​Keynote Speaker: James Robilotta

James Robilotta, CSP®, Author, Certified Speaking Professional™, Trained Improv Comedian, and Entrepreneur
Let's talk about who you are personally as a leader and as a partner. As humans, we can't learn things from people who are perfect, we can only learn things from people who are imperfect. So, it is time to own who you are so you can be real to others and lead through your faults.

This deep but hysterical session will leave you feeling introspective about the person you show to others and recognize the rapport and trust building power of authenticity in your communication and relationships. If you're looking to master the art of courageous feedback and authentic relationship building, this is the session for you.



Workshop: Elevate Your Skills 
Dive into an engaging and informative workshop with several topics to pick and choose from. Our workshops are led by industry experts offering insight, advice, and training to impact your skills, both in business and in life. Pick from one of the following topics:
