Ross Shafer, Keynote Speaker

“Nobody Moved Your Cheese!”

Ross Shafer is a six-time Emmy Award-winning writer and television host whose books include Nobody Moved Your Cheese!: How to Ignore the Experts and Trust Your Gut and The Customer Shouts Back!: 10 Things You Need To Do To Earn Their Lifetime Loyalty, the result of 11 years of customer response research. He has also written and produced 14 human resource training films on customer service, employee relations, sales, and motivation and has appeared for a diverse

group of corporate clients including Alaska Airlines, Apple, Canada Life, Network General, Nordstrom, Nutrena Feeds, Microsoft, Toyota, Sprint, Discovery Toys, and Seagram.

Because he speaks over 100 times a year, Shafer often finds himself “on the bill” with best-selling authors and speakers. He has concluded that many of these so-called success experts are modern day snake oil salesmen, intent on selling temporary enthusiasm rather than providing usable, bulletproof principles.

Nobody Moved Your Cheese! is a common-sense alternative. Ross Shafer is a fierce proponent of taking responsibility for what happens in your life and being accountable for the outcome. “Nobody cares more about your life and your career than you do,” he says. “Nobody has a foolproof solution for you; except you. It’s time to start believing in and using your unique talents.”

Shafer will make you laugh, help you see your business in a new way, and inspire you to trust your gut to fulfill your own potential.

Golf Tournament

There’s a reason TPC Las Vegas has been called “desert elegance.” Designed by Bobby Weed and Raymond Floyd, the 7,063-yard course capitalizes on the beautify of the surrounding mountains and canyons and the glamour of the Las Vegas skyline to make one of the most stunning golf courses in the world. “As far as aesthetics and playability, I would put TPC Las Vegas up against any golf course you care to mention,” says Floyd. “It’s as unique as they come.”

TPC Las Vegas offers an experience that is naturally incorporated into the deep desert canyon washes. The course has wide fairway landing areas, soft undulating greens, many trees, elevation changes, steep ravines, and a canyon lake. While TPC Las Vegas meanders over several hundred acres of native desert, it has only 110 acres of irrigated land.

This par 71 course features Bermuda fairways that are over-seeded annually with Rye, TPC Las Vegas provides top-shelf playing conditions. The Pennlinks Bent Grass greens putt exceptionally true and possess an average green speed of 10.5.

Appropriate attire is required and must be observed at all times. Denim of any kind is not permitted. Shorts may be worn but must be of Bermuda length. Men must wear collared shirts. Women will be allowed to wear collarless attire. TPC Las Vegas is a metal spike alternative facility with a locker room equipped to change out any metal spikes for a minimal charge.

Grand Prize: His & Her Segways That’s right! You and that special someone can roam in style with two Segway Personal Transporters. While one is designed for easy operation over normal terrain, the other is equipped with Segway’s x2 Golf Package featuring turf-friendly tires, increased height, easy-access bag carrier, and scorecard holder. All paid registrants including attendees, exhibitors, and spouses are eligible to win this grand prize, sponsored by Bard Manufacturing Company.

This prize is being offered by the MBI Educational Foundation,

Inc., a 501(c)3 charitable nonprofit organization.

Bowling Tournament

If bowling is your game, don’t miss an opportunity to play at Red Rock Lanes, the largest luxury bowling center in Las Vegas.

Red Rock Resort, Spa, & Casino

www.redrocklasvegas.com No other hotel in Las Vegas capitalizes on its location quite like Red Rock Resort, Spa, & Casino. The dramatic red cliffs that inspired its name are just minutes away to the west, while the exciting action of “The Strip” is just a 10-minute drive to the east.

A standard room at this AAA Four Diamond award-winning resort is anything but standard. Every room at Red Rock boasts breathtaking views through floor-to-ceiling windows, either of the Las Vegas Strip or of Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. Luxury linens, two flat screen TVs, wireless internet access, and iPod docking stations are among the modern conveniences, while marble bathrooms include soaking tubs and separate showers.

The 87,000 square foot casino has more than 60 live table games, 3200 slot and video poker machines, a 15-table poker room, a 600-seat bingo hall, a race and sports book, and two high limit areas.

Nine restaurants at Red Rock include dining that spans the globe with the upscale T Bones Chop House , Italian food at Terra Rossa, Japanese fusion of Hachi, Mexican spices at Cabo Cantina, and a bit of everything at the Feast Buffet. A food court provides several faster options.

Red Rock is also family friendly with a two-story supervised children’s program, 16-screen movie theater, and an arcade. The 72-lane bowling center features state-of-the-art equipment and a contemporary design, including carpet that glows in the dark when it’s time for Cosmic Bowling. Adults can grab a drink at the Onyx or Lucky bars, listen to live music in the 220-seat Rocks Lounge, or go dancing at Cherry Nightclub.

For those wanting rest and relaxation, the 25,000 square foot spa offers 17 rooms for body treatments, a full-service salon, fitness center, lap pool, movement studio, and boxing rings. A one-of-a-kind adventure spa program allows guests to hike, cycle, and go horseback riding.

Three acres of pools, poolside bars, and outdoor lounging—including 19 private cabanas—are a great place for bare feet.
