My name is Thomas Trautmann, providing you with unique content and services to Get More! is my goal. As an entrepreneur for years, I had many ups and downs, successes and failures, just like you, but I have a secret tool you don't have ... yet! Following scientific studies in the fields of artificial intelligence, and an engineering degree, my career was oriented towards marketing and sales. After a few years, I became a Certified Neuromarketing Instructor, using the latest brain and decision-making science, improving my clients’ businesses’ marketing, sales and strategies. During these few years teaching and conducting NeuroMarketing projects, I studied the differences between male and female brains to help me improve my relationship and my teachings. Thus was born the NeuroCouple concept, accompanied by my first book on the subject, helping women and men enjoy better relationships thanks to brain science. It was then that it became clear to me that those who deserved the most access to all this knowledge were the people wanting to genuinely help other people reach the best decisions: ENTREPRENEURS. And so was born the Ethical Persuader System, followed by the Decision Hack System. I give workshops, trainings and seminars for companies and individuals. And I am also a speaker at conferences all around the world, to help people like you, make the best decisions to Get More! and become the Ethical Persuader.What drives me? Your smile! To see that you found a new way to be happy in your couple, in your job, in your life. Your smile is a facial expression and as such is driven by your brain! See, I told you I love brains! During my whole career, which I started as a computer engineer investigating the way people were thinking and writing software, I always had a passion for what makes us be who we are. When it comes to my career in Marketing and Sales I always had a strong passion for understanding what make the products and businesses I manage unique, and focused towards their customers, uncovering their hidden motivations and desires. This has allowed me to build very strong ties with my own business customers and strengthen their competitive advantage. Over the last years after having spend over 25 years in engineering and marketing with both high tech and industrial companies such as Robert Bosch, Hewlett-Packard, AOL, Steelcase and Sapa Building Systems, I’ve joined SalesBrain, the first NeuroMarketing agency. Over the last couple of years I noticed that many parts of neuroscience could not only used for marketing, sales, management or strategy, but could be very useful in your personal life, in your love life . Born in Switzerland of German descent, I have lived in Belgium, France, and Ireland, and consider myself a European citizen. I am living with my second wife for more than 10 years and have 5 kids (2 from a past life, and 3 with my wife), which gives me a great perspective on what love life is about. I graduated in Computer Engineering, hold a Master Sc. in Artificial Intelligence and Algorithmic and a PhD in Artificial Neural Networks.[:fr] Ce qui me motive ? Votre sourire ! Vous voir heureux d’avoir trouvé une nouvelle méthode pour plus de joie dans votre couple, votre travail, votre vie. Votre sourire est une expression faciale qui est pilotée par votre cerveau ! Vous voyez ? Je vous avais dit que j’adore les cerveaux ! Durant toute ma carrière, qui à débutée comme ingénieur en informatique à décortiquer le raisonnement des autres lors de l’écriture de leur programmes, je me suis toujours passionné pour ce qui fait de nous qui nous sommes. Pour ce qui est de ma carrière dans le Marketing et la Vente, j’ai toujours eu une forte passion pour comprendre ce qui rend des produits, ou une entreprise, uniques et focalisés vers les clients, afin de comprendre leurs motivations cachées et leurs désirs. Ceci m’a permis de construire des liens très étroits avec mes propres clients tout en renforçant leur avantage compétitif. Au cours des 25 dernières années passées dans l’ingénierie puis le marketing et la vente, aussi bien dans des entreprises de high-tech qu’industrielles, comme Robert Bosch, Hewlett-Packard, AOL, Steelcase et Sapa Building Systems, j’ai pu apprendre de sur nous en regardant les gens à l’œuvre. Puis j’ai rejoint comme partenaire SalesBrain, qui est la première agence de NeuroMarketing. Ces dernières années passées dans l’application des neurosciences au marketing, à la vente et à la stratégie m’ont fait réaliser qu’il pourrait être fort utile d’appliquer les neurosciences à votre vie personnelle, à votre vie amoureuse. Né en Suisse de parents allemands, j’ai vécu en Belgique, Irlande et en France, je me considère comme un citoyen européen. Je vis depuis plus de dix ans avec mon épouse et ai 5 enfants (2 d’un premier mariage et 3 avec mon épouse), ce qui me donne une belle perspective sur la vie de couple. Je suis diplômé comme Ingénieur en Informatique et possède un DEA en Intelligence Artificielle et Algorithmique ainsi qu’un Doctorat en Réseaux de Neurones Artificiels.[:] Richard’s vision quest journey is filled with twists and turns.
