TITLE: The New Math (A Formula For Success)
DESCRIPTION:
This RoxTalk explores the human brain and how our hard wiring creates barriers to our success and
happiness. With the use of a simple 'formula for success', the audience is guided through some basic
concepts of behavioral psychology and how attitudes both positive and negative are formed. The
talk leads to a better understanding of how our brains work and how to get out of our way. This is
eye-opening, fun and engaging event that can be a real game changer in the way people think about
themselves and others, leadership, success and personal growth.

I have been using this formula for over 13 years to help people and teams understand the aspects of
self-sabotage, the imposter syndrome and how we deal with 100,000 years of DNA evolution of the
human brain. Its a fun talk but also very powerful.
