Monday Keynote Speaker
Sarah Ohanesian
Founder of SO Productive
Sarah is the textbooks Type-A-corporate-ladder-climber who realized it's nearly impossible to exist in the professional world unscathed by the brushes of burnout.
After 15 years working for the same company, starting as an intern and rising to Chief Marketing Officer, she saw burnout, disengagement, and lack of purpose as huge problems affecting not only herself but her colleagues as well. Just like being blonde and 5'1", her identity was rooted in being busy. It was everything.
Sarah started to realize that high-performing individuals were hitting all the marks on paper, but in reality, they were stressed out, unfulfilled, and so stinkin' busy. She knew she had to do something about it. And if there's anything a high achiever is good at, it's creating more work for themselves. So she started a business, SO Productive.. then co-founded another, Super Productive.
Using her COAT productivity system, she helps reduce turnover and disengagement by empowering teams to think about a neuro-inclusive approach to productivity. Meaning, businesses don't just need productivity, they need productivity fit for every brain type and everyone on the team.
Tuesday Keynote Speaker
Barry Moline
With 29 years as a CEO, Barry has learned a lot about successful teamwork, management, negotiation, leadership, and influence. He is an award-winning author, who tracks trends and new ideas to work better, together. His award-winning book, CONNECT! How to quickly collaborate for success in business and life, divulges the secrets to developing great company culture and engaging teams.
There is power in sharing our personal stories as a means of connection. From his work with the U.S. Peace Corps in Guatemala to his leadership of associations, businesses, government, and non-profits, Barry has strived to solve the issues of communication stagnation, siloed information, and unfounded assumptions, to help his colleagues better relate to one another and create highly impactful organizations.
With a vast depth and breadth of experience, Barry helps individuals and organizations accomplish their goals. While there's no precise formula for leadership and success, effective people and organizations take similar actions that position themselves for opportunity. Barry is eager to share the keys and secrets that will lead to your success.
