Aspiria Sponsors Upcoming EAPAT Seminar
Aspiria is proud to sponsor to the Employee Assistance Program Association of Toronto’s upcoming seminar called “Leadership Magic – An Exploration of Influence, Connection, & Empowerment”.
Special Guest Dam Trommater isn’t your ordinary miracle worker. During this informative and most entertaining session, Dan will show you how leaders can enhance relationships and lead more effectively by applying the philosophy and tactics of professional magicians.
A good leader must be able to influence a team toward a common goal. Without the support and buy-in of the team, even the best-laid plans are destined for failure.
Magicians are masters of influence. Using physical tenchiques and psychological principles, exper magicians can create an atmosphere where anything is possible. The expert leader can put these same techniques and mindsets to work in order to empower a team and influence them for a common good.
This session will help you:
- get different perspectives on the people and issues in your organization
- approach problems from new angles
- question and challenge your assumptions
- build better relationships
- redefine what’s possible
- examine the power dynamics within your organization
Audience members will get an insider’s view into the thinking behind world-class magic and see how magicians work with the audience to create an experience of wonder. They will then apply the tactics and philosophy to their own leadership challenges in order to create better connections in order to influence and empower their teams.
Dan Trommater has over 12 years experience working with organizations that want a unique approach to leadership and change. His uniqueness comes from his use of magic to reinforce and illustrate key ideas and concepts critical to leaders (no matter where they are in the organization). Audiences are engaged and entertained by the magic, but it’s the powerful ideas that Dan communicates that they’ll remember (and put to use) long after the session has ended.
This session qualifies for 1 CE credit. Certificate of Attendance available at the registration table upon request.
