The human brain is designed primarily for survival. We run a two million year old piece of softwar that interferes with our happiness, success, and fulfillment in all aspects of our lives. It's time to reprogram your brain for happiness and fulfillment.

Against all ods he beat the disease thanks to talented doctors, cutting edge mental techniques learned at the Olympic training center, and by the grace of God. When he did his whole life changed. He yearned to find out why.
He interviewed 35 of the world's top neuroscientists and psychologists over 500 CEOs, professional atheltes, Navy SEALs, and others to find out how they created a life of courage. What he learned will rock your world. In this inspirational presentation, Patrick will explain why we get stuck in a prison of less-than-peak performance. He will then equip audience members with tangible techniques based in neuroscience that will increase their success, power, and happiness.

The neuroscience behind winning sales organizations.
The top 1% of sales organizations have leaders who intuitively understand the neuroscience behind getting a team to consistently outperform their capabilities. Those leaders have found it through trial and error. There's a better way. Neuroscience. The reason why buyers sign a contract has more to do with parts of the brain you've probably never heard of but need to know - the Amygdala, The WOrking Memory, the Limbic System, the sgACC.
In one of the most engaging and entertaining keynote speeches Patrick Sweeney, the Fear Guru, will distill the neuroscience down to five actionable steps that should be at the heart of any high performing sales organization.
If you want to blow out your numbers, and fill up your funnel hire Patrick at your sales kick-off meeting and learn from his six years of neuroscience research with the top three dozen brian scientists in the world. If you're happy with the status quo, ignore the neuroscience and keep going with the trial and error.
