2023 Speaker Series for CEO, Business Owner Group CE4943 in Austin

_____________________

Our speaker workshops enable members to connect and gain insights from authors, content experts from around the country. Sessions last up to 3 hours with a group size of less than 20. My personal goal is that each attendee takes away one idea that is thought provoking.

They need to change.
They are wise enough to want to change.
They are energetic enough to change.
They want to be the best human being they can be.

Member and Guest goal

Walking away with at least one nugget will change the way you think, change your behavior for the better or change the way you do business. We will make you a better leader, making better decisions and increase your profitability and life balance.

2023 Speaker Series

January 18

Klyn Elsbury “The Reset Formula: 3 Steps to Peak Performance

Everyone faces “circumstances” that stand between them and their best life. It doesn’t matter how smart or how successful you are. We all believe we have internal and external factors that “limit” our options. Wouldn’t it be great if there was a simple internal process you could apply anytime, anywhere to remove these constraints, freeing you to have and do the things you always wanted but never thought possible?
April 19

Peter DiGiammarino “How to use the WHAT-WHO-WHY method to reveal disconnects and align your team”

Research shows that while business leaders agree that alignment is key to success, less <33% say that their top team is fully aligned across operating functions.

The WHAT-WHO-WHY tool and method, developed from the experience a dozen CEOs and COOs (among them Vistage members), helped create billions in value for private, public, private equity owned, and venture capital backed companies.

The WHAT-WHO-WHY Tool and Method are an important asset for every leader and team. Leaders who are clear about what they want use it to verify that everyone on their team is on board. Leaders in flux use it to engage their top team to help realign, fine-tune, or otherwise evolve what they are doing.
July 19

Dan Quiggle “It Can Be Done: CEO of Self”

A plaque bearing this inscription “It CAN Be Done!” sat on President Ronald Reagan’s desk in the Oval Office, symbolizing hope and optimism in the limitless potential of individuals who seek opportunity and freedom. Dan Quiggle will share lessons of leadership taught to him personally by Ronald Reagan during his once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work for President Reagan in his post-presidential staff office.

Hunter Lott “HR Roundtable 2022”: The New Normal

If HR isn’t considered a profit center, then you’re doing it wrong! Strategize HR like a general going into battle…like a coach planning for the big game. Execute HR with flexibility…like Elastigirl, the Mom in the Incredibles movies. What got us here, will NOT get us there. For most of us, it’s not about going back to “normal,” but anticipating what’s next.

March 8th, June 14th, September 20th and December 13th are our All Day Executive Sessions for Members only.
