Sharing never-before-told anecdotes, Paul Whelan recounts his harrowing journey as a hostage in Putin’s Russia—enduring human rights abuses while fighting for freedom and justice from behind enemy lines.

On December 28, 2018, Paul Whelan was traveling in Russia for a friend’s wedding when he was framed for espionage and arrested in his hotel room. Thus began a harrowing journey of unwavering resilience, patriotism, and survival that spanned five years, seven months, and five days of unlawful imprisonment—before his emotional return home in the most historic prisoner swap since the Cold War.

From torture by sleep deprivation in a filthy prison cell to harassment in a forced labor camp, the trauma Paul faced was substantial. But by forming crucial alliances and communicating with fellow prisoners, guards, and other Americans detained nearby, Paul was able to learn and share invaluable resources and information about the War in Ukraine and other global events—and was able to ultimately fight for his own release.

Drawing from his remarkable story, Paul inspires audiences to overcome their own most difficult obstacles, providing strategies for mental resilience and goal-setting. He also brings a wealth of experience in corporate security, expertly blending risk management with strategic insights to safeguard organizational integrity and enhance operational resilience. He applies the leadership and team-building principles he learned while detained to the corporate world—emphasizing that building strong alliances and learning to communicate mindfully with others is essential for success.

The former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine and bestselling author of the memoir Lessons from the Edge shares insights on the region and the current crisis as well as experiences from her 33-year career in the U.S. Foreign Service.

Marie Yovanovitch served three times as U.S. Ambassador, most recently in Kyiv as the U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine. Previously, she served as U.S. Ambassador to the Kyrgyz Republic (2005-2008) and the Republic of Armenia (2008-2011). She retired from the Foreign Service in 2020 and is currently a Senior Fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and a non-Resident Fellow at the Institute for the Study of Diplomacy at Georgetown University.

Born into a family that survived both Soviet and Nazi terror before emigrating to the U.S., Yovanovitch rose to the top of her profession in the crucible of the former USSR. Following early assignments in Moscow, London, Ottawa, and Mogadishu, she served as Deputy Director of the Russia Desk and then, as a career member of the Senior Foreign Service, she was named Deputy Chief in Ukraine. Within the Department of State, Ambassador Yovanovitch has worked on the Russia desk, the Office of European Security Affairs, and the Operations Center. She also served as the Dean of the School of Language Studies at the Foreign Service Institute, U.S. Department of State and as the Deputy Commandant and International Advisor at the Dwight D. Eisenhower School for National Security and Resource Strategy, National Defense University.

Ambassador Yovanovitch earned the Senior Foreign Service Performance Award eight times and the State Department’s Superior Honor Award on nine occasions. She is the recipient of two Presidential Distinguished Service Awards and the Secretary’s Diplomacy in Human Rights Award. Following her retirement, Ambassador Yovanovitch received the Trainor Award for Excellence in the Conduct of Diplomacy from Georgetown University, the inaugural Richard G. Lugar Award from Indiana University, the 2020 PEN/Benenson Courage Award from Pen/America, the Morgenthau Award from the Armenian Assembly of America, the American Spirit Award for Distinguished Public Service from the Common Good, and the Paul H. Douglas Award for Ethics in Government.

In early 2022, Marie Yovanovitch’s memoir, Lessons From The Edge, was an instant New York Times bestseller. The late Madeleine Albright called the book “A brilliant, engaging, and inspiring memoir from one of America’s wisest and most courageous diplomats—essential reading for current policymakers, aspiring public servants, and anyone who cares about America’s role in the world.”

