Most people know what they want to say.
Very few know how to say it in a way the brain listens.

That gap is where careers stall, sales collapse, teams resist, boards drift, and opportunities disappear.
The disconnect happens fast.
In the first 3 seconds.

I teach Human Influence and the mechanics of that moment.

The 3-Second Sale is the split-second where someone decides to trust you, follow you, or buy from you.
It has nothing to do with persuasion and everything to do with how the nervous system reads your presence, your voice, and your intent.

I am one of the only people who teaches both the neuroscience of that moment and how to execute it in real-world, high-stakes environments.

Why my work is different:

I am Master Certified in
• RRT (Rapid Resolution Therapy). I can identify and clear threat responses at the neurological level
• NLP. I understand cognitive patterning and the language structures that shape decision-making

And I closed 140 million dollars in Fortune 100 sales, proving that influence is not theory. It is a skill that wins or loses millions depending on how you use it.

Most neuroscience practitioners cannot sell.
Most sales trainers cannot explain the brain.
I do both.

Every leader makes a sale. You are selling vision.
Every parent makes a sale. You are selling behavior change.
Every negotiator makes a sale. You are selling your position.
Every entrepreneur makes a sale. You are selling ideas, offers, and direction.

When you master the first 3 seconds, you master all of it.
Sales, leadership, influence, negotiations, communication, and every moment where the stakes are human.

I teach the neuroscience and the execution.
Influence without pressure.
Sales without force.
Trust without effort.

If this speaks to the part of you that knows you were built for more powerful rooms, send me the word sale and I will show you what comes next.
