Mark is an articulate intuitive.  He knows that what people at every level of a company or organization don’t say often
determines their behavior more than what they do say.  More importantly, he directly addresses this elephant in the
room in a non-threatening way that opens the road to change, growth and breakthrough results.

Warren Bennis, Chairman of The Leadership Institute at USC
Are you a founder or CEO  who needs to get through to someone today?
How many conversations today will you try to get through to: customers, clients, employees, colleagues, bosses, directors, managers, vendors not to mention spouses, children, parents, friends and of course yourself? Probably a more appropriate question would be, how many conversations will you have today where you are not trying to get through to someone? The answer. Probably few. And after you get through, what next? How often do they change what they’re doing in a positive direction for both them and you?  What would be the effect on your and their productivity if they did?
