| Have you ever met someone at an event and you just didn’t “click” and you weren’t sure why? At any given event, there are four different behavior styles present. There are Go-Getters, Promoters, Examiners and Nurturers – and each has a different way of communicating with others. Can you imagine the day you walk into a room full of people and know exactly how to gain referrals for your business? You understand what conversations to start with whom, how to develop beneficial relationships, the specific ways to motivate individuals, and even how to speak their language. Your behavior style IS affecting your refer-ability! In this presentation to discover how to adapt behavioral styles to make networking pay off in tangible business results for you. | |||

| 1pm | 2:10pm | 5 Pillars of Leadership w/ Angi San Souci, certified Maxwell trainer | Marriott, 5th floor |
| What makes the difference between a successful team, and one that does just the minimum? Leadership. Why do some people get more, and go further in life than others? Leadership. But you have to be 'born a leader' in order to get the perks of leadership – right? Wrong! Leadership is a learned and refined skill. John C. Maxwell, recognized year after year as being the leadership guru, states that leadership is predictable, and operates by laws. Twenty-One in fact – which he shares in his best selling book The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. In the Five Pillars of Leadership, Angi breaks down the foundation of those 21 Laws and provides easy first steps for anyone looking to improve their leadership skills. | |||
| 2:20pm | 3:30pm | Effective Networking: Unlocking the Hidden Messages of the Body w/ Jay Johnson, Coeus Creative Group | Marriott, 5th floor |
| It’s a known quantity in the working world – if people don’t like you, they won’t do business with you. So how do you make yourself more immediately likable? What tools can you leverage to quickly identify your allies and adversaries? How can you use simple communication techniques to gain more positive attitudes and perceptions from your potential clients? Knowing the answers to these questions can provide immediate impact to not only your reputation, but also your organization’s bottom line. In this humorous and innovative training, attendees will explore advanced concepts of body language, building rapport, and controlling anxiety while learning the strategic communication practices necessary to establish immediate credibility in the networking environment. Additionally, attendees will gain a better understanding of human behavior, and learn how to read and understand basic motivations within the networking and business contexts. | |||

| 10:15am | 12pm | Keynote Workshop: "How To Stay Relevant" w/ Culture Guru Robbe Richman | Marriott, Mackinac Ballroom |
| "The most important skill you have is the ability to stay relevant" It's no longer about being the best. It's no longer about innovating. There are so many ways to spend our money, our time and our attention. And change is happening so quickly that it's hard to keep up. Leaders are those in every field who stay the most relevant. It's so important that it's better to be hated than it is to become irrelevant, because when you're irrelevant you simply don't matter anymore. Is there a fate worse than this? Robbe Richman, former culture strategist of Zappos.com (Yes, that Zappos, the one where everyone loves to work) is sharing his brand new material with us the Jaycees. Companies like Toyota, Eli Lilly, Unilever, Harvard's Innovation Lab and many others call Robert in to help with their culture. But here's what he has to say about our annual meeting… "I haven't shared this with any of my corporate clients because it's too edgy. I've been working on it for 7 years and it's finally ready for audiences who are risk-takers and game changers. That's why I chose the Jaycees." This will go beyond anything you've seen. It's not a talk. It's an experience. |

| 3:30pm | 4:25pm | Workshop Session 1: Stages of Intentionality w/Angi San Souci, certified Maxwell Trainer | Marriott, 5th floor |
| We've all heard the proverb – The road to hell is paved with good intentions. There is one universal connection between all humans – regardless of age, religion, or ethnicity – we all want to make a difference. What's the difference between those who want to make a difference, and those who do? Intention. And intentionality is a process. In this workshop Angi walks through the four stages of intentionality using the system described in John C. Maxwell's book Intentional Living. By the end, participants will have a clear, defined road map of how they can go from "I want to…" to "This is how I'm going to…". | |||

| 3:30pm | 5:30pm | Workshop Session 3: Exploring the Michigan Urban Farming Initiative w/ President and Co-Founder, Tyson Gersh | Marriott, 5th floor |
| The Michigan Urban Farming Initiative is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that seeks to engage members of the Michigan community in sustainable agriculture. We believe that challenges unique to the Michigan community (e.g., vacant land, poor diet, nutritional illiteracy, and food insecurity) present a unique opportunity for community-supported agriculture. Using agriculture as a platform to promote education, sustainability, and community—while simultaneously reducing socioeconomic disparity—we hope to empower urban communities. 100% volunteer-run, MUFI is focused on the redevelopment of a two-square-block area in Detroit's North End. Tyson will share how MUFI has been able to do what they have, with best practices and take aways for your own community, and may also take you on a trip to the farm itself! | |||
