It's what everyone wants. More happiness. More success. Today's guest, business psychologist Dr. Roger Hall, shares ways of getting both. He has one trick: training leaders to MONITOR and MANAGE their thinking. Successful people are first and foremost disciplined thinkers. Yogi Berra was right. He said, “Ninety percent of baseball is mental. The other half is physical.” He may not have been great at math, but he was right about successful people. Successful, happy people discipline their thoughts. Better thinking leads to better behavior, which leads to better results. Roger focuses his clients first on their thinking. Once that is lined up, the behavior follows pretty quickly and the improved results follow shortly after. Roger has worked with little companies with only a few people all the way up to big behemoths that dominate their industries. He likes working with people who want to become the best version of themselves. = = = = =   Ready to do something bigger with your ideas? **Register Today for TH

Over the last 30 years, Tracy Goodwin has had the honor of transforming the lives of hundreds of 7 figure entrepreneurs, executives, business professionals, and celebrities simply by shifting sounds that are sending the wrong message out of their voice. Tracy’s interest in how voices are subconsciously perceived and the effect that can have on a person’s life and success started when she was a child. She was raised in a family where children were to be seen and not heard. She wasn’t really allowed to speak. But, in spite of that, she started winning speaking awards when she was 12 years old. It was the one platform to use her voice and she thrived in that space. She went on to be an award-winning actor and director. In her freshman year of college as she was studying acting, she had a horrific event happen on stage, and in an instant, her voice changed. It was that moment that set the real stage for the work she does today, Psychology of the Voice. The Psychology of the Voice transforms her client’s voices an