The Race Card Project - Eavesdropping on America's Conversation on Race
Join us for a discussion on race and identity in America, with Peabody Award-winning journalist Michele Norris, founder of The Race Card Project™. The Race Card Project creates sturdy cultural bridges through candid conversation using real stories on race, culture and identity. In 2010, former NPR journalist Michele Norris began inviting people to distill their thoughts on the word race to only six words. Since then, The Race Card Project™ has collected more than 500,000 “postcards” from all 50 states and 96 countries. People often send backstories and photos to share more about what is behind their six-word statements. Many of these essays contain sentiments and hard truths rarely expressed out loud. Today, these powerful six-word memoirs kickstart honest conversations that leave people with a better sense of each other, and themselves, through a variety of tools and resources. The goal is to tap into the stories, people and threads that make up our complex cultural landscape and then engage people to talk across difference, race, inclusion and identity.
The Grace of Silence and the Power of Words
Award-winning journalist Michele Norris's 2010 book The Grace of Silence started out as a quest to uncover how America talked about race in the wake of the Obama presidential election. What resulted was what Norris calls an \"accidental memoir.\" Named one of the year's best books by The Christian Science Monitor, the book became an eye-opening family history lesson revealing her own family's racial legacy and the larger conversation surrounding race in America. The book has also led to the spinoff blog \"The Race Card Project\" and a deeper look at our attitudes and beliefs about race.
If You Meant It Then You Should Have Put a Stamp On It
In this unique presentation, Michele Norris examines how old fashioned handwritten letters have helped define what is best about America, and explores how we hold on to that in the age of email, Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr. This refreshing talk looks at the profound impact and importance of letters written by presidents, CEOs, sportsmen, soldiers, pioneer women and pioneering scientists -- and examines how we communicate today and what it may tell us about our tomorrow.

Combining his exceptional breadth of global knowledge, a deep cultural perspective, and engaging anecdotes, Afshin Molavi examines the most critical issues impacting our world—and our businesses—today.

One of the world’s most trusted authorities on global economic trends and geopolitics, Afshin Molavi helps organizations better understand the changing world and prepare for an uncertain future. Covering topics ranging from US-China relations and the ongoing volatility in the Middle East and Ukraine to shifts in energy policy and how the 2025 change in administration might impact the global landscape, Molavi identifies the risks—and opportunities—businesses can expect to navigate in the coming years.

Peppering his talks with anecdotes from his travels, a deep reading of history, and broad industry knowledge of commodities and supply chains, Molavi argues that globalization remains a potent force shaping our world in everything from your morning coffee (“Globalization in a Mug”) to pop culture (“Gangnam Style Globalization”). In an engaging, approachable style, he explains how everything is inter-connected and how small events can have major impacts to the ways we produce, consume, work and live.

With wide experience on the ground in the Middle East and Asia, including journalist postings in Riyadh, Dubai, Tehran, and Cairo, and wide travel across Asia from India to Japan to South Korea to China, Afshin is now a senior fellow at the Foreign Policy Institute of the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies, co-founder of the emerge85 Lab, and founder of the Emerging World newsletter. His articles and op-eds frequently appear in publications like The New York Times, The Economist, Businessweek, and Institutional Investor. His journalism credits include Reuters, The Washington Post, and the Financial Times. He was a senior global advisor at Oxford Analytica, and was selected by the World Economic Forum in Davos as a Young Global Leader.

From Amsterdam to Abu Dhabi, from San Diego to Singapore, Molavi has delivered impactful keynotes for a wide range of audiences, from global asset management firms and leading investment banks to travel and tourism boards, trade associations, and leading educational institutions.

