Your Future Leader – with Giselle Chapman

If you feel like your business success has stalled, this opening keynote with Giselle Chapman is where you need to be. As a leadership expert and business coach Chapman has heard people define success in many different ways throughout her career. Do you experience success through money or power? Job satisfaction? Is it something different for each and every one of us? Or is it something else?

In this inspiring conversation, Chapman will talk with the audience about leadership and what it means to be a leader in today’s challenging environment. Chapman recognizes and shares with audiences that behind every success,  lies a level of passion that transcends the boundaries of money and power and is far more profound than “job satisfaction.” Success is attainable by everyone, no matter what their position; it’s a philosophy for living our personal and professional lives.

Controlling the Controllables with Jake Thompson

In an industry where unpredictability is the norm, great leaders know that success isn’t about controlling every outcome—it’s about mastering what’s within your reach. The most effective leaders in construction, business, and life share a common trait: they focus relentlessly on the controllables.

This keynote will equip you with the mindset and tools to lead your teams through uncertainty with confidence. You’ll learn how to create a daily plan that maximizes impact, sustains momentum, and helps you avoid burnout. Instead of reacting to challenges, you’ll be ready to attack them head-on and guide your team to victory, no matter what lies ahead.

Key Learning Objectives:

• Master the Controllables: Identify and maximize the four critical elements within your control—attitude, effort, inputs, and focus.
• Lead with Intention: Build a communication plan that will help redirect your team productively during challenges.
• Overcome Obstacles: Learn how to navigate and push through the common roadblocks that derail most teams.
• Create Momentum: Turn small wins into big results by keeping your team focused and motivated in uncertain times.

This session isn’t just about surviving in unpredictable environments—it’s about thriving.
