Presenter: Spencer Jones – CEO, Jonesin’ for
Description:
Most teams do not fall apart overnight. They get heavier.
Leaders carry more decisions, more pressure, more people issues, and more uncertainty than most people realize. Over time, that pressure can quietly affect clarity, communication, decision-making, morale, and retention.
In this practical presentation, Spencer Jones helps attendees understand how leadership pressure shows up in everyday work and why doing more is not always the answer. He shares a simple framework leaders can use to pause, recognize what is happening, and choose a clearer next step instead of reacting from stress or overwhelm.
Attendees will learn how to identify early signs of leadership strain, reduce mental overload in real time, and create a steadier pace for themselves and their teams.
This session is ideal for business owners, executives, managers, HR leaders, and team leads who want to stay calm under pressure, clear in the moment, and effective as their organization grows.

Presenter: Matthew Rabe – Founder/Owner, Kingdom Training
Description: Your team isn’t underperforming because of bad strategy. They’re underperforming because of who they believe they are. Most leadership problems aren’t process problems, they’re identity problems. In this session, leaders will learn to identify the hidden belief loops and internal narratives quietly limiting their team’s performance, and understand how learned helplessness takes root in a culture without anyone realizing it. Because you can’t lead people out of patterns you can’t see. From there, we’ll break down how a single shift in meaning can immediately change how your team makes decisions, responds to pressure, and executes not after a long change management initiative, but in real time. Finally, we’ll expose the identity-performance connection most leaders miss: you can’t build a high-performing team by managing behavior alone. When you learn to shift identity at the root level, yours and theirs, consistent execution stops being something you have to force and starts being something your culture produces naturally.
No theory. No fluff. Just the framework that turns struggling teams into operators.

Some of the costliest mistakes in business happen in the silence before a hard conversation that never takes place. Avoiding conflict doesn’t preserve relationships; it erodes them. This session explores why difficult conversations are so hard to have, how generational and gender dynamics shape the way we approach — or avoid — them, and what it costs individuals, colleagues, and organizations when we don’t engage.
Attendees will leave with a practical framework for approaching challenging dialogue with clarity and confidence, a deeper understanding of how generational and gender differences influence communication styles, and strategies for turning avoidance into action in both professional and personal settings.

Presenter: Rebecca Kellner – Attorney, McCarty Law
Description:
Every time an employee calls in sick, discloses a medical condition, or reports a workplace injury, a manager’s response can either protect the company or expose it to significant legal liability. Many managers don’t realize that a single conversation about an employee’s health can trigger overlapping obligations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), state leave laws, and workers’ compensation.
This 45-minute session equips managers with a practical framework for recognizing the legal “tripwires” hidden in everyday workplace conversations. Attendees will learn how to identify when an employee’s absence, disclosure, or injury report may invoke protected rights may involve a protected condition, what they should and shouldn’t say or ask, and when to involve Human Resources.
Through real-world scenarios, we’ll cover how the ADA’s reasonable accommodation requirements, leave-of-absence obligations, and workers’ compensation protections intersect, the dangers of well-intentioned but legally risky responses, and the cost of getting it wrong. Managers will leave with a clear, actionable checklist they can use immediately.
This session is designed for frontline managers, supervisors, and operational leaders; no legal background required. Presented by an experienced employment attorney who works with businesses navigating these issues daily.

Presenter: Rebecca Kellner – Attorney, McCarty Law
Description:
Most leaders know they need to hold employees accountable, but too many hesitate, worried they’ll say the wrong thing or expose the company to a lawsuit. That hesitation often leads to something far more dangerous: inconsistent expectations, no documentation, and a termination that looks retaliatory or discriminatory because no one can show what led up to it.
This 45-minute session gives leaders the confidence and tools to have direct, honest performance conversations without fear—and to know exactly when to pause and involve HR. Attendees will learn what they can and should say to set clear expectations, deliver constructive feedback, and address performance deficiencies head-on. Just as importantly, they’ll learn the keywords and employee disclosures (such as references to medical conditions, discrimination, harassment complaints, or protected leave) that should cause them to stop, listen, and loop in the right people before taking action.
We’ll cover the critical role that regular, documented conversations play in building a defensible record, why “surprise” terminations are a company’s biggest vulnerability, and how consistent accountability practices actually reduce legal risk rather than create it.
Designed for managers, supervisors, and anyone in a leadership role; no legal background required. Presented by an experienced employment attorney who partners with businesses every day.