The New Geopolitical Map of the World: Global Trends Transforming Our World—and Your Business
In this tour d'horizon of the major global trends, world economic outlook, and geopolitical hotspots, Molavi will explore in a tailored way how each of these will affect your business and our collective future. Weaving in anecdotes from the field of more than two decades of travel, a broad historical understanding of key global trends, and a unique ability to geo-locate today's headlines into a broader global outlook, Molavi's insights help us navigate the choppy waters and storms that surround us, pointing at the opportunities beyond the clouds and the fog.
The Five Disruption-Proof Trends Shaping Our World and Their Impact on Politics, Business, Society, and Technology
From rapid urbanization and growing middle classes to unprecedented connectivity and technology acceleration, Molavi navigates audiences through five key demographic and universal growth trends that are reshaping our world. He describes these shifts as “disruption-proof” in that they transcend our day-to-day political, economic and trade developments. Understanding their importance will help any organization navigate the competitive global landscape for the next twenty-five years.
Vladimir Putin’s Bomb, the Global Shrapnel, and Our Collective Future
When Vladimir Putin chose to invade Ukraine in February 2022, he unleashed a geopolitical and geo-economic bomb. The shrapnel from that bomb will be felt in every corner of the world from Chile to China. Diving into supply chain disruptions, commodities forecasts, and the re-ordering of geopolitical alliances, Molavi explores the fall-out from Russia’s invasion, arguing that the action “will shape our world profoundly, fueling greater instability worldwide, exacerbating inequalities, re-ordering alliances, and posing challenges to established leaders everywhere.”
Shanghai, Mumbai, Dubai or Goodbye: The New, New Emerging Markets Transformation and What It Means for Our World
Author and geopolitical strategist Afshin Molavi takes a tour around the new geo-economic horizon reshaping our world, and what it means for markets, cultures, societies, and politics. As a former Dubai-based journalist and Asia risk strategist, Molavi brings personal anecdotes, deep economic insights, and broad trends analysis into an illuminating, entertaining tour of our evolving world. Molavi goes beyond the BRICs and beyond the usual markets analysis to dive deep into newly forming alliances, key consumer trends, and major macro shifts shaping what he calls the “85 world” - where 85% of the world’s population lives, from Asia to Africa to Latin America to the Middle East.
Gangnam Style Globalization and Our New World Order
From South Korean K-Pop boy bands to the rise of Turkish soap operas and Indian Netflix serials, a new globalization of pop culture is emerging around the world. This “Gangnam Style Globalization” reflects a new, rapidly evolving global geopolitical and geoeconomic climate that is shaping and re-shaping our future, creating new centers of political and economic power, and forcing investors and policy-makers to rethink their mental maps of the future. Author and geopolitical strategist Afshin Molavi takes audiences on an illuminating and entertaining tour of this evolving world - though he promises to not do the Gangnam Style dance in process.

One of the most visible and trusted faces in broadcast news, award-winning journalist Jonathan Karl helps audiences understand America’s ever-changing political landscape and shares what to watch for in the 2024 elections.

Jonathan Karl is ABC News Chief Washington correspondent and co-anchor of This Week with George Stephanopoulos. He is author of three New York Times bestsellers, including his most recent, Tired of Winning: Donald Trump and the End of the Grand Old Party. In 2021, Mediaite named Karl one of the top 10 “Most Influential in News Media.”

The former president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, Karl reported from the White House under four presidents and fifteen press secretaries. He has covered eight presidential elections and has broad experience covering Congress, foreign policy and the military, and has reported from more than 30 countries. He has covered every major beat in Washington, including the White House, Capitol Hill, the Pentagon and the State Department.

Karl’s reporting has been recognized with some of the most prestigious honors in journalism, including the Walter Cronkite Award for National Individual Achievement and the National Press Foundation’s Everett McKinley Dirksen Award, the highest honor for congressional reporting. He is also one of the few journalists to win the Radio and TV Correspondents’ Association’s top award for excellence in Washington-based reporting twice, in 2010 and 2015. He won an Emmy® Award for coverage of the 2009 Inauguration of President Barack Obama.

During the 2016 presidential cycle, he did the first network interview with then-candidate Donald Trump, the first interview with Bernie Sanders as a presidential candidate and a rare, exclusive interview with the reclusive billionaire Charles Koch.

Before joining ABC News, he served as senior congressional correspondent and senior political correspondent for CNN. Karl graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Vassar College in Poughkeepsie.

With behind-the-scenes-moments gathered from countless interviews with world leaders and on-the-ground coverage from Capitol Hill, the White House and the Pentagon, Jonathan illuminates what goes on in the corridors of power in the U.S. and abroad. His deep credibility, extensive news experience, and political knowledge of foreign policy, national politics, and current events help audiences understand America's ever-changing political landscape.

