Keynote Speaker Simon Sinek goes virtual for CCH Convention
He’s the mega-bestselling author of 5 business books, including “Start With Why” and “Leaders Eat Last”—and as one of the most requested leadership motivational speakers in America today, Simon Sinek is now a star on the virtual platform. Simon talks about how leaders can inspire cooperation, trust, and change. We confirmed Simon Sinek for a virtual keynote at last month’s CCH Forward Together Virtual Conference, and we’re still hearing the raves. Jason Marx, CEO of Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting, says that Simon Sinek gave attendees an “understanding of how to build resilience.”
Free Solo Climbers take center stage at corporate events–Here’s Alex Honnold!
The request from meeting professionals and event planners used to be for Everest Summiteers. Now a whole new level of Peak Performers have entered the keynote speaker arena: Free Solo Climbers. Yes, these daredevils of sport seemingly accomplish the impossible by climbing the most important peaks in America free solo—with no ropes and no harnesses. And as you hear the likes of Alex Honnold, Tommy Caldwell, and Emily Harrington (she’s the first woman to free solo Yosemite’s El Capitan in 24 hours!) speak, you’ll quickly understand why these 3 are so darn popular on the corporate speaking circuit. From Planning to Execution, to Overcoming Adversity, to Risk and Preparedness, even to Teamwork and Leadership—these freestylers of climbing check all the boxes when it comes to what at-home attendees demand.
Climbing a mountain with no ropes nor harnesses: the perfect analogy for business adversity.
