Vince Poscente, Life in the Fast Lane
Is our 24/7, more-faster-now culture eating us alive...or setting us free?

Bestselling author of “The Age of Speed,” Speaker Hall of Fame inductee and former Olympian, Vince Poscente has the answer in his presentation “Life in the Fast Lane.” Poscente offers an invigorating perspective that will leave you seeking speed, not running from it - creating it, not fearing it. At the core of his message about embracing speed is the claim that the continued acceleration of business and life is inevitable. If we cannot stop it, perhaps we should consider putting it to work for us.
