Meetology: Keynote session by Jonathan Bradshaw
Have you ever imagined how much more successful your next major business meeting or event would be if every attendee could list ‘social skills’ as one of their superpowers? When you do, it doesn’t take long to realise that the ability of attendees to connect, interact and communicate effectively with each other powers the most productive conferences and business events; but how can you be sure that they are competent in this crucial ability?
Meetology®: The Behavioral Science Powering Human Interaction – is a superb, memorable, engaging and interactive keynote that delivers practical, bite-sized nuggets of behavioral science. It offers practical tools and psychological insights into how you can connect more powerfully with everyone you meet, both at events and in every other professional aspect of your life.
