Keynote SpeakersArianna Huffington

President,The Huffington Post Media GroupArianna Huffington is the chair, president, andeditor-in-chief of The Huffington Post Media Group, as well as a nationally syndicated columnist and author of 13 books.

In May 2005, she launched The Huffington Post, a news and blog site that quickly became one of the most widely read, linked to, and frequently cited media brands on the Internet. In 2012, the site won a Pulitzer Prize for national reporting.

In 2013, she was named to the Forbes Most Powerful Women list. In 2006, and again in 2011, she was named to the TIME 100, TIME magazine's list of the world's 100 most influential people.

Keynote SpeakersArianna Huffington

Redefining Success: The Third Metric That Can Benefit Your Bottom LineDuring her keynote address, Huffington will challenge the audience to use a third metric, beyond money and power, to define success. A metric that is based on well-being, health, our ability to unplug, recharge, and renew ourselves and find joy in all aspects of our life, including our job. Mounting evidence, both scientific and anecdotal, confirms that the practices that make us less stressed also make us more productive, and Huffington provides clear examples of how this is not only good for families and employees’ health, but also good for a company’s bottom line.

Eloquent and engaging, Huffington shares how ‘leaning back’ makes for wiser leaders and how ultimately, success is not just about money or position, but about living the life you want—not just the life for which you settle.

Keynote SpeakersGeneral Stan McChrystal

• Former Four-star General• Author of the best

sellingleadership book:“My Share of the Task: A Memoir”

A four-star general, he is the former commander of U.S. and international forces in Afghanistan and the former leader of Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC). He is also the author of the best selling leadership book, My Share of the Task: A Memoir. McChrystal, a former Green Beret, is known for his candor, innovative leadership, and going the distance.

General McChrystal co-founded the McChrystal Group in January 2011. Its mission is to deliver innovative leadership solutions to organizations, which help them transform and succeed in challenging and dynamic environments. To do this, the group teaches McChrystal's leadership methodology CrossLead, whose principles and operational structure are based on his military successes. CrossLead also addresses key leadership principles such as transparency and inclusion, leveraging the power of teams, and sharing a clear vision.

Keynote SpeakersGeneral Stan McChrystal

CrossLead: Lessons on Leadership from a Warrior, Statesman, and Scholar.In this dynamic presentation on leadership, General Stan McChrystal shows how modern warfare, business, and politics demand no-nonsense leadership that is as good at implementing change as talking about it. He reveals the power of culture, communication, and relationships, sharing stories, experiences, and principals that make his points.

McChrystal addresses such key leadership principles as transparency and inclusion, leveraging the power of teams through shared ownership, evolutionary change versus revolutionary change, relentless mission focus, and sharing a clear vision with everyone who must execute against it.

Play@Work: Unleashing Growth through Creativity and InnovationBy drawing from childhood lessons, Kevin Carroll reveals the relevance of play and how we must continue to tap into those lessons for our future success.

An innovator who passionately inspires leaders to create sustainable change in their own organizations, Carroll raises a variety of questions during the session including: Are you continuing to strengthen the creative genius of your organization? Do you have the necessary passion and creative endurance to deliver consistent and amazing insight and business ingenuity? Why should an organization’s business culture embrace the power of play even more in the 21st century? And how can a business culture that incorporates “purposeful play” affect leadership, employee quality of life, retention, and attract new talent?
