Opening General Session: Turn Chaos into Competitive Edge

Karen Post
At some point, we all face an obstacle or failure that seems insurmountable. But when you're down, you don't have to stay there. Learn how to create a turnaround and bounce back better than ever. Never fear—you can experience radical recovery and a return to glory.

Branding expert and serial entrepreneur Karen Post knows both victories and defeats from her quest to produce big results over the past three decades. Unorthodox, optimistic and full of wit, she will inspire you to take risks, be resilient and reap the rewards of staying open to new possibilities.


Sought out internationally for her insights, Karen has worked with everyone from athletes and entertainers to start-ups and Fortune 500 companies including Chevron, Bank of America, Pepsi and Procter & Gamble. She’s been featured in over 350 media outlets such as NBC, CNN, the New York Times and The Wallstreet Journal. Karen has also authored two books – Brand Turnaround: How Brands Gone Bad Returned to Glory… and the 7 Game Changers that Made the Difference (McGraw-Hill) and Brain Tattoos: Creating Unique Brands That Stick in Your Customers’ Minds (AMACOM).

The Credibility Advantage: Using Body Language to Sell Your Product, Your Service and Yourself

Chris Carter

Everybody is in sales. No matter what your job title or position, you’re always selling yourself! Get tips on how to identify when your prospect is ready to buy—and how to communicate so that they’re always buying YOU. And hear how to do this in person or in a virtual setting.

Christopher Carter is a popular speaker and entertainer and has been recognized as a leading corporate magician and mindreader. He’ll be the first to admit he’s not psychic – he’s simply an incredibly skilled observer of human behavior who will share a few secrets to success with you.

At a young age, Christopher began noticing how people broadcast thoughts in ways beyond words. This led to a lifelong interest in non-verbal communication and “people reading.” He studied psychology and theatre in college, then realized he could put them together while doing graduate work. Named one of the best mentalists in the world by the Psychic Entertainers Association, Christopher has delivered command performances for major companies such as Bristol Myers Squibb, Phillips Electric, John Deere and Exxon Mobile.
