Mind. Blown. The Eye-Opening Science of High-Conversion Engagement

How do businesses, marketers, and leaders tune communication to appeal to the decision-making mind? What are the biases fighting against your best-laid communication plans?

How do you communicate to connect, rather than creating communication that just adds to the noise?

Merging the fields of communication, marketing, neuroscience, psychology and behavioral science, Mind. Blown. will open your eyes to new ways to communicate to be heard by both the conscious and non-conscious mind.

Because we have never lived in a more noisy and competitive age:
• Cognitive overload forces us to use more precise tools to create communication that connects and convert.
• Understand how to communicate to positively affect decision making.
• Understand how to engage intellectually and emotionally at the same time, while overcoming all the modern-day interferences drowning you out.