Strategy in a World of Disruption
The business world has fundamentally changed forever. The growth and adoption of new technologies is at a dizzying pace. Customer and employee expectations have been pushed forward 10 years due to the pandemic. We are now looking for organizations to be fearless in a changing world.
These drivers are forcing everyone to reimagine their entire organizations. How do we survive? How do we disrupt ourselves before someone else does? How do we deliver better experiences to our clients, customers, and teams? Today, we need to be bold, brave and experimental.
In this awe-inspiring talk, Shawn Kanungo provides an optimistic roadmap for the future. He explores how we can take unexpected approaches to innovation to remain competitive and relevant.
The Age of Infinity - Generative AI & Our Future
We are on the brink of a revolution based on the meteoric rise of Generative AI, most notably ChatGPT. These exponential technologies are transforming the way we communicate, collaborate, and create, revolutionizing industries around the world. However, when everyone has an AI co-pilot, who will stand out? Shawn Kanungo argues that we need more freaks — leaders that are both unique and bold.
With the rise of Generative AI, cloud technologies, and remote talent, we’re entering into an age of infinite leverage where our work can be replicated at no cost, and we don’t need permission to get started. As a result, we can build exponential organizations — a new breed of businesses that can be more nimble, flexible, and highly leveraged.
In this provocative and counter-intuitive keynote, Kanungo dives deep into the age of artificial intelligence and infinite leverage. He explores why this will shape the future, and how it will impact culture, business, technology, and individuals. Ultimately, the future will favor the freaks.
Bold Ones – How to Innovate & Disrupt Ourselves
The world is getting weirder, wackier and wilder by the minute. It has never been more crucial to adapt and evolve with the times. Yet, when faced with radical change, we tend to double down on what made us successful in the past.
Bold Ones is an awe-inspiring and provocative keynote on how individuals can apply the innovations and disruptions occurring around them to become more dynamic and valuable. Specific, actionable techniques—from uncovering ‘secrets’ within your field, to designing experiments, to creating an unstoppable personal flywheel—that will help one evolve and excel will be shared.
Creating the Future, Together
Today, we are undergoing a paradigm shift. The world is becoming more dynamic, intertwined and unpredictable. Organizations must develop an ecosystem approach to innovation, leveraging talent both inside and outside of the company, to navigate the future.
Shawn Kanungo provides a bold, unique and contrarian view of the near term-future. He outlines some of the disruptive forces (AI, Digital Business Models, etc.) that are impacting every industry. He then explores how organizations can become more adaptable, experimental and collaborative.
Weaving together storytelling, humor, inspiration and actionable takeaways, audiences will walk away with a roadmap on how organizations can create a brighter future, together.

Chris Wallace breaks down today’s top news issues and their impact on individuals and industry. Wallace’s thorough presentation of the facts leaves audiences with takeaways that prepare them for impending changes in the political landscape.

Wallace is a former CNN anchor and the host of Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace? on HBO Max. Praised as an “equal opportunity inquisitor” by The Boston Globe and “an aggressive journalist,” “sharp edged” and “solid” by The Washington Post, Wallace interviews CEOs and media moguls, Hollywood legends and newsmakers across politics, business, world affairs, sports and culture.

With more than 50 award-winning years of experience in broadcasting, Wallace was most recently an anchor with CNN, and previously was with FOX News, where he anchored FOX News Sunday. Throughout his almost two decades at FOX, Wallace participated in coverage of every major political event, secured numerous high-profile interviews with dignitaries as well as U.S and foreign leaders, covered five presidential elections, and interviewed every president since George H.W. Bush.

Before joining FOX, Wallace worked at ABC News for 14 years where he served as the chief correspondent for PrimeTime and a substitute host for Nightline. Prior to ABC, Wallace was NBC's chief White House correspondent and moderated “Meet the Press,” making him the only person to have hosted two Sunday talk shows. He also anchored the Sunday edition of NBC Nightly News. A graduate of Harvard University, Wallace began his career as a city hall reporter for The Boston Globe.

Wallace has won every major broadcast news award for his reporting, including three Emmy Awards, the DuPont-Columbia Silver Baton, the Peabody Award and the Sol Taishoff Award for Broadcast Journalism, which was awarded to him by the National Press Foundation.

With substance, fairness and gravitas, Chris captivates with seasoned insights on current events and political affairs, including the evolving role of the media and influence of technology on the presidency, America's outlook under President Biden, and what audiences can continue to expect during his administration.

