Keynote 2: The Next Level Leader

Do Things Differently to Stand Out and Get Ahead

Leadership is one of the most overused and misunderstood words in business, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Great leaders tell stories that inspire and engage people on a mission; they set high standards and expect the same from others; they communicate what’s expected and hold people accountable; and they work hard to discover areas of friction and continuously improve things.

If you have the ambition to be the best at what you do, then all you need are the tools to get there. Learn how to become a better leader, grow your business, and get the right things done. Discover the roadmap to business success and life-work balance. Learn the tools that every badass leader carries with them, including expertise, emotional intelligence, prioritization, delegation, follow through, networking, communication, organization, and kindness.
