GUEST SPEAKER - STEVE HOUGHTON-BURNETT

THE POWER OF PERCEPTION

If perception is reality… How can you explain the difference Between YOUR REALITY and MINE?

Have you ever wondered why a group of people can have the same facts available, have all encountered the same problem or have all sat through the same company briefing… Yet they will all perceive what they just experienced in different ways?

What’s more, they will all react and take action based on those perceptions. With his Keynote Speech “The Power of Perception”, Steve will help you to understand:

• Where Perception sits in our ability to interact with the world.
• The seven Perception Filters we all have.
• Why your version of a minute is likely to be different to everybody else’s, and what that means for you and others.
• Why first impressions only really count in 67% of the situations you are in.
• Which ONE strategy is guaranteed to work when communicating with everybody, regardless of which Perception Filters they have as dominant.

ABOUT STEVE

Steve Houghton-Burnett has been dubbed “The Formula Guy”. He got the name because a friend told him that he’d helped them to unlock the “Secret Formula” for getting their business back on track and disrupting their marketplace (They’d been established for over 30 years and their perception was their market and indeed their business was pretty stagnant at that point).

Steve has a professional background leading large change projects in the Private, Public and Not for Profit Sectors. It was here that he developed his fascination with the impact that perception has on the way that messages get received. That ultimately led him to develop the world's first academically sound Perception Profiling Tool.

Steve’s speaking style is challenging to the group and supportive to the individual. He’s a big guy with a big personality and bags of energy that he spreads around the room. He uses his battery to help to recharge other people, so they can walk away with optimism and the desire to thrive in times of change.
