Making Tough Decisions
Tony Ruesing, a certified speaking professional, sprinkled his presentation on “Making Tough Decisions” with a little magic and humor to build audience participation. Ruesing’s goal is to help people reach their full potential. Ruesing argued that we should tap into the power within us all and find better ways of handling ourselves and others. We have the power, he says, but we need to learn how to use it effectively. The ability to actively listen, ask good questions, and provide feedback are skills that are essential to success in business. He believes people are capable of reaching more of what is inside of them by mastering these simple tools.
