Have you ever stopped and watched what goes on around you in your surroundings? Whether it occurs in your neighborhood, at the airport or at a local sporting event, it’s bound to happen soon. People walking around like zombies. Everywhere! People wondering around aimlessly. People walking around and staring at their phones while they move with zero purpose. Zombies. The speaker for this session will share lessons from his adventures of traveling over 60-70 trips a year, which includes some of his mistakes and some of his observations. Some of what will be shared could have ultimately been fatal if the circumstances were right. Finally, the speaker will provide four tools to increase human performance and try to get rid of the zombie-like mindset much of us have adopted.

Attendee Takeaways:

1. Understand that no-one really is a zombie, but we all make zombie-like moves
2. Gain insight into why sharing mistakes is more important than hearing them
3. Become equipped with four tools to navigate poor human performance
