• Meet the Author - Peter Demarest - Answering the Central Question - in partnership with MTA

  • When
    11 Oct 2018
  •  
    6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
  • Location
    Pyramid Club 1735 Market St Philadelphia, PA 19103

  Join L&D Philly and our partner - Theresa Hummel-Krallinger - for her monthly Meet the Author series this October. This month, Theresa features local business & training leader Peter Demarest to chat about his latest book - "Answering the Central Question".

  
  

  Description:

  
  

  Breakthrough: “A significant shift in thinking that removes barriers, reveals possibilities, and leads to unprecedented results.”

  When was the last time you experienced a breakthrough?

  George Bernard Shaw wrote: “Progress is impossible without change and those who cannot change their thinking cannot change anything.”

  In other words, breakthrough results require breakthrough thinking.

  Our featured author for this evening, Peter Demarest, is the author of Answering The Central Question. He is a leading pioneer in the science and application of neuro-axiology (brain science + value science) and the co-founding president of Axiogenics, LLC.

  Endorsing Peter’s book, Stephen R. Covey (of 7 Habits of Highly Effective People fame) wrote: “Every once in a while, a book comes along that fundamentally shifts our perspective of what life, love, and leadership are all about – it’s ALL about adding value! Based in the groundbreaking science of applied neuro-axiology, this book reveals the how-to principles for … creating a truly extraordinary life.”

  If you want to create an extraordinary life or breakthrough results in any aspect of your life or work, there are three things you need to do:

  • Learn the basic principles of value dynamics
    
  • Adopt a “valuegenic” mindset
    
  • Develop the skills of Cognitive Self-Leadership
    

  Touching on the science, but focusing on actionable principles and practices, Peter’s first goal for this evening is that attendees will experience “a significant shift in thinking that removes barriers, reveals possibilities, and leads to unprecedented results.” His second goal is to provide attendees with a set of three simple, but powerful, practices that they can put to immediate work in their daily life to help them produce those unprecedented results.

  Whether you are looking to improve some aspect of own life or are an executive leader seeking to take your entire organization to new levels of performance, this promises to be an evening of extraordinary value.

  Moment of Truth: Not all business professionals get access to unlimited budgets. Okay, no one really does. Somewhere, sometime, we all end up searching for a tool or resource to help us get the job done. Not all tools, though, bring the same value. And every job requires a different tool or toolkit. So where can we find the best free or low-cost resources to help us achieve our goals? Well, we could spend countless hours searching on the internet. Or posting in vein on LinkedIn. But wouldn't it be awesome to find things from our peers - to hear and see what others use when their budgets run dry?

  Join the Learning & Development professionals for this one of a kind event in November. Open mic time! Bring your favorite tool(s) and get 5-7 minutes to talk about it in front of your peers, showcasing how it works and how it helps you claim "mission accomplished". Topics include:

  • Project Management Tools
  • Timelines
  • e-Learning Development Tools
  • Other development tools
  • Audio/Video editing
  • Text to speech tools
  • Stock - Photos, Video, Sound, etc - 
  • Budget & project tracking
  • Other ideas?

  
  

  Everyone who registers and wants to demo a product - please contact us at info@ldphilly.com We'll provide you with a rubric to follow so you stay within your allotted time and provide the most value to your peers as you demonstrate your wares.
