9.00 Mark Kastleman – Presentation Info
Presentation Topic: Inner Leadership—Change Yourself and Others Will Follow
Within the magnificent, complex structure of the brain is everything we need to overcome our most unwanted, difficult-to-change behaviors. Yet, many of our attempts to break free fail, or we succeed for a time, and then fall back. Why? Because the strategies we use work directly against the brain’s built-in-gifts for change.
Mark is the Co-Founder of Candéo, a world leader in behavior-change training and technology. Candéo has combined the power of advanced brain science, cutting-edge computer technology, and online support to create The Candéo Way.

Transforming the lives of man and women returning home from prison and gang members who are looking to break the cycle of despair, hopelessness, resignation and scarcity.

After listening to his powerful presentation, you will leave with greater understanding of your power to create and be at the source of and not at the effects of the current conversation about whats possible.
Clyde brought two completely different and opposing worlds together despite the belief of everyone from both law enforcement and the gang/crime world that it wasn’t possible for him as a law enforcement officer to bring them together to make a difference. We are hoping that “Freeway Ricky Ross” (related to the Iran-Contra scandal) will be present to speak also.
