KEYNOTE #1
Leadership Is a People Sport: And It’s Game Day Baby
Leadership isn’t about titles, credentials or strategy - it is a people sport, and today is Game Day! Whether you’re leading a hospital unit, corporate team, or a fast-paced department, it’s easy to get sucked into the day-to-day grind and lose sight of why you are a leader to begin with.
The best leaders don’t just play the game - they coach, inspire, and develop others to win together. In this high-energy keynote, we’ll break down what it takes to level up your leadership, ditch the “player” mindset, and step into your role as the coach your team needs. Leading people is hard, but it shouldn’t feel like you just went 12 rounds with Mike Tyson (in his prime).
You’ll walk away fired up, confident, and ready to embrace a championship leadership mindset - because the difference between struggling and leading like a pro comes down to what you’re willing to do.

Team leaders, managers, anyone looking to improve their people management skills. Also, leaders in sports, entertainment, healthcare or Human Resources. Attendees who play sports, watch sports, or have kids in sports will find this talk relatable.

Superheroes Not Required: The Real Deal on Leadership
Forget the cape and superpowers—you don’t need them to lead. We often imagine leaders as bold, fearless, larger-than-life figures who always know what to do, but the reality is much more approachable. Leadership isn’t reserved for a select few with natural charisma or a perfect track record. The truth is, you don’t have to be a superhero to lead—whether on campus or later in your career.
In this session, we’re debunking some common myths about leadership, not just while you're in college but also as you transition into the business world. Leadership doesn’t magically change after you graduate; the same principles of influence, empathy, and authenticity apply, both in student life and the workplace.
No matter what field you enter after college, leadership is something that will shape your career and your ability to make an impact. Whether you’re the one in charge or contributing behind the scenes, you’ll find that leadership is about being your best self and helping others do the same. And the best part? You don’t need to be a superhero to do it.
