Most people freeze up or freak out in the moments that matter most i.e. when someone says “I’m not ok”. However, we shouldn’t be leaning out of conversations that could change or save lives by understanding a few key fundamentals of human psychology.

In this keynote, Mitch empowers the audience to discover the root cause of their inability to help someone properly and learn exactly what it takes to eliminate that forever. The audience will move from feeling shame that they’ve let someone down in critical moments, to feeling completely fulfilled and confident that they are communicating therapeutically as an emotional ally.

Topics and outcomes:

• The #1 clinical study that illustrates the hidden secret of connection

• The 3 attachment styles that negatively affect your interpersonal relationships and how to identify them

• The “Golden Ratio of Support” that can 2x your ability guide someone through a difficult time

• The 4 personas of care-less communication that erodes trust and leads to distance instead of strength

• The #1 metric of a therapeutic conversation to avoid falling into the pitfall of rupture

• Top 10 mistakes that 90% of us make when trying to be helpful or supportive, without knowing it can make others feel worse
