The NEW Game: How to See What Others Can't

The Old Game is over. The teams that win now are the ones who can let it go — and learn to play the NEW game. A keynote for leaders and teams navigating relentless change — AI, tariffs, market volatility, and constant reinvention. Whether they're setting strategy from the top or driving growth, sales, innovation, or a company-wide transformation, Marc gives them a way to release the old playbook, see the new game clearly, and think sharply while everyone else reacts. Instead of providing another framework, he focuses on the lessons and competitive edge coming from 2,600 years of timeless principles — the same ones the most studied figures in history relied on to stay clear in chaos and see what others couldn't.

To Suffer Well

Suffering is an unavoidable part of being human, but it can also accelerate our search for what makes a life meaningful—if we allow it to. Nick explores how the hardest experiences of our lives can clarify what matters, change how we see the world, and ultimately invite us to choose more consciously who we want to become. Woven into the Human by Design theme: what remains distinctly human in an increasingly AI-driven world.

THE MERIT WE MISS: How to Keep Good Intentions from Producing Mediocre Teams

In an ideal world, organizations would have plentiful time to develop talent. In reality, the pressure to deliver results now means employee development becomes reactive, opportunities are missed, and organizations quietly erode.

Attendees will learn how to identify development gaps, create a culture of growth, eliminate ineffective practices, and set high standards that motivate without causing burnout.

THE INTELLIGENCE OF SOUND: From Vibration to Medicine to Human Potential

Karen Holly explores a provocative idea: sound isn't simply something we hear—it is physical energy capable of interacting with the human body. From emerging acoustic technologies transforming modern medicine to research exploring how sound and vibration influence human physiology, her work asks us to reconsider what sound can do—and what may still be possible.

Karen's perspective is an unusual intersection of two worlds. For more than 20 years, she led Fortune 500 technology strategy, organizational transformation, Agile leadership, and executive coaching. Today, she brings that same systems thinking to sound, neuroscience, human physiology, breath, and somatic practice—exploring their relationship to health and our capacity to think, connect, lead, and perform.

I Was There

Terry Lammers' new book, I WAS THERE, documents a lifetime of gut-wrenching and inspiring stories of his time as a volunteer firefighter in his small hometown. A mogul in the business world, world-class speaker, and financial genius, Terry still took the time to volunteer in one of the most demanding ways a human can. He's the epitome of what the people in THE Impact Network embody. A true heart of service regardless of the personal cost. This how we know AI will never overtake humans... it can never feel and experience the depth of emotion and service that Terry will be sharing during his keynote.
