Keynote Speaker: Grace Andrews of Ignite "MOVING FROM SWAMP TO SOLUTION" In this interactive and dynamic session, Grace Andrews will demonstrate how communication can either create action or create powerlessness, and as leaders, how important it is to keep conversations focused on what’s possible, not what’s wrong. Grace will share a powerful communication model that is the cornerstone for all successful conversations. Moving from problem to solution, from complaint to success, is what this keynote is all about. Grace will engage your audience in the strategy of how to apply this model in their own organizations and lives. Join us for a program not to be missed if you want the best out of employees and out of yourself!

Grace fires up high-profile clients and coaches them to greater success with realism, passion, clarity and dangerously close-to-home humor. World-class firms rely on her to shift leaders, transform cultures and help power organizations to higher achievement. Her magnetic presence as a seminar leader has earned her an almost fanatical following. If you are lucky enough to work with Grace, you, too, will be privy to the bathmat story, the answer to what happens to folks who hang out in the swamp and the transformative power of speaking the truth.
