Learn more leadership, motivation, and influence Saturday!

This Saturday, August 23, 10am-5pm, I’ll lead a seminar with General Assembly on leadership in New York City. Register here, you’ll be glad you did. This is the seminar that led to this testimonial:

Josh, you may be interested to know I took out an Associate who will be working on my team and used your technique. She teared up, saying, no one ever asked her these questions and she is so grateful that I am taking an approach to her work based on what she likes and wants to do. It also revealed some of her deep fears and it was quite profound.

Invaluable, thank you.

I felt terrific afterward—in that she felt great and also that I felt I could get more out of her. She is also a friend, so I was conscious that she now reports to me… but that really was entirely neutralized in this conversation. Great stuff.

Other attendees report incredible effectiveness from these techniques, creating loyalty and gratitude in people they lead and satisfaction for themselves. If you read my blog, you know my style is

  • Simple, effective exercises
  • Learn by doing
  • Apply to your life

If you like that style, I hope to see you there. Please contact me if you have more questions.
Here is the announcement (they use short descriptions, for a fuller description, see this announcement from an earlier event):
