2 2015 APEGBC Annual Conference and AGM KEYNOTE SPEAKERS Leadership: Start With Why Luncheon 12:00 pm 1:45 pm Stephen Shedletzky A Field Guide to Productivity and Performance in a Hectic World Luncheon 12:00 pm 1:45 pm Bruce Kirkby Why are some people and organizations more innovative, more influential, and more profitable than others? Why do some command greater loyalty from their customers and employees alike? Stephen Shedletzky shares a simple and powerful idea called the Golden Circle, discovered by his colleague Simon Sinek. The Golden Circle explains that the leaders and organizations who have the greatest influence all think, act, and communicate in the exact same way, and it s the complete opposite of everyone else. It s not about changing who you are, it s about understanding who you are. The modern brain is busier than ever before, swamped with information and distraction, making it increasingly difficult to reap the rewards that come with sustained effort and concentration. The successful in our society artists, athletes, executives, professionals have learned to maximize productivity and performance by spending less time on the mundane, and more time on the inspiring and rewarding. In his newest keynote, Bruce Kirkby shares stories from the Himalayan travels, along with simple mindfulness strategies like Offloading and Filtering, that allow our brains to relax, and perform the great work they are truly capable of.
