Amazon best-selling author of “Healing the Corporate World,” Maria Gamb, is the keynote speaker.

The learning and networking event is designed to enable participants to actively learn from and network with leaders, experts, practitioners and colleagues in group information sessions and table discussions and includes three, one-hour practical application training sessions: 1) Leadership and Listening, 2) A Coach Approach to High Performing Teams and 3) Storytelling: A Coaching and Leadership Tool. Handouts with application tips for integrating in the workplace are provided along with an offer for a free follow-up private coaching session to help reinforce the information learned.

In her planned keynote address, “Stepping Out of the Shark Tank: The New Rules of Engagement for Leaders,” Maria Gamb will seek to break the perceptions of leadership down, reassembling them with an entirely new set of rules of engagement. Gamb is a monthly contributor at Forbes magazine and co-hosts a national radio show.  Her first book “Healing The Corporate World” quickly became an Amazon Top 10 Best Seller in the category of business leadership within hours of release. She is a contributing author to “The Rise,” a modern day parable of creating business and personal success by changing your underlying perceptions. As a former Fortune 500 executive trailblazer, Gamb spent more than 20 years directing and managing successful businesses valued in excess of $100 million. Bringing global understanding to business leadership, Gamb has lived in both England and Australia, and has worked extensively internationally throughout Asia, Europe and the Australasian Basin.
