From the very moment at the beginning or at the end of your day as your body begins its biologic and psychological processes to start up or shut down you have executed hundreds of decisions that are influenced by the "drift," the way it is around here. Your drift is made up of files that influence the execution of an algorithm that propels and motivates actionable outcomes. To understand that this is not merely a psychological process but also very biological is to understand how to motivate an understanding of the immense impact you can have anywhere, anytime and with anyone. The way you navigate your algorithm can lead you to understand and leverage what makes you unique and realize the source available to you to create extraordinary results. Scot Pierce aka ScotyP has a fearless energy and integrative wit for all audiences. At the heart of Scot's keynote events are the facets of real world insight and experiences conveyed to his audience as only someone with life and death experiences can. The rich diversity of being a veteran paramedic, college game day announcer, corporate trainer, sales leader and specialty pharmacy executive gives him the practical experience tailored to conquer the hill you climb. Motivation, inspiration, perspiration or a behavioral change with your team, Scot's talks are contagious and will have your audience engaged and buzzing with laughter and energy. Guiding principles will lead you to explore algorithms that take your goals from ordinary to extraordinary. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
