Keynote Presentation
Every leader at this conference has plans to grow their business and get ahead of the fast pace of change in the marketplace. If you’re like most executives, probably only a very small percentage of you have created deliberate plans to grow and scale your executive skills to match your plans to grow and scale your business. And yet we all know that you are there to create the business of the future, not just run the business you are today or were last year. So, how should you change yourself – your mindset, your behaviors, your skills – to grow as fast as your business plans? How do you become a leader who can scale? This morning we will look at seven common places where executives stall as they try to grow and change alongside their changing business. We will look at the warning signs, ways to test the situation, and proven ways for powering through the stalls and going to the next level as a leader. You will be left with a gameplan for your own development as a growth leader.

Leadership Does Not Require Suffering;
IT IS A PRIVILEGE
United States Army combat veteran Michael Crean will be discussing principles of leadership he has learned on and off the battlefield. As an Army Combat Veteran, I've come to understand that leadership is not just a responsibility; it is a profound privilege. Through my experiences on the battlefield and as a CEO for the last 21 years, I've witnessed firsthand how leadership can shape destinies and bring about significant change. Leading a team of Soldiers or a team of Executives is a weighty honor, as it means being entrusted with the well-being of others. The men and women who follow a leader place their trust and faith in that individual's decisions, knowing that their own success depends on the competence and judgment of their leader. This immense responsibility comes with the privilege of being able to make a positive impact on the lives of those under your command. Leadership is not about barking orders or seeking personal glory; it's about guiding, inspiring, and empowering the team. The privilege of Leadership is in the ability to influence positive change, to cultivate a culture of resilience and unity, and to guide the team towards a common goal. It is witnessing the transformation of individuals into a cohesive force, working together to overcome challenges and achieve shared objectives.
