Details:
 Headlining this year’s conference will be keynote speaker and award-winning author, Justin Patton, who took the stage a couple of years ago as our opening speaker at EMERGE. During his presentation, entitled YOUR ROADMAP TO TRUST, Patton will guide participants through the four crucial elements of trust, the #1 trait that erodes trust, and how to apply those concepts in your life for better relationships and influence. Trust is your most important competitive advantage, and the best leaders use their presence to earn and keep others’ trust. 

​The opening keynote features nationally recognized diversity and inclusion speaker Denise Hamilton, who will present on How to Be an ALLY at Work. In any organization, there are challenges and opportunities surrounding inclusion. The best just has to be brought out of you. In this talk, participants will be challenged to excavate the underlying beliefs that shape their strongly-held opinions around race and intersectionality. Together, Denise will help participants identify shared values and develop a framework for incorporating different perspectives. The goal of this deep-dive conversation is to harness differences within teams to generate creative and innovative solutions to move others to optimal performance. By aligning your teams, especially leadership, Denise helps you create a path to competitive excellence, improved morale and increase retention.
