Empowering Your Hidden Genius

Event Description:

Discover how to refine your communications skills for every aspect of your life! Join us for a fun and informative presentation that will reveal an intuitive framework for understanding human nature.

During this deeply insightful yet entertaining talk, speaker and author Dan Silvert will illustrate the four basic drivers of human personality using the metaphor of Eagles, Parrots, Doves, and Owls. This awareness provides powerful approaches to improving communication and connection with the relationships that matter most in both your professional and personal lives.

How do people react the moment you walk into the room? Why do some respond to your social media, online posts, or emails while others are ignored? Understanding such dynamics uncovers sophisticated ways of better connecting with and inspiring everyone whom you encounter in today’s fast-paced, mobile world.

If you manage others, this talk will reveal predictive insights around the hidden strengths and challenges of your employees. You will understand how they handle stress, share information, manage their time, and determine priorities.

If you are part of a team, the styles will reveal how the collective strengths and blind-spots of your group are likely to play out, and what you can do to improve communication and productivity.
