Navigating The Fishbowl Of Your Organization
Carl Gould, President, Chief Strategist Officer, 7 Stage Advisors
sponsored by arrivia

Every organization operates in a fishbowl—and growth is determined by how clean the water really is. In this high-impact session, Carl Gould shows leaders how to identify what’s accelerating results and what’s quietly contaminating performance.

Using the 4 Zones of Excellence™— attendees will learn how misalignment in one zone disrupts the entire business. Through practical frameworks and diagonal-opposite thinking, this session equips leaders to restore clarity, drive accountability, and engineer scalable, predictable growth by design.

X-TALK: THE AI EXECUTION GAP
Converting Tech Hype into Measurable Revenue
Don Markland, Co-CEO of Noomii.com & CEO of Accountability Now

I frequently see AI becoming a distraction rather than a revenue driver. In this 10-minute session, I move beyond the general “hype” of artificial intelligence to the specific operational structures required to monetize it. I will present a condensed framework for holding teams accountable to AI-driven outcomes, ensuring technology serves the P&L, not just the IT department. This is a strategy-first talk designed for executives who need to bridge the gap between AI potential and operational reality.

Don Markland is the Co-CEO of Noomii.com—the #1 Coaching Marketplace in the world with over 20,000 coaches—and CEO of Accountability. He serves as the Head of the Forbes AI Council, where he leads high-stakes conversations with global experts on the real-world impact of AI on leadership.

The Intersection of Growth and Networking
Colby Jubenville, PhD, Trusted Advisor, www.drjubenville.com

The reality is we are not prepared for the stages of life, business and relationships that come along with our careers. The opportunity today is to ask yourself “what do you really want?” And how, at this conference can you “get it and do it.”

Colby Jubenbille, PhD, a TEDx speaker, is a trusted advisor and expert in talent development, known for his framework designed to help individuals from all walks of life uncover, harness, and develop their talent.
