About the Keynote Presentation on Thursday with Adam Welcome

“The Time Is Now” – Stop talking about what you want to do and start doing what you want to do; the time is now!  We’re going to dive deep, we’re going to get personal, we’re going to make some changes.  You’re going to walk away with strategies that will help you focus on what’s most important, and a plan to implement those strategies with your team for bigger results!  You’re going to laugh, you’re going to think, you’re going to be challenged, you’re going to realize that you have what it takes!  Who’s ready?
