Off Balance on Purpose

Dan Thurmon, Author and Peak Performance Coach

Life is an off balance proposition. Achieving balance - a perfect symmetry - is an unrealistic objective. You will never get there! Life is in constant motion, and priorities and resources change all the time. That's why we need to embrace and initiate off balance moments in order to successfully engage life in all its aspects. In this dynamic keynote address, Dan Thurmon uses highly visual and creative means to demonstrate that "off balance" is how we learn, grow, excel and fully experience what is happening around us. It's tough out there right now. The question is: Are you thrown off balance in response to your world or are you off balance on purpose?

GENERAL SESSION

Management's 7 Deadly Sins

Gopal Kapur, Founder and President, Center for Project Management

Managers live in a maddening world. It's a world where expectations are off the charts, requirements are vague, commitments are tenuous, priorities shift and responsibility is often given with marginal authority. So what do most managers do? They jump into the chasm and hope the rope holds. We've all seen managers in this position and we've seen the classic mistakes that are made. In this session you will have the opportunity to assess yourself and your organization while learning practical solutions to avoid committing management's seven deadly sins.

SECOND DAY KEYNOTE

Cybercrime and You

Federal Bureau of Investigation

The insidious influence and effects of cyber crime continue to grow as the digital landscape has clearly become the "new frontier". Experts say that cybercrime has now surpassed illegal drug trafficking as a criminal moneymaker and that 1 in 5 people will become a victim. Government organizations, with their vast stores of private information, are irresistible targets. All this adds up to the biggest set of security challenges ever faced by government. This session takes a look at cyber crime and the best ways to assess, recognize, prevent and respond to attacks and vulnerabilities.
