Brain Software: Words that Change Minds: Learn to diffuse conflict, motivate, transform and inspire

One of the most challenging aspects of HR is learning to effectively manage interpersonal conflict within teams – however, it's also one of the most important. In this session, learn to remove resistance, handle conflict, discharge negative emotions and build long-term relationships within your team and your organization at large. Learn how you can help your organization maximize productivity and teamwork while minimizing the risk of conflict, counterproductive behavior and interpersonal problems in the workplace, all while building a strong corporate culture that makes your organization an employer of choice.

Drawing from neurolinguistics, martial arts, and psychology, you will learn:

Effortless ways to change your own state to gain buy-in from others in an organization
Clear communication that facilitates understanding and compliance within an organization
How to work effectively with different individuals' work styles within an organization by minimizing personality weaknesses and maximizing strengths
Using effective language to diffuse conflict and build bridges to connect with others in the organization

An enlivening keynote speaker, Mike Mandel is known for being simultaneously fascinating and hilarious.

Widely regarded as the world’s greatest hypnotist, Mike Mandel has 18 nominations and 6 awards for excellence in entertainment. In June 2000 he was presented with the COCA Hall of Fame Award, previously won by Sarah McLaughlin, the Tragically Hip and Jim Carrey.
