Unmask

your

ILLUSIONS

Elevate

your

PERFORMANCE

Your group's success as professionals depends on how well they perform at making decisions, solving problems, and getting things done.

​

But they can only perform at their best when they recognize and understand the mental shortcuts, cognitive distortions and reactive impulses that subvert their thinking. In other words - they need to unmask their illusions.

 

My programs provide methods and strategies for mitigating those illusions so your people can be more effective leaders, decision makers, and problem solvers.

​

The kicker is that with a background as a professional magician, I use interactive magic that not only wows the audience, but illustrates how our own minds can be tricked into fooling us.
