From Good to Great to Brilliant! Visionary Leadership for a New Era
Over a ten year period, based on the description of a Level 5 Leader in the book, Good to Great by Jim Collins, and using a proprietary assessment that looks deeply and broadly enough to see beyond typical surface measures and to get right to core attributes, Dr. Buffington set out to discover what makes a great leader. The five year research project resulted in a benchmark of those who fit the L-5 model (what she calls Visionary Leaders) which is full of surprises and which explains why so many organizations are still struggling to go from good to great. Using what she discovered, organizations now have the means to go from good to great to brilliant!

Whether you are a business leader, in sales or just wanting to be more effective at reaping the rewards of connecting with people at the deepest, most essential level, this program can help. It is estimated that as much as 97% of authentic communications are non-verbal and that is non-verbal cues and clues influence 99% of our decisions.
Learning how to read the body language, gestures, expressions, voice tones and general demeanor of others is about as close to mind reading as you will ever come. Nothing tops learning how to use non-verbal communications in purposeful ways. When you can read between the lines, know what people are not saying, and decipher the most honest communication system on Earth; and when you know what lies behind what you are observing, you can get just about anything you desire.
Beyond Words: Connecting at the Deepest Levels
We communicate in three way; with words, with non-verbal gestures and with conceptual narratives. While the verbal and non-verbal forms of communication are the most readily seen, conceptual narratives are by far the most powerful. This is the language of the powerful subconscious mind.
Conceptual narrative is the process of making connections through analogies, metaphors, suggestions, hints, clues and other methods that engage the imagination and get the listener emotionally and visually involved.
One component of Conceptual narrative is non-verbal gestures, yet this is as small a ratio as is the verbal to non-verbal one which is estimated to be 23:1. Observable gestures make up just 5-10% of this system. To connect at the deepest, most essential levels we need to know how to communicate with the most powerful force available; the subconscious mind.
It is estimated that the subconscious mind is as much as 12,000 times more powerful than the conscious and it has its own language. When you are able to communicate and persuade at that level, you become unstoppable. Discover why the art of subconscious communication is one of the most powerful tools you will ever have and how you can begin using it to get just about anything you want.
