The comprehensive conference schedule is also highlighted by prominent keynote speakers Peter Sheahan, Ross Shafer and Ross Bernstein.
In his keynote address titled "FL!P: Creative Strategies: For Turning Challenge Into Opportunity And Change Into Competitive Advantage," Sheahan, a National Speakers Association Hall of Fame recipient who is known internationally for inspiring innovative business thinking and creating lasting behavior change, will explore best practices from multiple industries that have experienced similar transformative change and unpack the key insights from those who profited from the change compared to those who have become victim to it.
Shafer will deliver an address called, "The Future Of Growth Is To Be A Peripheral Visionary," which delivers the know-how to help your team find new opportunities from outside your immediate scope, even when you’re under extreme pressure. This session explores ideas to eliminate dangerous tunnel vision, to harvest an endless supply of good ideas, how to find competitors in your blind spot, and ways to capitalize on your competitors’ weaknesses.
“The Champion’s Code: Life Lessons of Ethics and Accountability from the Sports World to the Business World," is the closing headline presented by Bernstein, who will get attendees thinking about their own DNA – and about the differentiators they possess that would ultimately lead customers to choose to do business with them. At the core of his message is the simple fact that we like to do business with people who we trust, who we like, and who just "get it."
The conference is open to owners and managers of collision centers using PPG Refinish products.
