2025 Fall Conference

Everybody has to work with those that they disagree with, that they don’t understand, and that they might not even like. This session empowers audiences to challenge their assumptions (about their coworkers, their customers, and even that guy on the bus) to communicate more effectively, manage conflict, and build relationships of trust.

This high-energy, engaging session will explore the fine line between grit and burnout, the power of prioritization, and the undeniable impact that leadership has, not just on teams and businesses, but on families and communities. Through real-world insights and actionable strategies, attendees will leave with the tools to level up their leadership, increase their resilience, and create lasting impact in both their professional and personal lives.
