Description and Reviews
From The Publisher:

For everyone feeling trampled by the speed of life and business, author Vince Poscente reveals how to get ahead of the rush once and for all in The Age of Speed. Unraveling the notion that in today's world we need to slow down, Poscente illustrates why harnessing the power of speed is the ultimate solution for those seeking less stress, less busyness, and more balance.

Unraveling the notion that in today’s world we need to slow down, Poscente illustrates why harnessing the power of speed is the ultimate solution for those seeking less stress, less busyness, and more balance. The Age of Speed shows this and other groundbreaking revelations at work with case studies drawn from renegade companies such as Snapple, Netflix, Samsung, and Geico. And in the tradition of Freakonomics and The Tipping Point, a storyteller’s voice enlivens its provocative research and counterintuitive insights.

About the Author

At the age of thirty, Vince Poscente learned that 16.572 seconds could forever change a life. Sure -- standing atop a mountain knowing that in just over 16 seconds he would cover 2/3rds of a mile, exceed 135 mph and hopefully launch himself into the Olympic record books is remarkable, but consider this: Vince Poscente went from recreational skier to the Olympic Gold Medal round in just four short years. A renowned speaker, author, 1992 Olympic Winter Games Speed Skiing Finalist, 5 Time National Speed Skiing Record Holder (135 Mph) and 2 Time National Speed Skiing Champion, Vince Poscente is one of the country’s leading experts on achieving peak performance. Since the 1992 Olympic Winter Games, Poscente has used his understanding of speed and focus within his successful business career. An expert communicator, Poscente is the former VP of Marketing for North America’s largest real-estate investment services corporation. Poscente holds a master’s degree in organizational management from the University of Phoenix.

A highly regarded and sought-after business consultant, Poscente works with leading corporations around the nation and across industry lines. As CEO of Be Invinceable Group, Vince and his team are dedicated to helping companies and corporate leaders learn to ignite their vision and execute their strategies to eclipse their competition.

Among Vince’s clients are Intel, Microsoft, Pfizer, IBM, Nestlé, Fed Ex, Wal-Mart, Wells Fargo, Hallmark, Prudential, Merrill Lynch, GSA, AT&T, GE Capital, American Airlines, Honeywell, John Deere, Burger King, The United States Postal Service, New York Life, Astra Zeneca, Canon, EDS, Hewlett Packard, Young Presidents’ Organization, American Automobile Association and countless others.