Description:
As the Fox Cities enters a new phase of transformation, local businesses are not just adapting to change. They are shaping what comes next. AI, advanced manufacturing, clean energy, and digital platforms are expanding what is possible. At the same time, expectations are rising around purpose, trust, and impact.
This session explores how to navigate that tension without losing what matters most. Through a humanity-centric lens, leaders are challenged to think differently about value creation. Not only in terms of growth and efficiency, but in the lives improved, talent developed, and communities strengthened along the way.
The focus shifts from technology alone to the people who will apply it, question it, and ultimately determine its impact. What does it take to build organizations that can move fast, adapt continuously, and stay grounded in values? How do you turn emerging capabilities into practical advantage while bringing your workforce and community with you?
Leaders will leave with a clear way to move from insight to action. They will make smarter bets, build resilient teams, and help shape a future that works for their business and for the region they serve.

You are spending tens, maybe even hundreds, of thousands of dollars on enterprise AI licenses, yet your bottom line hasn’t moved. Between licenses sitting idle and employees using AI for “fluff” tasks that don’t impact your goals, it’s easy to wonder if your investment is just an expensive fad.
The truth is, access isn’t adoption. Most teams are stuck because they haven’t been shown how these tools apply to their specific strategic initiatives and day-to-day work. This 90-minute workshop eliminates wasted spend by transforming your AI tool from a novelty into an indispensable partner tailored to your team’s specific function. Whether you’re targeting the HR team, Operations, Sales, Finance, or another function within your business, I can tailor this session to their unique workflows and objectives.

Beyond the Paper: Build Your Brand So It Precedes You!
On average, a recruiter looks at a resume for about 6 to 8 seconds during the initial screening process. The way I see it, before a recruiter ever opens your resume, they should already know your name. This session is designed for those tired of being “just another applicant” in a digital stack. We are shifting the focus from passive application to active presence.
True professional standing doesn’t happen in a Word document; it happens when you live your value out loud. We’ll explore how to “build yourself forward” by cultivating a reputation that precedes you. This isn’t about catchy fonts or cover letter templates, it’s about radical authenticity and visible expertise.
I’m here to help you learn how to:
Stop waiting for permission to be noticed. Learn how to embody your value so brightly that the resume becomes a formality, not a gatekeeper.

Description:
Hiring an independent contractor instead of an employee can seem like the simpler, more affordable option. But misclassifying a worker is one of the most common and costly mistakes small business owners make, and the consequences can include back taxes, penalties, unpaid benefits, and exposure under wage and hour, unemployment, and workers’ compensation laws.
This 45-minute session gives small business owners a clear, practical understanding of what actually distinguishes an employee from an independent contractor and why the answer isn’t as simple as issuing a 1099 or having a signed agreement. We’ll break down the key factors agencies and courts look at, including control over how and when work is performed, the nature of the working relationship, and economic dependence. Attendees will learn about common pitfalls and how to structure contractor relationships the right way from the start.
Whether you currently use independent contractors or are considering it, this session will help you make informed decisions that protect your business. Designed for small business owners and entrepreneurs; no legal background required. Presented by an experienced business and employment attorney.

Description:
Workplace harassment training shouldn’t be a box to check, but a conversation that changes behavior. Too often, employees sit through generic presentations that don’t connect to their actual work environment, leaving them unsure of what crosses the line, what doesn’t, and what to do when something feels wrong. Meanwhile, companies remain exposed.
This 45-minute training is designed to meet employer harassment training obligations while delivering real, practical value to every person in the room. Attendees will learn what legally constitutes unlawful harassment, how it differs from general workplace conflicts, and which protected categories are covered under federal and state law. We’ll walk through realistic scenarios that show how harassment claims often develop from conduct that seemed minor at the time and discuss what every employee is expected to do when they witness or experience it.
For managers and supervisors, the training addresses the heightened legal responsibility that comes with leadership, including the duty to act on what you see or hear, even if a formal complaint is not made, and how a delayed or mishandled response can create direct liability for the company.
This training can be delivered as an all-employee session or tailored separately for leadership. Presented by an experienced employment attorney who regularly advises businesses on prevention and compliance.

