St. John to Bring Brain Science to Agent Summit
LAS VEGAS — Organizers of the annual Agent Summit have announced that Joe St. John, director of training for Innovative Aftermarket Systems (IAS), will present a neuroscience-based Coaching and Development session at this year’s event, which will be held March 2–4 at the Venetian Palazzo Las Vegas.
“To remain relevant and prove oneself indispensable to one’s dealer clients, agents must ride the leading edge of technology and training,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of Agent Entrepreneur and F&I and Showroom. “Joe’s presentation is guaranteed to captivate our attendees and, hopefully, pay dividends for their dealer clients.”
“Xs & Os: Brain Science for Better Coaching” will begin at 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 3, and will be followed by a panel session on Coaching and Development. St. John is expected to cover a myriad of brain science topics, including biology, behavioral patterns, effective skills training, personal motivation and more.
“Strap yourself in as Joe puts a charge into how you approach Coaching and Developing your F&I Superstars. While we all know inspiring others to perform at a higher level can be challenging, Joe breaks down the roadblocks and speaks both from experience and his lofty academic achievements,” said Randy Crisorio, president and CEO of United Development Systems Inc. (UDS) and chair of the Agent Summit advisory board. “Don’t miss it.”
