These four people are international leading edge thinkers and presenters in the world of human performance enhancement. They are coming together on 27 November to provide you with understanding, concepts, strategies and behaviours that are critical to equip leaders and influencers in these turbulent times. Not only will they enable you to ignite elite levels of performance that will allow your people and organisation to rise above the turbulence of the current environment, they will also set new standards for future business practise.

Allan Parker (Peak Performance Development) has decided to provide this unique opportunity by bringing four of the most powerfully minded presenters that he knows together at one time in one place. These people have been his personal role models and mentors over the last 20 years. Bringing them together will give his clients a level of input beyond what he alone can offer, or knows exists in the market place, in these challenging times.

Quote from Allan Parker, event organiser and host:

'I believe that these are four of the six people I know who will provide the level of insight, depth of knowledge and experience, and profound behaviour change that these times are calling for. To not take this opportunity to bring this valuable resource to you is for me not a choice.'

Colin James:
Adaptive Thinking – Succeeding in Rapid Change

Colin James is often described as Australia's leading trainer and presenter in the field of leadership and communication (www.colinjames.com.au).

Colin will explore the adaptive thinking process given the demands of our current world and the importance of quality thinking and decision-making.

He will take you on a journey of both the analytical western thought process, challenging its usefulness in this fluid and ambiguous world, whilst exploring a newer type of thinking that is adaptive in real time and not bound by context, the past, traditional limitations or even culture.

This session will provide skills to raise awareness and understanding of whole brain thinking thus creating a whole new level and order of mental capacity.

Dr Stephanie Burns:
Creating New Levels of Achievement and Learning

Dr Stephanie Burns is a world leader in the field of adult learning and deep skill development and transference (www.stephanieburns.com)

In this session Dr Stephanie Burns will bring a new thought provoking perspective to performance achievement and the failure of it. She will take a critical look at what inhibits our high levels of performance and goal achievement.

She will do this by exploring the three critical factors that get in our way and prevent us from fulfilling the goals we set, and the achievements we aspire to, yet fall short of.

She will look at procrastination, avoidance and distraction through new eyes with clarity around practical ways to create higher quality achievement and how to employ the behaviours that deeply affect productivity each day.

You will come away from this session with:

Marvin Oka:
A New Order of Strategic Leadership

Marvin Oka is an internationally acclaimed expert in the field of shifting beliefs at a deep level, creating lasting behaviour change, who works specifically with senior executive teams (many web references - search on google).

Marvin Oka will bring a sharp intellect and a honed sense of reality into the world of strategic leadership. He will stimulate you to ask questions that go beyond your day-to-day level of enquiry about your role, your organisation and how you lead it.

He will take you beyond the world of conventional beliefs and assumptions about business, organisations and leadership into the world of living systems and self organising communities. From this expanded vantage point, you will find yourself reviewing your decisions, behaviours and business strategies with penetrating insight for transformational change.

Marvin will help you to explore how you can profoundly enhance your leadership perspective in ways that result in new choices, new conversations, and organic strategies for cultural engagement throughout your organisation.

You will come away from this session with:

Amanda Gore:
Sparking Spirit in Times of Change

Amanda Gore is Australia's most internationally sought after and entertaining conference speaker in the field of change, connection, engagement and their impact on organisational culture (www.amandagore.com).

In this session Amanda Gore will be thought provoking, mind stretching and heart touching with her world-renowned blend of laser intellect and riotous humour.

This session will look at a variety of issues including some of the latest research on neuro-plasticity and how change and learning are essential for our brains which can grow and improve over time - we can change. She will take a glimpse at the world of emotional intelligence, mental and behavioural resilience and how to ignite both high levels of performance and lift the spirit of individuals, teams and organisations going through turbulent and changing time.

She will explore the areas of engagement, connection, focus, attention, repetition and celebration in the change process. And in her fun filled creative way she allows us to see that for optimum performance head and heart need to dance together.

All of this will take place in between outbursts of laughter and though provoking exercises.

28 November, Sydney
Managing Information Overload, Enhancing Productivity conducted by world authority Dr Stephanie Burns

In times of pressure getting more done in less time is the most available method of enhancing productivity with the exception of stimulating new thought processes. Managing information overload and enhancing productivity will provide you with both. Processing data, reading emails, reading documentation, getting through key and important books, deciphering complex communications are challenges that are before all of us.

If an adult has not, at some time during adult life, had the opportunity to learn new methods and activities around managing information, such as, reading, researching, remembering, concentration and utilisation of information these skills often remain at the level and quality that was learnt at school.

This 1 day program will provide you with those new strategies and skills. What would be the value to you and your organisation if you could:

  1. Process more information
  2. Understand how to organise it in such a way that others could take it in and understand it even more quickly than you have
  3. Understand how to read information and install it in your own brain and thought process to made it easier for you to re-access
  4. Be able to see more clearly what the process is that enables you to do the above so that you can repeat it
  5. Hold concentration for longer, require fewer breaks and be more mentally alert and efficient
  6. Scan or skim a document rapidly to find specific information that you are searching for
  7. To understand how to create a resourceful state physically, mentally and emotionally to enhance your performance in all of the above
  8. Be more confident in your own mental processes to be able to do all of the above.

This one day program, conducted by world authority, Dr Stephanie Burns and hosted by Allan Parker, will provide you with an understanding and experience that will allow you to deepen and expand your current awareness and skills in the above areas.

One day in this course will enhance your ability in a way that will save you 10 days in the next year.

Quote from Allan Parker, event organiser and host:

'There are 3 primary things I would say about Dr Stephanie Burns. One is that she is clearly one of the world's authorities on turning adult learning into personal skill transformation; two is that she is, based on her results, one of the finest educators and presenters in the world today; and three is that, at a personal level, she was the major catalyst in my own learning disability break-through. Her work allowed me to stimulate significant enhancements in my ability and speed to gather, remember and process information which has served me to this day.'
