But when did being a good leader mean putting yourself last? Effective leadership does not mean losing personally. In fact, I believe that the best leaders prioritize themselves and their own wellbeing.

Business owners, whether we are a business of one who is trying to support our families or our fur-babies or we have 100s of employees, we have GOT to start putting our mental health first - period.

Archie Messersmith-Bunting, M.S., The Feelings Guy™, is a mental wellness coach, consultant, and professional speaker who helps people discover how leading with their feelings can improve their quality of life and save the lives of those they come in contact with.

Archie was a successful musical theatre performer in New York City before addiction and clinical depression destroyed his childhood dream and led him to a place where he believed suicide was his only answer. After battling back from the jaws of addiction, Archie now uses the stages he graces to remind others that we are all more than "just" the wreckage of our past. He uses his voice to share with audiences that individual moments and decisions in our life do not define us, but they can help design us.

Early in my entrepreneurship journey, I was faced with an interesting dilemma. I knew my target audience, but I realized that within that audience was two niches. I had one group that valued my product, begging me to customize it for their needs. And they were willing to buy it no matter the cost. I had another group that followed my work and showed immense interest in my product, but they couldn't see investing in my product. Instead, they wanted to learn how to make one themselves. They valued my product, but they didn't have the budget -- or didn't see the need to invest in it.

I learned then that there are two subsets of most audiences -- those that value time over money and those that value money over time. As a marketer, I've learned the importance of creating offerings -- whether that's products or services -- that cater to each of these niches within your target audience.

Throughout her life, Stephanie Feger's been in the business of empowering people. She’s empowered her teams to collective success. She’s empowered individuals, groups and organizations to embrace perspective as a tool for deeper satisfaction and personal and professional accomplishments. And she’s empowered authors, small business owners and entrepreneurs with communications and marketing strategies to help them reach their goals.

Stephanie Feger has always believed that we hold the power to our own success, and she’s determined to help others uncover that power. However, it was a dream — literally — that left her with the charge to reframe how she saw her own life and encourage others to do the same. That dream pushed her to redefine her own success, re-evaluate her personal goals and turn her “what-ifs” into “why-nots.”

After working in the communications and marketing industry for more than 15 years, Stephanie decided to merge her unique expertise with her life’s passions so she could empower people in many ways, including empowering those who sought to empower others. Stephanie is an author, speaker, and the founder and chief strategist at the emPower PR Group where she provides customized coaching and consulting to authors, small business owners and entrepreneurs, ensuring those who need to hear their empowering message can and do!
