Keynote Two

Achieving Transformation

Acknowledging, Assessing, and Surviving Change

Transformations can be both personal and professional. In order to truly achieve transformation, however, we must assess, acknowledge, and survive the change. Nick will explore the no-holds-barred truth about personal and professional evolution. Attendees will learn why change is important, the psychology behind it, and how we can energize ourselves and our organizations by harnessing our passion for delivering exceptional results.

“Nick is much more than a speaker or trainer. He is an inspirer. If you consider yourself an innovator, then you need to see him. If you don't consider yourself an innovator, then you need to see him. You will leave a better human being either way.”
