Tapping the unconscious to move people to action
Drop a rock. It falls and hits the ground.

Once you understand brain evolution, many of our decisions will become easily predictable. To a scary degree, we are walking robots with knee-jerk responses, and not the rational geniuses with free will that we like to imagine.

What if you understood how the brain really makes decisions, and could consistently influence it? In this dynamic keynote, bestselling author and neuromarketing expert Tim Ash will teach you key strategies for influencing the primitive and irrational parts of the brain that are really in charge of our actions.  You’ll learn how to tap powerful universal motivations and automatic responses to deliver your marketing message on-target every time. 

Walk away with a new perspective on the brain, and several durable and practical strategies for ethically influencing your audience.

Are you ready to be inspired?

There are countless animal species which can communicate and use sophisticated language.

Why is doing the right thing so hard?

Whether it’s updating your resume, planning to clean your house, or working on that long-term project at work, do you find yourself struggling to keep the simplest commitments to yourself and others?

It doesn’t have to be this way.

Learn to harness the power of evolutionary psychology to create motivation and follow-through and achieve your goals!

You’ll learn:

  • Why doing nothing is the default option for your brain
  • How to motivate yourself with fear and pain avoidance
  • The power of commitment and externalizing accountability
  • Shaming and the weight of social sanctions
  • Playing with triggers to make good things easier and bad things harder to do

Buckle up—you’re about to become more productive!

The results are unpredictable, but you have to act now!
