    January 10, 2025 – Fantasy Sports Pioneer Larry Schechter and Neurodiversity at Work Ludmila Praslova

    Larry Schechter – Fantasy Sports Expert and Author of The History of Fantasy Sports: And the Stories of the People Who Made It Happen Larry Schechter is the author of the 2014 Amazon bestseller Winning Fantasy Baseball. He is regarded as one of the best fantasy baseball players in the world. Larry was a two-time winner of the CDM Sports national salary cap contest, defeating 7,500 teams in 2002 and 6,000 teams in 2005. He has competed in the two most prestigious experts leagues, winning the USA Today-sponsored LABR league three times and the Tout Wars experts league six times. One of his keys to success in fantasy baseball is attention to detail. He used that ability in researching, conducting interviews, and writing The History of Fantasy Sports. Larry is now retired and lives in Florida.Dr. Ludmila Praslova – Professor of Graduate Industrial-Organizational Psychology at Vanguard University and Author of The Canary Code: A Guide to Neurodiversity, Dignity, and Intersectional Belonging at Work Ludmila N. Praslova, Ph.D. is named a member of Thinkers 50 2024 Radar, a global group of 30 management thinkers leaders whose ideas are most likely to shape the future of work. She is a Professor of Industrial-Organizational Psychology at the Vanguard University of Southern California and regularly writes for Harvard Business Review, Fast Company, Psychology Today, and Forbes. She is the first person to have published in Harvard Business Review from an autistic perspective. Dr. Praslova is a talent strategy expert with extensive experience in global diversity and neurodiversity. Her early experience in global diversity taught her the importance of creating culture-add work environments. However, the same experience and her continued career have shown that focusing on one aspect of diversity is not enough. Globally aware organizations are not always gender-inclusive, gender-focused advancement programs can exclude based on disability or socioeconomic origin, and neurodivergent people are often forgotten or segregated even in organizations considered champions of inclusion. As a first-generation academic and a neurodivergent woman, Dr. Praslova knows first-hand that single-focus “inclusion initiatives” leave people behind. However, the principles of creating culture-add organizations can be applied to building systems for intersectional and holistic inclusion. Her consulting is focused on creating organizational systems for supporting human dignity and well-being, and providing neuroinclusion training to organizations such as Amazon, Bank of America, and MIT. She has a PhD in Industrial-Organizational Psychology from the University of Akron and is a Senior Certified Human Resources Practitioner (SHRM-SCP). Dr. Praslova is an avid open-water swimmer, a gardener, and a poet.

    December 18, 2024 – SupportLogic Krishna Raja and Cognito Forms Jennifer Dellacroce

    Krishna Raj Raja – Founder & CEO of SupportLogic, Inc. and Author of  Support Experience. How Innovative Companies Are Using Artificial Intelligence to Win the Hearts, Minds, and Wallets of Customers Krishna Raj Raja delves into how AI is helping companies strengthen customer loyalty – an increasingly essential strategy for growth in today’s competitive market. Krishna’s work reveals how AI is shifting the focus of customer support from reactive to proactive, predicting emotional escalations, and helping companies preemptively resolve issues. His innovative approach to AI redefines what it means to truly “listen” to customers. With over a decade of hands-on experience in AI and customer experience, Krishna’s background as a founder and engineer gives him a rare combination of technical and strategic insight. He’s led initiatives at SupportLogic that have transformed customer engagement for global brands like Salesforce and HPE, giving him an exceptional, real-world perspective on how AI can drive business success. One of the most interesting points Krishna addresses is the concept of “silent churn” – when a customer is unhappy but doesn’t voice it, leading them to eventually leave. AI can detect these signals early, allowing companies to take action before it’s too late. This would be an exciting topic to explore with your audience, particularly as more companies aim to focus on long-term customer retention rather than new acquisitions.Jennifer Dellacroce – President of Cognito Forms Jennifer Dellacroce is the President and co-founder of Cognito Forms, a workflow productivity platform that enables non-developers to build applications for their organizations.

    December 13, 2024 – Sex Talk Dr. Stephen Furlich and Trauma is a Catalyst Carrie Rickert

    Dr. Stephen Furlich – Author of Sex Talk: How Biological Sex Influences Gender Communication Differences Throughout Life’s Stages Dr. Stephen Furlich is the author of Nonverbal Epiphany: Steps to Improve Your Nonverbal Communication. He is also the best-selling author of a breakthrough book, Sex Talk: How Biological Sex Influences Gender Communication Differences Throughout Life’s Stages. He has taught and researched communication at the university level for over 20 years. He has taught a variety of communication courses with the main focus of better understanding oneself and others. Often, his research projects and the courses that he taught, complemented each other and lead into innovative directions. Dr. Furlich has been an associate professor at Texas A&M University since 2018 and served as an assistant professor there for five years prior to that. He has presented at many conferences, including: DFW Metroplex Linguistics Conference, Society for Information Technology and Teacher Education Conference, E-Learning Conference, National Communication Association Conference, Southern States Communication Association Conference, International Academy of Business and Public Administration Disciplines, and International Conference of the American Pragmatics Association. Dr. Furlich, who was recently interviewed by One America News Network, has been published in numerous journals, including: Texas Speech Communication Journal, Kentucky Journal of Communication, The Florida Communication Journal, Journal of Applied Communication Research, Academic Exchange Quarterly, Journal of Integrated Social Sciences, and Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. His communication paradigm is from a receiver’s perspective. This places the emphasis on the listener to better understand from the speaker’s perspectives and as a speaker emphasizing understanding from the listener’s perspectives. Both of these become more challenging as differences increase between the speaker and listener. Dr. Furlich has become fascinated with technological advancements in science that have enabled a better understanding of communication. Without these scientific advances, understanding communication is quite limited. This line of research has inspired him to write this book to bring together many different scientific studies to better understand the role of biology with nonverbal communication cues. He earned a Doctor of Philosophy in Higher Education, a Master of Arts in Communication Studies, and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Texas Tech University. He resides in McKinney, Texas.Carrie Rickert – Principal at Nomis Advisors and Author of Trauma is a Catalyst  Carrie Rickert brings more than fifteen years of coaching experience, working with 300 CEOs and small business owners in deep-dive analysis for understanding their concerns, needs, and areas of improvement, for themselves and for their business.

