Opening Keynote Address

Build Your Life Resume

Speaker:
Jesse Itzler
Author of Living with A SEAL, Co-Founder of Marquis Jet and an Owner of the Atlanta Hawks

What major goal are you going after? Run a 5k, lose weight, climb Everest, start a business, write a novel, take your business to the next level?

In this presentation, Jesse taps into pieces of his “all-in” group coaching program, Build Your Life Resume. The focus is on taking specific steps toward personal growth areas, in business, family, personal, or physical and challenging ourselves to tap into reserve tanks we all have, but so few of us access.

Tuesday Morning Keynote Address

Does This Economic Cycle Still Have Legs? What Are the Risks and Opportunities Ahead?

Speaker:
Bernard Baumohl
Chief Global Economist at the Economic Outlook Group

Rarely have business leaders and investors confronted so much uncertainty about the future. Simply put, we live in a crisis-prone global economy. There is political paralysis in Washington, economic distress in Europe, dangerous conflicts in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, and rising tensions in Asia. You can almost hear the geopolitical pot boiling furiously. Yet the sobering fact is corporate managers and investors still need to make decisions — and be able to justify them. Mr. Baumohl tackles all the key issues: Which shocks are most likely to erupt in the future? What implications will they have for the economy? How can you protect your business with so many global storms brewing?

Closing Keynote Address

Beyond the Lone Ranger, Listerine and the Energizer Bunny: The New Meaning of Perseverance

Speaker:
Bonnie St. John
Paralympic Ski Medalist, Fortune 500 Business Consultant, Rhodes Scholar, Former White House Official and Best-Selling Author

“Never give up” means something completely different in today’s world of rapidly shifting global markets and ever-changing 21st century technologies than it ever has before. Using her experiences and research to illustrate, Bonnie shares examples of four kinds of perseverance and persistence techniques that lead to a competitive edge in a highly fluid, international business world. As an amputee living in San Diego with no money (or snow!) for training, Bonnie needed to apply extraordinary tenacity to become the first African-American to win Olympic medals in ski racing. The dogged determination she learned led her to further success as a Rhodes Scholar, a sales leader at IBM, a White House economic official during the Clinton Administration, and in her own business as a best-selling author, dynamic corporate coach and inspiring keynote speaker. In every stimulating presentation, Bonnie encourages audiences to persist and adapt at the same time—motivating your team to become virtually unstoppable in their quest for success.
