OPENING KEYNOTE

Dan Thurmon head shotOff Balance on Purpose

Dan Thurmon, Author and Peak Performance Coach

Life is an off balance proposition. Achieving balance - a perfect symmetry - is an unrealistic objective. You will never get there! Life is in constant motion, and priorities and resources change all the time. That's why we need to embrace and initiate off balance moments in order to successfully engage life in all its aspects. In this dynamic keynote address, Dan Thurmon uses highly visual and creative means to demonstrate that "off balance" is how we learn, grow, excel and fully experience what is happening around us. It's tough out there right now. The question is: Are you thrown off balance in response to your world or are you off balance on purpose.

GENERAL SESSION

Gopal Kapur headshotManagement's 7 Deadly Sins


Gopal Kapur, Founder and President, Center for Project Management

Managers live in a maddening world. It's a world where expectations are off the charts, requirements are vague, commitments are tenuous, priorities shift and responsibility is often given with marginal authority. So what do most managers do? They jump into the chasm and hope the rope holds. We've all seen managers in this position and we've seen the classic mistakes that are made. In this session you will have the opportunity to assess yourself and your organization while learning practical solutions to avoid committing management's seven deadly sins.

SECOND DAY KEYNOTE

Cathilea Robinett, Executive Vice President, Center for Digital Government/e.Republic, Inc.

You've made cuts in your budgets, staff, services and some of your most strategic programs and projects. As a result, you've probably been left with greatly lowered expectations about what comes next, if you've allowed yourself to think about it at all. But there are encouraging signs that the worst is over. Suddenly the most important question becomes "How do we survive the recovery?" If this has been a different kind of recession, it calls for a different kind of recovery. Some call it a "fundamental reset." It's an unprecedented opportunity - if we're ready. This keynote address is filled with practical advice while exploring what "life after" might be like for our organizations, for the communities we serve and for us as individuals.
