Dr. Goleman, award winning psychologist and international best-selling author of Emotional Intelligence, will be speaking on “How Leaders Can Drive High Performance in Organizations through Focus and Attention.”

Daniel Goleman is an internationally known psychologist and author who lectures frequently to professional groups, business leaders and on college campuses. His 1995 book, Emotional Intelligence was on The New York Times bestseller list for over a year and a half with more than 5,000,000 copies in print in 40 languages. Emotional Intelligence was named one of the 25 “Most Influential Business Management Books” by Time magazine.  In his latest book, Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence, Goleman argues that we must improve our focus to thrive in an ever-increasing complex world. Based on case studies in fields such as education, the arts, competitive sports and business, successful high performers must sharpen focus in three areas: Inner, Other and Outer Focus.  To improve habits, add new skills, and sustain excellence in focus, Goleman recommends mindfulness meditation, focused preparation and recovery from setbacks, continued attention to the learning curve, and positive emotions and connections

Performex^® CEO, Eric Bruce, commented, “We are pleased to help bring Daniel Goleman to the Orange County, CA area and look forward to hearing him share his latest learning. His on-going work with Emotional Intelligence is a foundational principle for our leadership development programs and coaching.”
