Presentation Details:

It’s a fast-paced, high-pressure world, and your plate is overflowing. Learning new skills as a busy IT professional can seem like a daunting task. Yet continually growing and developing yourself is absolutely essential for creating the most effective solutions for your team and community. In fact, if you’re not gaining new abilities and continuously upping your game, then you are already behind. There is a way to create room for growth without sacrificing your other priorities. Being armed to take on new battles as they’re presented (and they constantly are) means staying ahead of the game in the most efficient way. Better solutions makes workflow more productive, increasing bottom line results.

How do we improve ourselves without running into roadblocks over and over again?

This captivating and unique presentation is loaded with concrete tools to help you clarify your goals and critical skills and help you adopt a new way of thinking that will propel you to take action. Bronkar will motivate, inspire, and educate you to capitalize on your inner creativity and create your own opportunities for success.

After attending this session, you will walk away with:

• Tips and tools to learn and improve skills more efficiently.
• Inspiration and the means to innovate.
• Methods to create heightened focus and unlock creativity.
• Motivation to take action and sustain commitment.
• Techniques to get the most out of teamwork and collaboration.

Bronkar incorporates live music (saxophone, drums, vocal percussion), technology (live looping), rhythmic juggling (an artform he invented), and audience interaction — with direct demonstrations of skills he acquired using these learning methods. Morale will be boosted, spirits will be lifted, and the doors to possibility will be opened wide!

Bronkar’s presentation will cover topics including:

1. Update your agreement with mistakes: Shift your perspective on failure; change your belief system and orientation toward consistent forward progress.
2. Create an accelerated learning mindset: live in a growth state as opposed to a static one; say yes to opportunities--even (and especially) when they’re scary; rearrange your attitudes around your priorities. [Bronkar will demonstrate and discuss the tools and techniques to achieve this mindset.]
3. Think like a baby: peel back the layers that have built up over the years, burying our curiosity, persistence, delight, and determination; remember core universal truths and use your younger mind.
4. Lessons from life as a Ringmaster: how traveling with the circus can relate to life as a working professional in the business world
5. Deconstruction of skill acquisition: breaking down a skill into bite-size pieces; how language starts with letters and expands to words, sentences, and conversations--and how that translates to every skill
6. Create new patterns: identifying our current patterns, breaking them, and starting new ones that serve us better
7. Define the whys: discovering our pure motivations for learning a new skill and why they must exist in order to succeed; turning obstacles into opportunities

Bronkar is a peak performance expert, author, internationally acclaimed performer, entertainment producer, and keynote speaker. He uses his authentic passion for connecting with people and his creative talents (which he’s honed through discipline and commitment) to motivate audiences, lighting a spark of possibility and delivering powerful results.

Bronkar has always been fascinated by learning, as both an enthusiastic student and insightful teacher. He has learned musical instruments and languages, crafted beatboxing techniques, and mastered numerous physical skills — even to the point of breaking world records. More impressively, he’s transformed his personal abilities in record time. He applies these skills (as well as his interpersonal expertise in human connection) as a performer, coach, and educator, to inspire countless audiences and individuals. A sampling of credits includes touring Europe as ringmaster to a world-renowned circus, teaching at-risk youth to develop the confidence to overcome abuse and addiction, and appearing with Jay Leno on the Tonight Show.

As a peak performance coach, Bronkar has helped clients to achieve personal breakthroughs and accomplish goals for health, success, and well-being. His one-man variety show continues to be in great demand – everywhere from Disney cruise ships to corporate conferences for Google and Facebook to half-time shows at Madison Square Garden. As a keynote artist and speaker, he delivers an innovative experience using original artforms, personal connection, and applied technology in order to help others find greatness within themselves.

Over the years, Bronkar’s desire to produce, coach, and collaborate has led him to form multiple performance groups including duo show Collision of Rhythm, 4-man variety show Bounce, and even fronting the rock band All Styles to Groove. In 2014, Bronkar collaborated with original STOMP member and Blue Man Group coach Ameenah Kaplan to create Raditatical — a multimedia-filled, rhythm-based theatrical show with a 6-person cast that enjoyed success at the Ricardo Montalban Theater in Hollywood.

Most recently, Bronkar collaborated with his wife Cyndi Harvell Lee to write the book BAM: Bold Achievement Method, outlining his 6-step process for accelerated learning. They used the methodology to complete the book and (most importantly) in raising their newborn son, Elijah.
