SIGNIFICANCE IN SIMPLE MOMENTS

Success and relationships in today’s risk management world, are not finish lines, something we conquer, or even single accomplishments. Mutually beneficial relationships are in fact a series of simple moments that matter to those we serve. Relationships are what connect us as leaders to the communities we serve along with our team members, partners and all human beings. It’s how we re-engage the lost art of human connection.

Motivational keynote speaker and author Jon Petz shares the extraordinary value in turning mundane moments into SIGNIFICANT, memorable—even MAGNIFICENT chances to positively impact those you serve and protect—every little corner of your world and the people in it!

Bob Wilson, Mark Pew, and Ya’Sheaka Williams will interactively share with the audience how to recognize a training gap, ideate methods to address the issues, create a diverse team to build the vision, and then make it a reality.
