    Great ideas don’t sell themselves — you do. In the healthcare distribution sector, your ability to influence others isn’t a “nice-to-have”; it is a crucial skill to help save time, money, and ultimately, patients’ lives. Whether you’re an up-and-coming leader raising a red flag, a manager ensuring protocols are followed the right way, or a senior leader driving change across organizations, your success depends on how well you pitch your ideas and rally support.
     
    Tami Reiss, a leadership coach and CEO of The Leader Within, will share practical techniques to communicate with clarity, build trust and move others to action — no matter their title. You’ll walk away ready to pitch your vision, influence others at all levels, and gain momentum behind your ideas.

    Remember when being a leader meant having all the answers? Today's most successful leaders are asking better

    questions. In a world of unprecedented opportunity, they’re not the most certain, but the most curious. According to research, this shift in profile — from know-it-alls to learn-it-alls — means we may be overlooking the very leaders we need right now.
     
    Learn why the future belongs to forward-thinking leaders who can navigate relentless change by activating their team’s innate potential to learn, adapt and grow Drawing on bestselling books Heather McGowan will demonstrate how exceptional performance depends on empowering rather than managing, building trust rather than enforcing processes, and harnessing collective intelligence for breakthrough results.

    To the untrained eye or casual fan, it is often believed that it is the fighter with the strongest muscles or best physique who will win an MMA fight. Actually, the last person standing in the cage is often the fighter with the deepest purpose.
     
    Learning to strengthen and stack your WHYs is a skill — and one that sets apart a winning fighter from the rest. Reminding yourself of why you are fighting and who you are fighting for is how the bar of high performance gets raised during a fighter’s “peak week.” This is the crucial time before a fight, as you let yourself heal from a grueling “fight camp” of training.
     
    We are all fighting for something: at home, at work, with our teams, for our personal goals or for our community. Tapping into both a fighter’s mind and a fighter's heart, and applying it to life, will help anyone achieve peak performance and find that flow state while in hot pursuit of any goals and give you a new game plan — and a new edge — for victory.