The Historical Significance of the 2024 Presidential Election: A Bipartisan Look
Every four years we are told the upcoming election is the most important of our lifetime. It usually isn’t. But every now and then, the nation’s fate indeed hinges on the outcome of a presidential vote. This is one such year. Both major party candidates cast their opponent as an existential threat, and the nation’s future will likely prove much different under a Trump or a Harris presidency. But beyond the noise, the fearmongering, and our collective exhaustion, what makes this election so significant from an historical perspective? We’ve had razor-thin and disputed elections before. Since 2000 the popular vote winner failed to gain an electoral college victory—and thus the White House—twice. That had only happened three times in the prior two centuries, and we remain in the shadow of January 6, 2021 and its unprecedented challenge to the final tally. Will similar electoral and constitutional chaos occur again in 2024? Will the candidate’s character ultimately matter more than their vote count? This keynote, focused not on partisanship but on a dispassionate view of history, offers insights and leadership lessons drawn from previous contests, including the existential ones, offering a glimpse into what we might expect in November, in January, and beyond.
Surviving America’s Existential Crises
Every generation faces crises. Yet only three times in our nation’s history has the republic’s very existence been in doubt. George Washington left his well-earned retirement to provide a symbol of stability and virtue the new nation would not have formed without. Abraham Lincoln oversaw a country rent in two. Franklin D. Roosevelt governed during an economic crisis so great many wondered if democracy itself could survive. Today our politically-riven nation may well face only the fourth existential crisis in its long history, and only the lessons of the past can help navigate the rocky shoals ahead.
America at 250: A Founder’s Report Card
It’s been two and a half centuries since minutemen opened fire on redcoats at Lexington and Concord in a moment typically considered the start of America’s war for independence. The country they helped forge grew over time from a piddling player on the periphery of the international system to the world’s most dominant force since imperial Rome. What would those early revolutionaries, including the group that fired the shot heard round the world, their counterparts that published the Declaration of Independence the next year, and the ensuing generation that wrote a new constitution think about our nation today? Anyone who tells you “the founders thought” shouldn’t be listened to. They were as diverse in perspective and opinion as we today. But consistencies abounded within their thinking, enough to ask how we’d fare if that first generation graded ours today.
Putin and the Presidents
US-Russian relations are at a new post-Cold War low. But those tensions go far beyond the current crisis over Ukraine. Russian-American antagonisms stem instead from long-standing geopolitical differences — different worldviews, really — held by American and Russian leaders since the Cold War’s End. Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev set the stage for change, but only one man has been a constant in their critical bilateral relationship since: Vladimir Putin. His personal story reveals much of why the world is at war with Russia today, a story told through the evolution of his relationship with the U.S. Presidents he’s known: George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden.

An award-winning Latina entrepreneur who went from living in an orphanage to creating a wildly successful salsa company she sold to Campbell’s Soup for $231M, Magie Cook inspires audiences around the world to face their biggest obstacles and reach their greatest potential.
Magie Cook grew up in Mexico, living in an orphanage with 68 other children. As a child, she taught herself how to play basketball and ultimately immigrated to the US on a basketball scholarship at the University of Charleston. While there, she started to make fresh salsa for her friends—and word spread of her delicious recipe.
After graduating, Magie struggled to find a job and was on the brink of homelessness—until her friends entered her in a fresh salsa competition. Magie won the contest unanimously, was gifted $800 to start her business, and Maggie’s All-Natural Fresh Salsas & Dips was born.

Business IS an adventure—and mountain-climber Jamie Clarke walks you through how to strategize and succeed in your own ventures. Jamie challenges his audience to reach their unique Everest and guides them towards building and leading teams to success.
This acclaimed adventurer and entrepreneur challenges individuals to brave their own Everest with memorable insights and actionable strategies on leadership, risk management, and defining and achieving your goals. As a mountain-climber, Jamie reached the Everest summit twice—but only after his first two attempts to reach the peak were cut short by deadly storms, leaving him only a few feet short of the summit. Determined and dedicated, he reached his goal in 1997 and 2010. Jamie is one of a handful of people in the world to hold the rare accomplishment of climbing the Seven Summits. Always one for new adventures, Jamie rode camels across the Empty Quarter of Arabia, motorbiked across Mongolia with his son, and has served as a performance coach for Olympians, the NFL, Hockey Canada and the 2018 Stanley Cup-winning Washington Capitals. Jamie is currently a fellow and associate professor at the University of Calgary’s Haskayne Business school where he teaches and mentors in the Centre for Advanced Leadership.
With gentle Canadian humor, Jamie walks you through his planning process on mountain expeditions and how to apply his lessons for business strategies. Mountain-climbing can mean plenty of risk; Jamie provides essential tips on handling risk management as you navigate challenges on your path. But Jamie offers the key to scaling the heights: retain your passion while nurturing and encouraging your team. His focus: creating an honest and authentic culture in your company that stays true to its mission.
Jamie relays the lessons he learned as the former CEO of a mountaineer clothing e-commerce business, which earned him multiple nominations for National e-commerce Innovation Awards by Canada Post. The mountain-climber’s high-energy message inspires you to set high goals, overcome obstacles, and remain passionate in your own entrepreneurial adventures.

