Keynote Title and Description
Be Happy First:
Resilience and Breakthrough Performance In Times Of Change
After Neil’s wife left him and his best friend took his own life, he crash-landed in an empty downtown bachelor apartment.
Just twelve months later, he was working directly for the CEO at Walmart, running the International Academy of Digital Arts and Science’s “Best Blog in the World”, and had just published The Book of Awesome, which stormed the New York Times bestseller list and sold over a million copies.
The lesson was clear:
resilience and growth can come from challenge and change. An inspiring talk that shares action-based ways to lift performance to new heights.
