Registration, Opening Remarks and Opening Keynote

Courtney Clark, President of Accelerated Resilience, is joining us to open our day with Productive Persistence: How to "Give Up" to Get More Done. To achieve your goals, it seems like the best answer is to persist and persevere - but there's more than one kind of persistence.

Walk away from this keynote with the ability to: 

• Recognize hidden barriers to productivity and how to overcome them
• Identify the difference between a goal and a plan - and which ones to focus on that really matter
• Apply a simple framework to evaluate competing needs and decide which to prioritize
• Find the space to recover, regroup, and rejuvenate so you and your team can bring out your best, both in and out of work
