The Streamline Method.™
As a lifelong professional swimmer, I learned the power of momentum. When you dive into a 50-meter pool, you face over 660,000 gallons of water resistance. However, by using a technique called streamlining a swimmer can reduce the force of resistance. This is so effective, swimming competitions limit this technique to the first 15 meters of a race.
Throughout my career, I learned you can harness the same momentum gained by using streamlining in business—and life. Today, I speak around the world teaching organizations how to move beyond obstacles and remove friction. The result, a proactive team that achieves goals.
Keynote

With only a few simple changes, you’ll learn how to reduce resistance to change, move beyond obstacles, and build a proactive team.
