ABOUT MYT

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to teach emotional competence skills proven to result in optimal performance while simultaneously minimizing the negative impact of worry, stress and hurry. We strive to help each individual we work with to understand their strengths and weaknesses to maximize their talent.

WHO WE ARE

Founded in 2010 after extensive research, Maximize Your Talent delivers advanced, evidence-based training designed to enhance leadership, well-being, and productivity through the mastery of emotional intelligence. Our distinctive, comprehensive approach empowers individuals and organizations to unlock their full potential, achieving sustained excellence both professionally and personally.

OUR HISTORY

In 1999, American Express Financial Advisor’s Senior VP Mike Woodward gave group VP Art DeLorenzo a copy of Daniel Goleman’s book, Working With Emotional Intelligence, a sequel to the author’s seminal Emotional Intelligence. This was an awakening for Art, as he had experienced Emotional Competence Training thanks to AEFA’s consultant, Dr. Rick Aberman.

Art’s close friend, Dr. Fred Luskin, was working as a school psychologist at his daughter’s elementary school. For Art, Goleman’s book provided a deeper understanding to what he had seen first-hand in his executive work. Self Awareness, Self Regulation, Motivation, Empathy and Social Skills were now recognized as invaluable concepts. DeLorenzo was convinced that merging a high-quality emotional competence training program with highly motivated individuals would elevate their productivity and lower their stress.

MYT is based on the work of leading psychologists on the frontier of business and personal and professional development. Our founders understand that the brain will not allow us to acquire new habits absent repetition, and that stress inhibits learning and development. Emotional competence is declining as stress becomes more prominent. The development of emotional competence is essential to hault this decline and enhance performance.

Art co-founded MYT Group by blending his executive expertise with his knowledge of educational fundamentals, helping others find increased success. Art is a consultant for several MYT clients and additionally, he assists with business development.
