Listen as Lauren Pichardo shares Leveraging The Power Of Your Subconscious Mind a motivational talk with AGC. 

Your subconscious rules 95% of your every move. The beliefs you maintain from your culture, family, relationships, and past literally rule every ounce of what you do. Everything you touch, see, taste, hear, experience is filtered through this lens. When you mindfully navigate this part of your life and implant beliefs that benefit you, it is completely possible to create a fulfilling life, pursue your purpose, and to pour your energy in ways that matter most. 

- Subconscious Rules your life: 

1. Origins of beliefs 

2. You are your past. 

3. You don't know what you don't know. 

4. The power of repetition 

- Tools and techniques to shift your paradigm, and create a life you love. 

1.  Brain Waves 

2.  Mind-Body Connection - Yoga, Breathing Exercises (Somatic) 

3.  Affirmations and Meditations 

4.  Confidence building, taking actions through goal setting, morning routine, exercise 

5.  The power of Community and honing in on healthy relationships 

6. The power of "No" - aligning with your truth. 

Speaker Bio: 

As a self-proclaimed psychology nerd with a University of Houston Psychology degree to prove it, Lauren has been on a quest for self-improvement psychologically since she can remember and has been successful at ending generational trauma in her family line for the sake of her daughter. Originally wanting to pursue either sex/family/marriage therapy as a career, she decided she couldn't seem to fit into societal' s ideas of what it meant to fit into these limited roles (in her eyes). She always felt there were pieces missing in traditional therapy settings so she sought out for a truth that was more aligned with her vision -- a more holistic approach to well-being. Leading by example with her daughter, now 7 and watching her every move, she is passionate about empowering others by implanting the beliefs that we are each limitless and can create whatever our hearts desire... with the proper tools and action/support.

Listen as Curphy Smith shares Carnivore Mindset a motivational talk with AGC. It doesn't matter if you are an established business or just getting started, a failing business or successful business. 

EVERYONE WANTS MORE SUCCESS! 

• More revenue. 
• More sales leads. 
• More profits. 
• More capital. 

However, it is a house of cards waiting to fall if your own personal self is not in order. 

I know because I have been there. 

The good news is you have everything you need... yourself. 

I take radical change seriously. I want to share with you my Carnivore Mindset that helps you evolve in the way of your thinking about yourself, your business, and your relationships in business and your personal life that will manifest success and happiness. 

The objective of the talk is to motivate you to become better leaders, understand how to create better relationships at home, work, and with your clients, by developing a winning mindset, that will help you live a healthier lifestyle, create and execute your brand, build wealth, drive revenues, and improve profits! 

Speaker Bio: 

I have a had a long and successful career in banking. I am a former COO/CFO of an 8-figure international e-commerce and distribution company; owner of a few businesses; created, managed, and led very successful sales teams; and I have worked with business owners and business of all sizes for my entire career. 

I am not some Social Media guy who bought into some fancy business guru process you find on the internet then go to Vegas over a long weekend to be certified an expert. 

In fact, the only thing I am an expert of is that I'm a lifelong student of business, sales, finance, and life. 

Therefore, my certifications come from not only someone who has seen and done it, but also from someone who has also failed at it. 

However, in case you were wondering, I have a BS from Eastern Illinois University, presently obtaining my IMBA from the University of Illinois, and I have certifications in Understanding Financial Statements: Company Position, Financial Accounting: Advanced Topics, and Financial Accounting: Foundations from the University of Illinois as well. I have completed courses in Awareness and CashCOR, Credit Risk Identification, Initial Credit Education Curriculum, Uncovering Cash, and the Omega Performance Financial Accounting for Lenders. Northwestern University has certified me in Organizational Leadership Structure and West Virginia University has given me a certificate in Forensic Accounting. I am a QuickBooks Pro Advisor and I have a certification as a Social Media Marketing Professional as well as a Digital Marketing "Blueprint Certificate" from Facebook. I have attended and graduated from the Cohen Brown Extraordinary Sales Leadership training program and received the MZ Bierly Sales Management Certification. 

Now that we have critiqued my resume let me tell you about business. When it comes to business, the one reoccurring theme I have discovered in every one of the businesses that I have worked with, for, and with my own past experiences is that every one of the owner's, including myself, didn't know what they didn't know.
