In this presentation Michael uses an engaging and entertaining approach to present a practical, “no touchy-feely” set of tools to help us take a refreshing and often surprising look at the one essential thing we are rarely trained to do: developing how we communicate with ourselves. 

This affects our growth, resiliency, and the building of strong relationships. We’ll learn how we unconsciously hold ourselves back and unnecessarily limit our choices. It includes Michael’s “Reverse Engineering” two-step method to identify and expand successful tools to work effectively with others — and you’ll get a resource with 200 specific examples. You will be recharged and revitalized!

Houdini's Greatest Secret Was That There Was One
Unlocking & Unblocking the Path to Personal & Organizational Success

Harry Houdini performed escapes and illusions that were so unbelievable that many intelligent people believed these amazing feats could be only performed with supernatural powers. You’ll be surprised to learn what Houdini did to prove them wrong. His legend still fascinates and entertains us—but we can learn some surprising and highly useful techniques from his approach to challenge, problem-solving, competition, innovation, and achieving the top goals that may seem unreachable.
