Summit 2015 Agenda April 9-10 DRAFT

KEYNOTE: Jeff Bercuvitz

Over the past 25 years, Jeff Bercuvitz has trained and coached thousands of community builders, educators, and other leaders in more than 40 States, throughout Canada and in numerous countries in Africa, Asia, and Europe. As president of SPARKS: The Center for Leadership, Innovation, and Community (CLIC), Jeff helps organizations succeed by guiding their key leaders and teams to discover creative, inexpensive, and enjoyable ways to make their work more successful, as well as more personally rewarding and sustainable.

 

ENDNOTE: Captain Phillips

An amazing leader…a highly intriguing story…a presentation of remarkable impact for your next meeting. Captain Phillips not only shares his compelling story – presented in his warm, highly personal style, but as a “floating CEO” in charge of the day-to-day operations of a multi-million dollar ship and the crew he managed, he also draws lessons from those dramatic events that can help you survive and thrive, even in these times when hope and support seem to be in very short supply. He will discuss the vital importance of leadership and teamwork, combined with a belief in the power and potential of yourself and your team, as seen through the eyes of an unassuming hero who conquered an extraordinary challenge. This “Hero of the High Seas” has a powerful and timely message that will dramatically energize and inform you.