    Chris Greco - Author of 8 Steps to Overcoming Everyday Adversity   Chris Greco is a dedicated father, husband, and CEO known for his faith, underdog grit, and perseverance. His boundless energy and core values approach have been instrumental in uniting organizations to achieve goals that once seemed unattainable. In 2023, as CEO, Chris successfully turned around a retail technology company, safeguarding employee jobs and delivering returns for investors. The former CEO of the largest food distributor in the US praised him, stating, “Greco took a company from nothing and turned it into an industry-wide success.” Earlier, in 2016, he led the growth of a mobile technology provider, culminating in a $1.3 billion exit. In 2008, he orchestrated a transformative go-to-market strategy for one of America's largest telecom providers, generating over 1,000 new subscribers daily during the competitive launch period of Apple’s technology.

His company can take a 1000-foot-long ship and reduce it to a pile to reusable materials. He has grown into other areas such as battery recycling. He recounts his life-changing experience with SHD, a health supplement he stumbled upon after battling angina and its debilitating symptoms. Struggling with leg cramps, shortness of breath, night sweats, and chest pains, Wayne also grappled with anxiety and a lack of energy, resigning himself to the fate of heart-related issues that plagued his family. However, upon learning about SHD through a friend in Vancouver and being inspired by studies from renowned institutions like Harvard, Wayne decided to give it a try. Astonishingly, within two weeks of taking SHD, he noticed improvements in unexpected ways – his hearing returned, and his respiratory system cleared, leading to a significant boost in energy. Over the course of three months, Wayne transformed into a revitalized version of himself, feeling as energetic as he did decades ago. This transformation propelled him into a new phase of life where he actively engaged with others, becoming a spokesperson for Jim Strauss, the creator of SHD. Wayne’s involvement extended to radio shows and lectures, allowing him to share his incredible journey with thousands of people suffering from various health issues. His enthusiasm and dedication to natural health solutions led him to become a regular guest on radio networks in the USA and Canada, where he continued to spread the word about his positive experiences with SHD and its miraculous effects on individuals dealing with diabetes, heart disease, low energy, and clogged arteries. Wayne’s story highlights the power of painless, safe, and affordable health products, emphasizing the beauty of solutions that genuinely work.

He has lived and worked in Australia, New Zealand, USA and Asia.

Steve has served as a non-executive director of Telstra, Fletcher Building, Medibank Private and David Jones and as a non-executive director and advisor to a range of Australian organisations, from start-ups to large established companies. Through Shifts and Shocks is Steve’s first book.Mehak Gandhi – Head of Research at Valuecreator and Co-Author of Triple Fit Strategy: How to Build Lasting Customer Relationships and Boost Growth Mehak Gandhi is the Head of Research at Valuecreator, Switzerland,where she designs and implements B2B growth accelerator programs and next-generation sales organization strategies. She has conducted research and training programs with leading global companies including Allianz, Konica Minolta, Maersk, Schneider Electric, Sennheiser, Schindler, Thermo Fisher Scientific, VAT, and WMF/Schaerer. Simply put: It’s time for companies to rethink their growth logic and strategy. Imagine how much more value would result if companies no longer operated in a transactional buyer-seller relationship, but instead as a singular team. If they could collaborate on decisions around planning, execution and resources like they were one company , they could orchestrate growth together. Instead of the narrow-minded “product selling” playbooks that businesses have long followed, the authors lay out the Triple Fit Strategy framework where customers are at the heart of three core “fit” areas: planning, execution and resources. Helping companies escape the product-centric mindset, their decades-long research shows that companies who apply Triple Fit Strategy contribute 10x more to their customers’ success and can double account values in less than three years. The book also draws from extensive training and advisory work with Fortune 100 and global companies (Microsoft, Coca-Cola, GE, BASF, Sonos, Best Buy and more), including Danish shipping giant Maersk, which unlocked hundreds of millions of dollars in new business opportunities using the Triple Fit Strategy with a New Zealand-based customer. With a database of 10,000+ cases, TRIPLE FIT STRATEGY introduces an entirely new approach to business. Complete with practical steps to invite your customers and stakeholders into your company’s internal process, businesses will also be able to better evaluate customer relationships and allocate resources for faster breakthroughs.
