While traveling on this journey Mr. Blasko will share a few strategies for successful leadership, teamwork and personal growth. The strategies have all been test-driven and proven road-worthy. Do not let life's little road blocks keep you stuck on the side of the road. Come have some fun and learn how to push your pedal to the metal! Cruisin' Through Life™ at 35 MPH is a delightful road trip.

The attendee will be able to:

  • Utilize motivational techniques that will allow them to "think" and "act" more positively
  • Identify strategies to help them keep their self-esteem levels high or "full"
  • Develop techniques on how to view "change" as opportunity
