Session brought to you by PCMA Foundation:

The Science of Taking Action
Steve Garguilo

How often have you had an idea that you were passionate about — one that you genuinely believed in – and waited for the perfect time, the perfect environment or the perfect set of circumstances? Of those ideas, how many have vanished in to thin air because the “perfect” opportunities never came?

In this high-energy session, Steve will demonstrate how you can transform ideas into action by incorporating a rigorously tested framework formulated on elements of design, social science and adult learning. Experiment with ideologies that have helped thousands of people create a bias toward action to develop new technologies, enhance relationships, start new companies, improve overall health and more.

Learner Outcomes: 

  • Create your personal action plan, setting you on the path to take more action every day
  • Utilize the proven techniques and tools to construct more action-oriented events
  • Generate methods of accountability to remain focused on your actionable goals through a set timeline
