1. People Joy

This amazing keynote includes live demonstrations, laughter and ‘takeaway’ insights you can put into practice straight away.
2. Cold Reading For Business
Ian Rowland is one of the world’s foremost experts on ‘cold reading’. This term normally refers to the psychic industry and means ‘how to talk to people as if you’re psychic’. However, Ian shows that you can adapt some of the communication psychology of cold reading to other contexts, such as sales and management, in an ethically positive way. Learn the secrets of instant rapport and credibility, and how to make a complete stranger feel as if you understand them completely.
