ANNOUNCING KEYNOTES!
Reconnecting in a Disconnected World
Dr. Janel Anderson
The rise of technology has connected us more than ever before, but it has also led to a growing sense of disconnection from the people and communities around us.
Janel’s opening keynote is a call to action for individuals to take a more proactive role in building strong, supportive organizations that can withstand the challenges of our rapidly changing work and world. By embracing the power of connection, we can create a more vibrant, healthy, and fulfilling workplace and society that benefits us all.
Transform Your Next 30 Days: Achieve Success in Work, Relationships & Life
Antonio Neves
Life presents us with challenges that test our resilience and shape who we become.
In this dynamic closing keynote, Antonio helps audiences take a powerful step back and examine the last 30 days of their life as a reflection of where they are headed. Are your actions leading you towards the success you envision, or are they holding you back? Come learn actionable tools to ensure that your next 30 days are better than your last — for leaders, for people, for entire organizations!
Invest in yourself, your team,
and your organization
