Michael Reddington, CFI is an expert at moving people from resistance to commitment. As a Certified Forensic Interviewer, he achieved the highest professional designation available in the field of interview and interrogation and spent over a decade training investigator around the world on the successful application of non-confrontational interview.

Michael arrived at two key realizations while expanding his observation and persuasive skill sets. First, the very best leaders and the very best interrogators capitalize on the same two core skills - vision and influence. Second, the cognitive processes that lead customers to commit to saying "I'll buy it", employees to commit to saying "I'll do it" and suspects to commit to truthfully saying "I did it" are all nearly identical. These realizations caused Michael to recognize he could teach executives how to reduce missed opportunities and increase commitments to action

After the clock rang with 20 years climbing the corporate ladder in large multinational organisations, Chiara Covone knew she was ready to invest the next 20 years in a bigger professional purpose: help corporate professionals and entrepreneurs master their mind to achieve anything they want in their life. She is particularly proud having been instrumental for the development of what is today a multi-million-dollar business for Philip Morris International - IQOS. After PMI, she worked for Mondelez, in Strategic Marketing and Innovation roles. She is now a successful executive and business coach, and lives in Sweden with her family.

Self-learning is of paramount importance in the business world, listen to your international peers and step up your game.
