Brain Software:
Words That Change Minds
Everyone wants to interact with people who can think and communicate clearly, but much of the time, what we say seems to pass through a distortion field, causing unnecessary misunderstanding and frustration. Combining intellectual and entertaining content with fresh perspectives from linguistics, Ericksonian hypnosis, proxemics and neuroscience, Dr. Mike Mandel provides you with new skills that are easy to learn, and will help you communicate with clarity, recognize manipulation, reduce conflict, speak persuasively, and build relational bridges. Participants typically feel an immediate stress reduction, and relate how surprisingly well the techniques work in real life situations. The ability to converse intelligently and influentially is still an essential life skill, regardless of what fans of text-messaging and Twitter would have you believe.
Overcoming Stress in a Hostile World
We've all experienced the psychological and physiological tourniquet called stress which strangles performance and compromises our health. In this practical and informative keynote, Dr. Mike Mandel loosens the knots of stress with humour, and teaches you techniques drawn from his background as a hypnotherapist and martial arts instructor. Discover how reframing, submodality shifts, and breathing techniques, as well as incorporating nutritional and electromagnetic rebalancing, can restore the nervous system and reduce stress symptoms such as insomnia, high blood pressure and SMS (Stress Monkey Syndrome).
Chain Reaction Creativity
All aspects of life - our work, our relationships, even our leisure time, can become a rotisserie of boredom without fresh and innovative thinking. Imagine being able to break out of the same old patterns, generating new thoughts and concepts to create a great life. With the proper training, everyone can ignite creativity to spread brushfires of ideas, each one building upon the other to solve problems and bring about solutions. Creative people are interesting and compelling because their minds are always under construction. Dr. Mike Mandel has spent more than 30 years exploring all aspects of creativity, and has continuously redesigned his own life. He is an award winning comedic entertainer, wine judge, martial arts instructor, writer, graphoanalyst, professional speaker, and hypnosis trainer.

The clear highlight of our day was Mike's presentation. We found it engaging, informative, fun and useful. People talked about using some of his suggested techniques when they went home that evening - with great success! Our attendees enjoyed his presentation style and delivery as well as his humour and warmth. Please share with Mike our high level of satisfaction and the excellent feedback from our employee community. I would be very comfortable recommending Mike for other groups if asked.

What I particularly liked was that there was so much substance to his talk. Some talks are like Chinese food – you're left hungry shortly afterwards. Dr. Mandel's presentation was hearty fare – he really gave us tools we could use. The fact that he wrapped it up in such an enjoyable, funny presentation was pure gravy.

Over the years we have had many keynote speakers and presentations. I can tell you that without exception, our attendees as well as our entire executive board found Mike Mandel's Brain Software workshop the BEST presentation we've ever had! Not only does he have a very clever, humorous and engaging performance style, but the information gleaned along with the "tools" taught, made this something that will be very difficult to top at future conferences. We would highly recommend Mike Mandel and Brain Software to anyone!