Two-time World Champion Triathlete and four-time Hall of Famer Siri Lindley has coached Olympic medalists and World Champion athletes, and now she applies her winning strategies to business audiences, inspiring employees and teams to reach their highest performance potential.
Siri motivates audiences with her own life experiences as she demonstrates:
The value of leadership and inspiration. As an elite coach, Siri has mentored countless athletes, individuals, and business leaders. Her keynotes are renowned for highlighting the critical importance of strong leadership and effective motivation in business settings, inspiring audiences to strive for excellence. Her approach emphasizes the importance of self-care, purpose, and resilience, enabling individuals to not only excel in their careers but also find deeper meaning in their daily lives.
The power of perseverance and resilience. Siri herself has overcome immense life challenges to become a champion athlete. Her speeches inspire listeners to push through obstacles and overcome setbacks in their careers.
The benefits of a growth mindset. Siri emphasizes the importance of continual learning and improvement, showing how business leaders can find value in adopting a growth mindset to stay competitive and adaptable in a constantly changing marketplace.
The importance of a healthy work-life balance. As a triathlete, coach, and co-founder of two non-profits, Siri is no stranger to the challenges of balancing work and personal life. Her speeches encourage listeners to prioritize self-care and find a healthy balance between their professional and personal commitments.
The power of energy. In late 2019, Siri faced her own difficult battle when she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. Despite being given less than a 10% chance of survival, she was pronounced cancer-free by her doctors in May of 2020. Today her belief in thriving, not just surviving, guides others to master their own mindsets, emotions and purpose. Siri’s second book, Finding a Way: Taking the Impossible and Making it Possible (2023), provides readers with the tools needed to overcome their struggles and achieve the life they want to live.
Siri Lindley conducts her highly-rated ChampionMind corporate excellence programs and workshops across the country, and she and her wife, Rebekah Keat—also a world-class triathlete and coach—run the Sirius Tri Club for triathletes and the Siri and Bek Squad, which helps people transition to a healthier lifestyle. They have also co-founded two non-profits focused on rescuing horses from slaughter.
In 2023, Siri was inducted into the World Triathlon Hall of Fame.

Winning Big and Living Fearlessly
Fear can be either motivating or crippling. Without decisive action, fear left to grow in the dark will extinguish any chance for individuals, teams, and organizations to succeed. Former #1 triathlete in the world, Siri Lindley, powered through fear on her path to reach the highest level of this grueling sport. She believes that business is 80% psychology and 20% strategy. Siri shows how to train your team members to master their emotions, meaning, and mindset using her ChampionMind principles. This approach fosters a winning culture and a team grounded in accountability. In these times of uncertainty and disruption, Siri demonstrates that it's okay to be afraid, it's what we do about it that makes the difference. Her insights into team members’ physiology and “state” create teams with unstoppable momentum, all guided by her ChampionMind approach.
Succeeding as a Resilient and Fearlessly Authentic Leader
Two timeless traits of great leaders are resilience and authenticity. Great leaders are more crucial than ever as entire industries navigate global changes. After her competitive days as a #1 world-ranked triathlete, Siri forged a new path as a mentor and coach, training 11 world champions, 2 Olympic medalists, and hundreds of world-class competitors. She brings those same ChampionMind skills to organizational leaders by helping them reframe challenges and master their own mindsets, emotions, and meaning. What are the habits and rituals that support high team performance? How does a shared vision infuse your team with purpose, motivation, and energy? Siri even shows how to connect with your team to retain and grow valuable talent using her own ChampionMind approach.
RESILIENCE: How Your Mindset Can Take You from Battling Fears to Thriving
In November 2019, Siri Lindley’s world was shattered when she was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia. With only a 5% chance of survival, she could have succumbed to fear, but Siri refused to let grim statistics dictate her fate. She had already proven that the impossible was possible, becoming a world champion triathlete despite not knowing how to swim when she started. With that same unwavering ChampionMind spirit, Siri faced her illness head-on, determined to beat it. Her journey is a profound testament to resilience and courage. Siri passionately shares and teaches the ChampionMind principles that helped her defy the odds and emerge triumphant.
Re-writing Your Own Narrative for a Life of Authenticity
Every day, we author and build upon our own story. Who do we say we are? Who do we serve? Who are we responsible for? What burdens do we decide to carry that may not even be ours to carry? Former #1 world-ranked triathlete and coach to world champions, Siri Lindley, learned how to re-write the story she had been telling herself. From being a young woman with crippling self-doubt and debilitating obsessive-compulsive disorder, she transformed her life by using her ChampionMind principles, ultimately becoming a 2x world champion triathlete despite starting without knowing how to swim. Siri teaches audiences practical steps for breaking free from “Imposter Syndrome” and living a life of authenticity and intention using her own ChampionMind approach

