We have such a fun event in-store with behaviorist Christina Harbridge. Christina helps coaches, teams, and organizations in behavioral leverage, to understand and apply human biochemistry when dealing with irrational people – which is all of us.

Christina helps large organizations design systems that create and sustain the behaviors they keep trying to train in people. For those of you who have seen Christina at GLC or Xcentric, you know she’s a spirited speaker and storyteller. She will get us up out of our seats instead of passively writing in notebooks. She will teach us how to adopt a different approach to storytelling, which is tested, deliberate, and nuanced: Storytelling is about listeners, NOT the storyteller, a key factor so often missed.
