This interactive hands-on presentation shows you how the new brain research can be used to fashion simple but powerful tools that can help your client move on. Dr. Ricci will introduce new tools, reaffirm and update some traditional approaches and challenge some others. You will leave with a wealth of materials for you and your clients and a list of things you can try tomorrow.
