GREAT SPEAKERS. GREAT TOPICS.

Vince Poscente:  Full speed ahead in 2010 -- Leadership Strategies for Mission Alignment
A new world of change has assembled itself within a decade. In the next ten years it will happen again.
This revolution will be speed. We’ve been taught that to embrace speed we do so at the expense of
quality, cost, and peace of mind. Not so. The old values don’t always apply in the old way. It’s a new
game with different rules. Learn from New York Times bestselling author of The Age of Speed, Vince
Poscente, how to make speed our ally. This renowned business strategist and world-class Olympian
delivers powerful leadership strategies for aligning employees with a common mission.

Dave Prentice:  Reinventing Value: Delivering a differentiated client sales & service experience
Many of the mighty have fallen… GM*, Nortel, Crabtree & Evelyn, Lear Corporation, Eddie Bauer, Bear
Stearns, Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers and Chrysler… just to name a few. The survivors are all trying
to live up to their “brand promises’ with fewer people and watered down resources. An opportunity has
been created to develop a corporate culture that delivers a differentiated client sales and service
experience. *Note on General Motors. In February2008 David Prentice addressed the GM Executive
team and predicted GM would file for bankruptcy in 2009 because they had failed to deliver a
“Differentiated Client Sales & Service Experience”. How do you avoid becoming the next GM?

Dr. Richard Loreto:  Demographic Change and the Future Marketplace:
Is the Elephant still in the Room?
Demographic change is not destiny but it is a key driver of future trends. Economic events dominate
now, but looking ahead today’s fearful consumer, unemployed young person, and popular social
networks are not the template for 2019. Demographic change is a window on the future. Learn why.

Gareth Wheeler:  "Faster -- Higher -- Stronger" How the Olympic motto is
experienced, lived and perpetuated through its competitors -- not only on the
playing field, but in every aspect of their lives.

who’ll shine in front of the world at Vancouver 2010.

Kim Parlee: Never Let A Good Recession Go To Waste

only” dealing with the current economic environment… but prospering. War stories from seasoned
Canadian executives on how they navigate and propagate their businesses in this tricky time.

Michael Hoffman: You Don't Know Jack about Building Value!
There simply is not a more direct connection to sales success than your ability to bring value. Tap into
the techniques that the top one percent of sales executives employ “on purpose” everyday to reach
maximum results. In-depth strategies that have the potential to accelerate your career more than any
other single action you take.

Bill Benjamin: Science of Great Leaders
Is there a science to great leadership? The answer is yes. The key is learning the science of managing
emotions. A recent Harvard study reports that Emotional Intelligence is the greatest driver of success
in leadership. It counts more than IQ in leadership performance. What are the two key reasons
individuals get promoted? What executive characteristics lead to the highest results? How does our
emotional make-up affect our colleagues?

Leslie Michener:  ROI! Seven must-dos to unleash the power of Learning &
Development for business impact
HRD is at the table because L & D is now a strategic issue. Corporations are seeing returns on their
learning investment. Finally, learning is measured in terms of behaviour change, performance
improvement and business impact. L & D professionals are educators and business consultants. Some
corporations get it. Come and see where you stand.

Jeff MacInnis:  The World Wins -- Racing Towards A Clean and Healthy World
Since the beginning, humans have raced. At first it was the race to eat and not be eaten. Today, the
biggest race of all is the race to create a vibrant, livable world. Amazing human innovations in clean
energy, smarter cars and better ways to live are transforming the way we live. This race is still gaining
momentum. How have humans raced and won throughout history? Jeff’s Six Race Rules can instantly
be applied and used as tools to move individuals and organizations forward.

Jo'Ann Alderson:  Rude, Mood, Attitude -- Welcome To The Faceless World!
We connect at warp speed. Abbreviate sentences to sound bites. Call more than we meet. Fire off
blunt e-mails. Avoid the phone. Transactions trump relationships… at our peril. Rethink the Send
button as communications expert Jo’Ann Alderson unveils what we’re really sending and receiving –
even when we’re not. Are you alienating the very people you need to persuade, convince, cajole,
provide for and team up with every day of your life?

Jennifer Evans:  Social Media: Understanding and Reaching Customers Online
Should Facebook be part of your marketing outreach? What’s the big deal with Twitter? Do I need to
be on YouTube? Jen Evans walks us through how organizations and individuals can get in touch with
their customers with the power of new online tools. Create successful communications strategies using
new social tools and know when to leave them alone.

Dr. Derrrick MacFabe & David Patchell-Evans:  An Autism Update. 
You are making a difference.

Tommy Spaulding:  Are You Creating Fifth Floor Relationships?
Tommy Spaulding, author of Seven Laws of Fifth Floor Relationships will enlighten you! We’ve all heard
the old saying "It’s not what you know, it’s who you know”. That message rings true, but it comes up
woefully short in the 21st century economy. In today’s world, it’s not just who you know, it’s much,
much more. Building meaningful relationships with employees, customers, clients, and your community
must become more than a “feel good proposition”. These relationships, when they become part of the
fabric of an organization, generate sustainable success to the bottom line and make a difference well
beyond the lives of any individual or any organization. Tommy’s inspirational message will transform
your career, your organization and your life.

alive. His dynamism is infectious. He knows how to bring the best out in people. He also happens to
be one of the best speakers in North America.
