UPCOMING Interactive WEBINAR/Mini-workshop
Your Key to Effective Decision-Making – Movement Pattern Analysis (MPA)
with Antja Kennedy
Monday Sept. 7, 2026 6:00 – 7:30 pm (Central European Time) via Zoom
Join me for a free webinar to explore how movement reveals your decision-making process.
Movement Pattern Analysis (MPA) offers a powerful lens into how we make decisions. By closely observing human movement, MPA reveals an individual’s characteristic way of thinking through and acting on choices. This unique decision-making profile is your key to deepen self-awareness, strengthen communication, and support more effective collaboration within teams.
