Session #1

Title: How Leading Moments and Measurements Can Change Your Future

In business, success rarely hinges on the big events—it’s shaped by the small, often unnoticed moments that happen long before the results show up on a dashboard. In this talk, Kurt Geldner reveals a groundbreaking approach that blends leading measures with “leading moments”: the pivotal behaviors, decisions, and signals that predict a company’s trajectory weeks or even months in advance. Drawing from the Leading Measure Growth Framework, Kurt shows how to identify these moments, turn them into measurable indicators, and use them to transform performance, accelerate growth, and create a future you can actually influence—not just react to. This is a practical, engaging look at how leaders can build stronger businesses by paying attention to what happens before outcomes occur.

Session #2

Title: Having the Right People in the Right Seats to Achieve Your Vision and Plan

You cannot achieve a great vision without great people.. Success in any organization begins with people — not just having good people, but having the right people in the right seats. This means aligning each person’s strengths, skills, and passions with the role that best fits them. When the right people are in the right seats, the entire team becomes more focused, efficient, and motivated to move in the same direction. This alignment is critical to achieving your company’s vision and executing your strategic plan. Without this, even the best ideas or systems can stall. Today, we’ll explore how to identify the right people, how we know when they’re in the right seats, and build a structure that supports long-term success.
