SUMMARY:Ted Mouradian - Stop Trying to Control the Stream - Workshop
DESCRIPTION:PERSONAL MASTERY\n\nMost people go through life settling for what they can get and not getting what they truly want. They allow their needs and desires to go unfulfilled\, always feeling like someone else is controlling their life. Why? They are afraid because they don’t know how to take back ownership and control over their life. The Law of Cooperative Action™ Personal Mastery Programteaches users the critical human skills\, tools\, and principles that enable them to feel they are 100% in charge of their life and how they act and react to the people and world around them. \nFeeling stuck? The Law of Cooperative Action™ Personal Mastery Program\, powered by the concept of neutralization\, turns what many of us were taught as common sense into common practice. Because neutralizing the root sources of fear\, relationship breakdowns\, and interpersonal conflict leaves nothing to “resolve” or “manage”. \nPROGRAM OUTCOMES\n\nGreater confidence in every interaction\nBetter\, higher quality personal and professional relationships\nFull ownership and accountability for your life\nA more fulfilling\, happier\, stress-free life\n\nBio \nTed Mouradian has 40 years of business experience\, is past president and honorary life member of the Ontario Real Estate Association and received his degree in Sociology at Brock University. Ted has been a professional speaker for over 30 years\, he said he was five when he started. \nTed has written 3 books on the management of professional and personal relationships in the workplace\, and is currently completing a fourth. \nTed has worked with organizations throughout Canada\, the United States\, and Australia putting his proprietary and acclaimed Cooperative Action Model© into practice helping to create long-term\, sustainable behavioural change.\nTed is President and co-founder of The 2% Factor Inc. which provides the tools today’s professionals need to improve workplace relations\, eliminate conflict and bullying\, and create a highly desirable work environment that allows organizations to attract and retain top talent. \nWebsite: www.the2percentfactor.com \n

SUMMARY:Jeff Leeson - Comedian “The King of Crowd Work” and a “one of a kind performer”.
DESCRIPTION:Jeff Leeson has been described as “The King of Crowd Work” and a “one of a kind performer”.\nHis off the cuff\, improvisational\, electrifying style leaves crowds not only wanting more\, but stunned at what they just witnessed. While a lot of comics work to hone and craft an act that they can deliver verbatim to audiences night after night\, Jeff creates a brand new show every time based solely on the audience in front of him. \nJeff began his journey into comedy at the age of 14\, and now 17 years later is one of the best and brightest comics on the professional circuit. The brilliant thing about Jeff’s act is that no two shows are ever alike. His signature end of show “wrap-up”\, where he integrates all the audience members he has already talked to\, has been described as “human fireworks”. \nJeff’s stand up has been featured on Sirius/XM radio\, The Bob & Tom Show (WGN)\, MTV\, & iChannel\, and his improvisational style made him the perfect fit to host “London Tonight with Jeff Leeson” (RogersTV) and “The Inside Joke” (iChannel) and in 2017 Jeff is releasing his highly anticipated Comedy Special entitled “Off The Cuff”. \n
