Before you even introduce yourself, your prospect’s hormones have already voted on you. The question is: did you win? In the first few seconds of any interaction, their brain is quietly—but decisively—determining whether to trust you, engage with you, or shut down completely. And it all comes down to three key hormones neuroscience identifies: cortisol,…
You know, there’s a phrase from my childhood that stuck with me for decades. It wasn’t inspirational. It wasn’t wise. It was—“You’re a fraud.” My father said it to me. T And it became a lightning bolt that hit me every single time I tried to do something big. And here’s the worst part… There…
You know, every year around this time, we hear the same thing: it’s Thanksgiving, time to give thanks. And while that’s a beautiful tradition, I want to challenge that thinking a little. Giving thanks should never be limited to one day a year. If you’re living the Velocity Mindset, gratitude is not an event—it’s a…
Have you ever had a challenge so painful that you waited years to face it? But there were a couple of things I dealt with when I was younger, too. One was an addiction issue, and I open my keynotes with that. Another was that I couldn’t enunciate the letter R, so I was bullied…
When CEOs ask me, “Ron… how do I grow faster?” I tell them the truth: You don’t need more speed. You need clarity… and purpose. Because speed without direction? That’s just an expensive burnout. I’ve had the privilege of sharing this approach with audiences in over 20 countries, helping 200,000+ leaders, executives, and sales professionals achieve results they…
Ever wonder why some conversations instantly build trust while others fall flat, especially when money is involved? It all comes down to chemistry, not charm. The key ingredient is oxytocin, the hormone that makes people feel safe, connected, and willing to believe in you. Oxytocin is the love hormone, the trust hormone. My doctor once…
You ever notice in football how the most exciting play isn’t the touchdown—it’s third down? That’s when everything is on the line: the tension, the fans holding their breath. And in Kansas City, one man’s voice made that moment legendary for 16 years—Dale Carter. But recently, he quit. Just walked away. Why? Because management crossed…
We all have a fight-or-flight hormone called cortisol. You don’t get rid of it—it’s in you. If you’re trying to influence someone, even before you start talking, the first thing you have to do is create a safe environment that makes them want to engage. Think about it like this: 0 to 2: Nothing is bothering…
Have you ever thought, “I can’t lead because I don’t have a title?” Here’s the truth: you don’t need a title to lead change. You need influence—and influence is the currency of leadership. The Velocity Mindset® teaches us that velocity is speed with direction. Titles don’t create direction; clarity of purpose and influence do. When…
We were trained to think linearly. In English we read left to right; in Hebrew we go right to left. I do not care which way you go — you are still thinking linearly. That is the problem. I do not want you to think linearly. I want you to think upwards. I want you…
