Insightful and entertaining keynote and breakout programs to help leaders and professionals elevate their performance, focus and decision making
UNMASK your
ILLUSIONS
ELEVATE your
PERFORMANCE
Your organization's success depends on the ability of your people to make great decisions.
The quality of their decision performance is directly related to how well they can unmask and navigate their cognitive illusions - the hidden shortcuts, biases and reactive impulses that nudge them away from their goals and values.
As "The "De-illusionst" my programs focus on recognizing and outsmarting those subversive illusions so your people can be better leaders, more productive, and less prone to errors that can negatively subvert their effectiveness.
My unique bonus is that as a former professional magician I infuse an energizing and fun element into my programs by demonstrating how easily our own cognitive illusions can trick us.
