Award winning author and lecturer Michael Tougias shares the lessons learned about goal attainment and decision-making under pressure from researching his two national best-sellers, Ten Hours Until Dawn, and Fatal Forecast, as well as from interviewing dozens of people who have overcome tremendous obstacles.  This inspirational and interactive Power Point presentation first illustrates the survival stories Tougias has researched and then discusses the lessons learned.

Tougias (pronounced Toe-gis) is the author of 18 books who has conducted extensive research involving people who have survived disasters in the face of incredible odds. All of these individuals felt completely overwhelmed but quickly learned the secrets of channeling and managing their energy into proactive decisions that allowed them to survive. Tougias has learned that the techniques used by survivors can help all of us achieve our dreams, manage rapid organizational change, operate at peak performance, and lead more fulfilling, productive lives.

The strategies and tactics reviewed in the seminar, and the motivating stories of survival are useful for businesses that seek to inspire their employees and infuse them with confidence. Fire up your staff or organization with Survival Lessons!
