My groundbreaking research shows the four factors that hold people back from being curious and how to improve their levels to be more engaged, productive, and innovative at work.

How to build inter-generational cooperation to avoid conflict

• Strategies for overcoming the factors that impact the perception process

Testimonials (1)

I had the opportunity to attend Dr. Hamilton’s speaking events, and I have read her books. I was impressed with how much knowledge she had in many aspects of business and relationships. She connects well with her audience. She uses humor and examples with which participants can relate. I enjoyed her sessions on emotional intelligence, self-marketing, social media, and leadership. She is very approachable and uses the Q&A session to address everyone’s personal issues. I highly recommend her.
