We will start with 8 foundational leadership behaviors guaranteed to build your influence and impact, and then work with practical tools to help you take your strategic influence to the next level.
Luncheon Keynote: Rob Quillen
Keynote Topic: Why Wait?
Description:
In a nutshell, Why Wait? is about how to change our lives by changing the lives of others. In a talk that follows the theme of his first book, “Why Wait?,” Quillen conveys the importance of making the dreams of others come true. While aboard a commercial flight bound for Newark, New Jersey, the night before the tragic events of 9/11, Rob Quillen had a remarkable and coincidental encounter with a stranger in the seat next to him. That man profoundly changed Quillen’s life and the lives of countless others, forever.
