The Invisible Filter: How Perception Drives Every Conversation
w/
Ryan Page, Employee Benefits Consultant, Gallagher
In this engaging session, Ryan will guide attendees on how to increase authentic communication and gain deeper insights into how others perceive them referencing the Fascinate System. This powerful approach helps individuals not only understand their own natural communication style, but also anticipate how their messages are likely to be received by different types of people.
The Fascinate System identifies seven key archetypes that reveal the unique ways individuals attract attention and influence others. By exploring these archetypes, attendees will learn to decode and respond to others' communication styles, increase empathy, and improve team interactions.
Participants will leave with actionable tools to fine-tune their own communication style, improve their ability to perceive their colleagues, and foster an environment where team members truly understand each other - resulting in more productive, authentic, and cohesive teamwork!
Ryan is best described as a proud husband, girl‑dad, golf enthusiast, and competitor. Professionally, he brings a rare perspective as the only Fascinate® Certified Advisor in the state of Michigan and one of fewer than 120 advisors worldwide. Having guided more than 250 individuals through the Fascinate assessment, Ryan has seen firsthand how remarkably accurate and transformative the insights can be. Ryan is passionate about helping people pause amid the chaos of everyday life to reflect on what matters most—how they show up, what makes them compelling, and how they can create deeper impact through their unique communication advantages. Throughout his career, one theme has remained constant: a commitment to building meaningful relationships and delivering genuine value to every person he meets.
