WHAT’S YOUR STORY?
Master the ultimate form of influence

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF SUCCESS

What are the psychological drivers of success? A Harvard study found only one key factor present in the star performers in sport, business, art and science - motivation. The problem is, for most people motivation is like a hot bath – it goes cold quickly. ‘The Psychology of Success’, won’t motivate your people, rather it will provide the psychological tools for self-motivation. Delegates will learn to:

• Lead and motivate themselves long after the presentation is over. 
• Lead others through the power of social motivation.
• Shift from self-defeating pessimism to rational optimism.
• Manage adrenalin and serotonin – the brain’s chemicals of success.
• Take and keep taking passionate action.
• Turn setbacks into stepping-stones.
• See service as a way of life rather than a corporate strategy.
• Discover four keys to unlocking the door to success.
• Channel their motivation to achieve career and company targets.

With a combination of cutting edge research, humor, entertaining stories and practical take-home tools, Justin will help your people unleash their psychology for success.
