EMOTION EXCHANGE 

THE ART & SCIENCE OF EMOTION EXCHANGE FOR HEALTH & WELLNESS PROFESSIONALS

Health Business Growth Conference
Date: April 04, 2022
Time: 2pm to 3pm (pacific)

With: Dr. Reef Karim

EMOTION EXCHANGE

Powerful communication is NOT information exchange, it's emotion exchange.

You don't want your desired audience to THINK of you. You want them to FEEL your message, FEEL your solution, FEEL your products and services working in their life. You want them to EXPERIENCE what working with you and buying from you would be like. This is how you create a deep connection with your people, with your audience. 

Here's the problem... almost all Health & Wellness Professionals have been trained solely in information exchange and have no training in emotion exchange. 

You can't just share information and expect people to come to you.

When choosing between multiple professionals, people gravitate to those individuals who they trust, who they like, who they feel like they know, who they feel "get it", who have a personal story themselves, and who have earned the right to speak to them. 

The public trust of health experts is lower than it's been in a long long time. There are many reasons for this but it's imperative that Health & Wellness Professionals regain the public trust and develop ways to deeply connect with their desired audience in a short amount of time.

Dr. Reef Karim integrated existential psychology, neuroscience, behavioral economics and Hollywood Performance Techniques for Audience Engagement to create a powerful platform called Mad Genius.

The Mad Genius Method has helped politicians, A-list celebrities, royalty and CEO's to become highly effective communicators. 


It's time YOU learned this powerful platform and deploy this skill in your life. 


WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
1)  When to use information exchange and when to use emotion exchange in communication.
2)  How to use the power of emotion exchange in sales conversations
3)  How to use the power of emotion exchange in relationship conversations and conflict resolution
4)  How to regain public trust for Health & Wellness Professionals by moving people emotionally 
5)  How to inspire people to experience your message, products and services to trust you, work with you, buy from you and believe in your message and ideas.

YOUR SPEAKER
Dr. Reef Karim specializes in why we do what we do, how to disrupt old thinking by developing more cognitive flexibility and the art and science of emotion exchange as a powerful communication strategy. As the founder of Mad Genius and Master The Madness, Dr. Reef integrates existential psychology, neuroscience, behavioral economics and performance training to help people develop more significance and connection in their personal life and more sales and scale in their professional life. As a double-board certified medical physician and humanistic psychiatrist specializing in existentialism and neuroscience, and as an award winning performer who has hosted multiple network television shows and acted in big feature films, Reef realized that we all need to know HOW to express who we are, what we do, why we do it, and what we believe in, to deepen our existence, and as such, he founded the business training platform Mad Genius to help entrepreneurs, personal brand owners, coaches, and CEO’s elevate their communication skills to generate more sales, clients, and visibility by learning the art and science of emotion exchange. He also built the brand Master The Madness, to help individuals diminish the toxic external madness out there and increase the soulful and creative madness within us. As a television host, feature film actor and digital content writer, Reef knows how to create powerful content. Dr. Reef has been interviewed by Oprah, Deepak Chopra, Larry King, Anderson Cooper, and many others for his take on the human experience. He’s been on the biggest stages and biggest shows, trained with Oprah’s media trainers, and went to film school for narrative writing and audience engagement strategy.

MAD GENIUS METHOD

Let's be real. 

Most experts have no idea how to pitch themselves. They have no idea how to share WHO they are, WHAT they do and WHY they do it in a way that's engaging, captivating, energized and has people leaning in and sitting at the edge of their seats. 

Why?

Because experts are great at what they've been trained in. Information. Procedures. 

And they've never been trained in HOW to deliver that information. 

In fact, most experts have been taught the exact opposite of what they should be doing in this media-crazed world we live in. They've been taught NOT to share their struggle story. NOT to gain trust by revealing more of their story. 

Most experts don't even know their story, let along how to deliver that story

That's where the Mad Genius Method comes in.

In this talk, you will learn the four pillars of the Mad Genius Method and how to elevate your brand and business by utilizing these four steps in a specific and sequential manner.

STORY
Soulful Distinction & Differentiation

MESSAGE
Disruptive Message, Divergent Thinking & Cognitive Flexibility

PERFORMANCE
Powerful Performance Techniques from the Hollywood Entertainment Industry (hosting, acting, improv, embodiment training)

ENGAGEMENT
Audience Engagement Strategies & Tactics To Add Emotion Exchange To Information Exchange to create a winning powerful combination in your communication.  

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
1)  How to Develop & Deliver Your Personal Struggle Story 
2)  Learn the Art & Science of Emotion Exchange instead of relying on Information Exchange for Communication
3)  Learn targeted Hollywood Audience Engagement Techniques for Communication that come from the worlds of hosting, acting, improv and embodiment training
4)  Expand your Cognitive Flexibility to be able to come up with new ideas and innovative solutions through Divergent Thinking
5) Learn To Be More Disruptive in your Messaging to Gain The Attention of your Desired Audience

TROLL TALK KEYNOTE

TROLL TALK KEYNOTE

Rayton
16600 Aston Street, Irvine, CA 92606
October 12th, 2023

Keynote 8pm to 9pm

 

Troll Talk addresses why so many business leaders hold back who they are, what they do and why they do it. How to overcome blocks, resistance, limitations, and fear to step into your power and become the person you want to be.


Troll Talk
An experiential workshop in visibility and courage to put you, your message, and ideas out there.

For most entrepreneurs, coaches, personal brand owners and CEO’s, their biggest obstacle is NOT coming up with ideas, or building a business, it’s putting YOU out in front of your brand talking about your ideas, message, and story.

Because of fear.

In this talk, you’ll be introduced to a phrase called: Troll Talk

We all know about TROLLS.

The trolls are the usually unhappy people who negatively comment from the comfort of their own home. They usually don’t put themselves out there but behind a screen, they feel empowered.

Ever see one negative comment and 10 positive ones but you can’t get your mind off of that one negative comment?  We most definitely carry a bias toward negative commentary. 

The reason a lot of business leaders don’t scale, don’t go big, is they worry about the trolls.

It's time you rid yourself of this fear. The fear of fully expressive yourself.

The fear of “what will they say?”


Courage is such an important part of finding freedom in your professional pursuits.

Especially when you’ve been conditioned to live your life for impression management and pleasing others.


Spend some time figuring out your dragon, your emotional triggers, your unconscious fears and your counters/rebuttals.

It will serve you well when you encounter trolls, naysayers, and negativity, and if you're growing your resilience, you will face them.

I wish you courage, creativity, originality, and madness in your journey!

 

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

1) The 5 Types of Courage

2) The Troll Talk Experience

3) Building Resilience For Enhanced Visibility

4) The Past Courageous Acts Inventory

5) Facing The Dragon
