Lunch & Learn with Duane Hughes
Check Your Preference: How Our Types Influence our Decisions
“Have you ever had a hard time hearing someone speaking directly to you? If so, did you check your ears and they were fine? No worries, you might just need to check your preference. We all naturally prefer certain types of people over others. In this Tedx- style Talk, Wall Street veteran Duane Hughes uses humorous personal examples, backed by research, to show how our ingrained preferences can affect our ability to understand one another. Learn ways to break out of your in group and improve your results. Tune in to check your preference.”