Making Better Decisions Faster, How to Overcome Paralysis and Inspire Action
Even the most elite performers can rush to bad judgements, become paralyzed by indecision, or get worn down by decision fatigue.
In this keynote, Paul reveals the streamlined three-step process he’s used to turn around major sports franchises — from the locker room to the boardroom. Avoid decision traps, move forward clear and confident, and make the best out of your MVDs: Most Valuable Decisions.
Leadership & Growth Insights from the NFL & NBA
Culture can only scale when EVERY person in it takes full ownership, accountability, pride, and a commitment to daily excellence. That's the spirit of a champion, and culture (when done right) is our ultimate competitive advantage.
This keynote is inspired by Paul’s 15 years as a culture-building practitioner in the NFL & NBA (including multiple national awards for his work as Founder of the San Francisco 49ers Talent Academy), then stress tested across his training and consulting practice to deeply examine: what do the greatest cultures in the world have in common?
A Masterclass to Build Momentum and WIN
Sales is the lifeblood of every organization. Without it, there is no business to operate. No people to employ. No purpose to fulfill. No impact to ignite in the market. CONFIDENCE is what makes it all possible.
Paul realized how confidence can be the ultimate separator and competitive advantage needed to win as a sales leader in the NFL and NBA, breaking the all-time Super Bowl revenue record, surpassing billion-dollar goals while opening new NFL stadiums, and transforming cellar-dwelling NBA teams from 28th in league revenue to 2nd within a single season.

Human Centered Growth: Selling Value in the New Economy
Customer expectations and behavior are evolving faster than most sales organizations. B2B buyers considering a purchase now spend only 17% of that time actually meeting with potential suppliers and if comparing multiple suppliers, the amount of time spent with any one sales rep shrinks to 5%.
This reality requires a fundamental shift in go-to-market strategy and a radical evolution in seller skill and competency. Sales teams not only have to earn customer access from a position of expertise, but also use a new value-based, deeply customized approach to earn customer partnerships that can sustain growth into the future.
Ryan Estis is a former Fortune 500 CRO and sales transformation expert who teaches sales teams how to leverage this defining moment of transformation and change as a catalyst to create compelling differentiation in the customer decision journey to capture more market share.
Sellers will understand how to earn more customer access, position value over price, elevate customer confidence from a position of expertise, and drive decisions to close.
Inspired by compelling stories and actionable insights, each participant will leave acutely aware of how to humanize the sales process to build high trust/high value relationships that create partnerships for life.
Human Centered Leadership: Leading High-Performance Teams in a Forever Changed World
Includes lessons from Prepare for Impact
We have changed. Work has changed. And employee attitudes and expectations have changed. We are seeing the largest evolution in our relationship to work in the last century.

Ryan Estis teaches leaders how to leverage this defining moment of change as a catalyst to improve performance and empower our people by embracing the principles of human-centered leadership.
Blending surprising truths with actionable insights and inspiring stories, Ryan guides leaders through an interactive experience that prepares them to lead agile, collaborative, digitally enabled teams equipped to thrive in this rapidly changing environment while delivering impact for all stakeholders (customers, employees, suppliers, investors, and communities).

