Event Speakers
Liz Wiseman
Author and CEO, The Wiseman GroupMultipliers: How the best leaders make everyone smarter
“When leaders define clear ownership and invest in others, they have sown the seeds of success and earned the right to hold people accountable,” Liz Wiseman shares in her NY Times bestseller, “Multipliers, How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter.”
How can you inspire employees to surpass expectations? Based on years of research, Liz has identified two dramatically different types of leaders, Multipliers and Diminishers, and the five disciplines that mark the difference. In this presentation she’ll share real-world case studies, practical tips and techniques to bring these disciplines to life.
Multipliers and the impact players they empower can have a resoundingly positive, profitable effect on organizations — boosting productivity, developing and attracting talent, and driving innovation.

Presenter: Barry Shulman, Principal, Shulman Associates and Predictive Index Certified Premier Partner and Predictive Index Master Trainer
We’ll walk you through how to create a culture that matters to everyone, and delivers - from top to bottom.Today everyone talks about culture as a way to seduce new hires. But culture is not a cliché “key phrase” or about listing your company's values on your website, collateral and onboarding slides. It is the link that brings together your business and financial strategy, your leadership, and every employee in the organization, and keeps everybody rowing in the same direction at the same cadence. We’ll introduce you to a simple construct you’ll be able to understand and use called the “Bow-Tie Principle”, a fresh approach to creating a strong culture that unites people around simple goals and helps everyone get the job done which means meeting your strategic business and revenue goals.
