Chris Wooten – Being The Leader Worth Following

One question Chris Wooten, owner of Bodyshop Athletics, posed to the audience was “Would you follow you?” He
had everyone in the crowd take a “selfie” and step outside of their bodies to take a look at themselves. If you want to lead, you’ve got to get out
of your comfort zone and get to the front of the pack. During this talk, you’ll learn how Chris did that through his Marine training and in his business
and how you can do the same.

 

Todd Carnes – How To Pursue Wisdom

Throughout life, wisdom is a word that gets thrown around a lot, but it is not often pursued because it is usually not the most urgent item on the agenda.
Wisdom doesn’t pay the bills, so in many cases the pursuit of wisdom gets put on the back burner and stays there while people pursue success. Success
is urgent. Wisdom is important. But Todd Carnes, town councilman and general manager of SouthernMed, warned that “success without wisdom is a dangerous
force.”

So, how do you pursue both wisdom and success? Todd offers three ways during his talk.

Kellar Kissam, Chief Operating Officer and President of Generation, Transmission and Distribution for SCE&G, explains how you lead others who have

leaders”.

Learn which one you are and the tools that can help you lead and support those around you both personally and professionally.
