Inspired by actor, martial artist, and philosopher, Chuck Norris, and based on research from the Slow Movement in Italy, Ralph Simone of Emergent will share the data, benefits, and practices that will get you into “flow” state, and that optimize your performance simply by slowing down.

Learn how slowing down everything from breathing, eating, thinking, and moving can make you more receptive, resilient, and productive. “Simply resisting the urge to hurry is free.” – Carl Honore – Author, In Praise of Slowness
Ralph Simone has spent over a quarter of a century helping individuals and organizations transform themselves, raise their consciousness, and perform at their fullest potential.

As a Black Belt in karate and an avid reader, Ralph understands the benefits of consistent practice and continuous learning as an integral part of leadership development.
