Everyone has a set of unique Behavioral Fingerprints®. DreamSmart Academy refers to one’s unique fingerprints as Behavioral SuperPowers®. Behavioral SuperPowers consist of a series of discovery exercises that consider living environments, expectations, life experiences, education, passions, values, behavioral talents and communication preferences, and financial temperament.

Behavior and social-emotional intelligence drive life, relationships, and financial choices. After more than ten years of research and validation, this is a foundational truth for all people, regardless of age, wealth, culture, position, or situation.

DreamSmart Academy is dedicated to decoding human behavior and optimizing individual, family, team, and organizational performance through validated behavioral insights. DreamSmart Academy’s new division, (Behavioral Science Division, BSD), will focus on “optimizing product design, delivery, and human performance.” The real-time insights provided by BSD will influence business strategy, decision-making, and service offerings through meaningful insights into human behavior.

Leon Morales is Managing Director of DNA Behavior International, which pioneers behavioral finance insights for real results in real-time, including an API solution for firms. Leon describes the firm’s “why:” Intensified behaviors caused by money attitudes and other factors like stress can derail portfolio performance. He says the company addresses – via an all-in-one, cloud-based plug-and-play platform – the evolving role of financial advisors who are increasingly called on to be to mentors and behavioral coaches.

He is a seasoned leader and consultant with deep experience in finance, technology, operations, accounting, and organizational change. Leon is passionate about assisting organizations in unlocking the power of human behavior acceleration through the practical application of behavioral insights.

Previously, Leon’s high-impact consultative roles include a 17-year corporate leadership tenure with Cox Communications and serving as Business Development Principal and Leadership Practice Principal for Innovar Partners, an operational improvement management consultancy.

Through my journey as a CPA and then as a wealth manager, I learned that the difference between good and poor decision-making was self-awareness. Very often people would repeatedly make the same mistakes because of their inherent patterns of DNA behavior hard-wired early in life.

Further, I saw how people would become stressed when living out of alignment with their unique behavioral identity and by having a poor relationship with money.

My purpose is to empower people to raise their consciousness about the energetic force of money so that they will be happy, successful, and healthy for longer.
