Speakers

Barry Moline – The Future of AI and Leadership

With 29 years as a CEO, Barry has learned a lot about successful teamwork, management, negotiation, leadership, and influence. He is an award-winning author, who tracks trends and new ideas to work better, together. His award-winning book, CONNECT! How to quickly collaborate for success in business and life, divulges the secrets to developing great company culture and engaging teams.

There is power in sharing our personal stories as a means of connection. From his work with the U.S. Peace Corps in Guatemala to his leadership of associations, businesses, government, and non-profits, Barry has strived to solve the issues of communication stagnation, siloed information, and unfounded assumptions, to help his colleagues better relate to one another and create highly impactful organizations. With a vast depth and breadth of experience, Barry helps individuals and organizations accomplish their goals. While there’s no precise formula for leadership and success, effective people and organizations take similar actions that position themselves for opportunity. Barry is eager to share the keys and secrets that will lead to your success.

BONUS!! – Barry will provide a ½ session analyzing your handwriting!! Fun for Everyone.