This session is designed for companies seeking meaningful, cost-effective ways to strengthen workplace culture and improve employee retention. Many employees are quietly managing the demands of caring for aging loved ones while working full time. This often impacts focus, stress levels, attendance, and performance. By 2030, all baby boomers will be 65 or older, and more than half of family caregivers are also employed, creating a growing workforce challenge.

Description: You’re not stuck because you lack strategy. You’re stuck because of what you believe. Most people don’t have an execution problem, they have an identity problem. In this session, attendees learn to spot the hidden belief loops and internal narratives quietly running your results, and understand exactly how learned helplessness forms without your awareness. Because you can’t change what you can’t see. From there, we’ll break down how a single shift in meaning can immediately change your emotional state, your decisions, and your output, not in 90 days, but in real time. You’ll experience it in the room. Finally, we’ll expose the identity-performance connection most high performers completely miss: behavior doesn’t drive identity, identity drives behavior. When you change who you believe you are at the root level, consistent action stops being a grind and starts being automatic. No theory. No fluff. Just the framework that makes real change finally stick.

Description: Your nervous system is the operating system behind your professional performance, dictating how clearly you think, how effectively you lead, and how much energy you have left at the end of the day. Neurosomatic Intelligence (NSI) is a simple, science-backed way to work with your brain’s natural wiring to change how you feel and perform in real-time. In this interactive session, we are moving beyond generic, “one-size-fits-all” stress management. First, you will learn how to “check in” with your nervous system using a variety of simple assessments. This will allow you to read your body’s signals and respond effectively. Then, we will practice three quick, “high-payoff drills” that take only minutes but can instantly sharpen your focus and boost your energy across the work day. By using these targeted drills, you can shift your nervous system out of “overdrive” and stress-based “F-responses”—like fight, flight, freeze, or fawn—and back into a calm, parasympathetic state where your body can truly rest and digest. Most importantly, you will walk away with specific tools to help you flip the switch from “work mode” to “home mode”. By mastering these simple shifts, you can protect your productivity at work and, more importantly, ensure you have the energy and presence to enjoy your life rather than just rolling through the motions.

Description:
This presentation outlines the value of Occupational Health services and the important role they play in helping organizations build and maintain a healthy, productive workforce. It emphasizes that long-term success depends not only on hiring the right people, but also on supporting employees’ health and well-being throughout their employment.
We review Occupational Health best practices that help reduce workplace injuries, ensure regulatory compliance, and support timely, effective care when incidents do occur. These services also focus on prevention, including screenings, early intervention, and workplace health strategies that help minimize risk and reduce downtime.
A key theme is the importance of taking a holistic approach to employee health and wellness. This means addressing physical, mental, and emotional well-being so employees can show up as their best selves at work. When organizations invest in comprehensive wellness support, they often see improvements in engagement, retention, and overall productivity.
Ultimately, the presentation reinforces that healthy employees are essential to a thriving organization. By combining strong hiring practices with proactive Occupational Health and wellness initiatives, employers can create safer workplaces, support employee success, and drive stronger organizational performance.

Burnout in today’s workplace is often less about workload and more about how we communicate, the boundaries we hold, and the patterns we repeat every day, both at work and in our personal lives. This presentation explores how unclear communication, people-pleasing tendencies, and blurred boundaries contribute to stress, disconnection, and burnout. Participants will gain practical, easy-to-apply tools to communicate more clearly, set and maintain healthy boundaries, and shift patterns that lead to feeling overwhelmed. Rather than adding more to an already full plate, this session focuses on simplifying how we show up at work and in our lives.