The former Director of Communications for Harley-Davidson Motor Company, Ken Schmidt has advised executive leaders of many of the world’s best-known brands, delivered more than one thousand keynote presentations, written two best-selling books and created a popular business podcast.
It’s an impersonal world, where so many products and services are seen as easily-replaced, indistinct commodities. Whether you stand out or get lost in the crowd is a choice. A mindset.
Ken Schmidt faced those same challenges himself and gained acclaim for his role in the extraordinary turnaround of the legendary Harley-Davidson Motor Company. That transformation was based on a change in mindset and a focus on answering three key strategic questions. While times have changed, what humans want and need from the businesses they buy from and work for hasn’t.
In his high-energy speeches, Ken inspires companies and individuals to shift their thinking and ride a path to success by becoming memorable – not for what they do or what they make, but for how they connect with people.
Ken is author of Make Some Noise: The Unconventional Road to Dominance. He’s also host of the “Tailgating with Geniuses” podcast and co-founder of Torque Sessions Leadership Training. In all of his endeavors, Ken brings an unconventional perspective that helps organizations and individuals reframe how they engage with their marketplace.

Full Throttle: Shift Gears, Stand Out, and Cruise to the Top
“No matter what we sell, make, or do, we’re a commodity to people who don’t know us,” says Ken Schmidt. Companies who understand that and change their mindset to engage customers differently will win big. Authenticity stands out in today’s impersonal world and Ken unpacks a roadmap for creating an unshakable emotional connection with customers. This talk is rooted in the ideas that drove Harley-Davidson’s incredible transformation and return to dominance as Ken and his team led the company’s shift away from focusing on product features and instead leaned into the key drivers of human behavior. As it did, H-D’s sales, profitability, and loyalty skyrocketed. Ken’s high energy and humor punctuate this talk as he shows businesses of every size and scope how to align everyone in the organization around a set of values that ignite customer passion, maximize sales growth, and stand out in their marketplace.
Sample Takeaways:
Discover the three questions that should drive every decision to protect and enhance your reputation
Transform the company mindset towards being known for who you are vs. what you do
Harness the three drivers of human behavior to create unshakable loyalty
Gain ways to be memorable so customers tell your story to others – in person and on social media
Elevate your business by humanizing it and delivering delight
Revving Up Reputation: Storytelling That Drives Success
A compelling and memorable story does more than engage – it moves people, reshaping perceptions and driving change. Ken Schmidt, the mastermind of Harley-Davidson’s resurgence, understands that potent narratives do more than catch attention; they change minds and distinguish your business from look-alike competitors. Leadership’s role is the engine that drives this process forward, fostering a culture where storytelling becomes the rocket fuel for this change. In this presentation, Ken delivers a strategic framework for organizations to redefine their narratives, guiding leaders and teams to uncover the core of their organizational identity and craft stories from within and beyond their walls. Through vivid real-world examples, Ken illustrates how authentic storytelling can elevate brands to a place of prominence and trust. This keynote doesn't just inspire; it redefines how organizations live out and communicate their uniqueness, forging indelible connections that turn casual customers into loyal champions.
Sample Takeaways:
Elevate the likeability of your business by crafting stories that delight customers
Uncover the three core elements behind every memorable story that's ever been told
Learn how to craft vocabulary that breathes new life into the seemingly familiar or mundane
Find your three most memorable and distinguishing storylines
Tap into underutilized opportunities to share stories
Discover simple tools that encourage employees to become storytellers
Gear Up: Fast Track Your Career
“How do you want to be talked about and what are you doing to make that happen?” Ken Schmidt reminds people that we are a story-telling species and getting noticed by customers or even in your own organization is about being memorable. Saying or doing what people expect doesn’t make you – or your business – stand out. In this talk Ken shows how to make a lasting impact. It starts with answering three key questions about how you want to be remembered. Ken reminds audiences that what people remember about you is dependent on how you make them feel about themselves. It’s more important to be interested – not interesting. Ken shares lessons learned from a celebrated career at Harley-Davidson and beyond to show how to build a personal brand that will fast track your career in today’s dynamic landscape.
Sample Takeaways:
Identify your unique qualities and how you want to be remembered
Hear ways to make others feel good about themselves
Learn how to take an active role in meetings and actively participate
Understand that by encouraging others to share their stories, you can then share yours
Ways to continuously improve your personal brand by focusing on R&R (Remember & Repeat)

In this talk spanning his baseball and business careers, Alex shares the importance of diversity for success.
