October 23 - Wednesday's Closing Session
What If and Why Not?
We hear it all the time, "We need to think outside the box," right? So... how exactly does one do that? In his hilarious, musically amazing, motivational session, Mike Rayburn does what no other presenter can do. Not only is he a world-class guitarist and stand-up comedian, he is an authority on personal development and human potential. In this energetic presentation, he uses his guitar and comedy to teach three simple, powerful tools attendees can use immediately and forever to access their unrealized potential, to look at old things in a new way, and to leap beyond their perceived limitations. These are the tools which took Mike from playing for seven people in a bar in Virginia to standing ovations at Carnegie Hall. They work for anyone and everyone, always.
