Wendy Pilcher

Attendees (leaders, sales teams, managers, students, educators) will earn to trust themselves more and stop allowing their own brain to talk them out of decisions that are right for them. This will make stronger, more confident leaders who perform more efficiently and lead more effectively.
• Start taking action in spite of fears
• Stop believing the negative thoughts in thier head
• Reduce the power and control saboteurs have over them
• Start honoring their uniqueness
• Stop people-pleasing
• Stop comparing themselves to others
• Start living life as an amazing adventure regardless of the roadblocks we all encounter
• Start living life on their terms
• Make decisions in line with their wants, needs & desires

I not only address the negative thoughts in our heads, the limiting beliefs, and the fears we all have, but I also provide actionable tools to navigate through or around them. We can all make our lives harder than it needs to be. I illustrate how implementing my 5 guiding principles and seeing things from a different perspective can change the neuropathways in our brain so our Saboteurs are not the ones in control. They will always be there, we cannot eliminate them completely, but we should be the ones who are in control. I talk about and show how to make simple mindset shifts that will positively change your life.

In the aftermath of seeing a man get killed when I was 18, I became obsessed with the human brain and how unreliable it is. How sometimes it’s for us and sometimes it’s against us. Yet we give it the power to control our lives.

I am a lifelong observer of people and student of psychology, neuroscience, and neuropsychology. I am fascinated by how we all tend to make our lives harder than they are supposed to be. I have both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in psychology. Bachelor of Science and Masters in Leadership Development.

I have Certifications in Positive Intelligence Quotient (PQ), Neuropsychology, DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), Neuroscience of Change, Brain Health Coaching,
Human Design

I am an ex-radio talk show host and I am currently in the process of writing two books: “The 5 Guiding Principles” and “Don’t be the Second A**hole in the Room.”

I was born in New York and that is where my early foundation was set and raised in the Chicago suburbs where I still live today. I have been a professional speaker since 2003.
