Opening Keynote Presentation - Ben Nemtin

Resilience In the Face of Uncertainty

Tuesday, Oct. 15 | 9 - 10:15 a.m. MST

The world is changing faster than we ever imagined, leaders and teams have to dig deep within themselves to break through and find opportunities in uncertain times. Before becoming a #1 NYT best-selling author, playing basketball at the White House, having beers with Prince Harry, or living out his other dreams, Ben suffered from crippling depression.

After committing to a series of positive life changes, Ben had a shift in perspective that changed his outlook on life and opened himself up to endless possibilities. From there he committed to following his buried dreams and helping others through acts of service. The rest is history and Ben’s life-changing message has opened up audiences around the world to cultures of service, gratitude, and endless potential.

As a result of this program, attendees will:

  • Recognize that all aspects of your life impact your work performance
  • 8 practices that increase well-being during times of stress, anxiety, and burnout (Resilience Toolkit)
  • Proof that small acts of service can create a large-scale impact in your organization and community
  • Transform your perspective to optimize performance
