Bryan Widenhouse was given a life without parole sentence when he was 17 years old. During his incarceration he accepted accountability for the harm he caused and chose to serve the community and better himself. Bryan has developed and managed national award-winning projects and programs. He served five terms as president of the prison’s chapter of the U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce. In each of those terms they were named the #1 chapter in the nation. Within this organization he also served two years as a state level program manager. In 2005 he received the organization’s highest award, the Junior Chamber International Senatorship. In other areas of service Bryan was an Alternatives to Violence facilitator, a Red Cross instructor, and a peer counselor. He successfully authored a grant to fund a prison art class and helped to develop a victim/offender mediation program. He has obtained three vocational degrees. After the U.S. Supreme Court outlawed life without parole sentences for juveniles, Bryan was granted parole in November 2020. He had served 31 years of incarceration. Shortly after his release he joined the National Life Without Parole Leadership Council with Human Rights Watch. The Council progressively works toward the abolishment of LWOP sentences and advocates for second look agendas. He has spoken to members of Congress, testified to legislators, and helped to develop a Speakers’ Bureau to use his voice and experiences to change the narrative of extreme sentences.

Jody Holland was born and raised in the Texas Panhandle, where he developed an early gift for taking complex ideas and making them simple — and for helping the people around him find their potential. He turned that gift into a career, earning a B.A. in Communications with a minor in English Literature and an M.S. in Psychology, and founding his company in 1999 with a single mission: to build leaders worth following. Over the past 27 years, Jody has trained and done business in 14 countries and across the United States, working with organizations that range from the Fortune 50, Fortune 100, and Fortune 500 to fast-growing small businesses in nearly every industry. He has delivered more than 300 keynotes — in person and virtually — trained over 300,000 leaders, and authored 23 books, along with co-authoring more than 30 training programs on leadership, supervision, management, sales, and service. His work is built on one idea that reframes how organizations think about their people: employees don't quit companies, they quit people. Roughly 81% of turnover traces back to an employee's direct supervisor — which means the most expensive problem most organizations face isn't in the budget, it's in their leadership. The encouraging part is that leadership is a skill, and skills can be taught. That belief powers Jody's signature framework, The 4 Roles of a Leader — Connector, Corrector, Visionary, and Transformer — and a body of programs built to produce measurable gains in retention, engagement, performance, and profit. On stage, Jody is known for holding an audience's attention from the first minute to the last — earning the laugh, then earning the notebook. A certified face reading practitioner, he reads the room in real time and adjusts to the energy in front of him, so audiences don't just leave inspired; they leave with a practical playbook they can use Monday morning. He has coached more than 1,000 executives, CEOs, and owners, delivered the keynote at the Texas Governor's Small Business Conference, and worked with clients as varied as Lockheed Martin, Walmart (where he trained their trainers worldwide), and Vanguard, along with banks, healthcare systems, associations, municipalities, universities, and family businesses. Jody holds a B.A. in Communications and an M.S. in Psychology, is a Certified Business Mediator for the State of Texas and a Certified Face Reading Practitioner, and was named Communicator of the Year at the Toastmasters Texas Conference. Whether on the main stage or in a breakout, his goal is the same: to help your people become leaders others actually want to follow — and to build something your team will still be talking about next quarter.

The medium is the message and now the medium is AI and Social Media Common Workshop and Meeting Challenges Executives often face significant challenges when conducting workshops and meetings. The first major issue is the lack of engagement and participation. Many participants become disengaged, leading to less effective learning and collaboration. Secondly, there is a concern about poor knowledge retention and application. Even when sessions are engaging, participants often forget what they've learned or fail to apply it in their daily tasks, undermining the long-term value of the training. Finally, inefficient use of time is a frequent complaint. Workshops and meetings can consume significant time without delivering proportionate value, with sessions often filled with unnecessary discussions or activities that do not lead to actionable outcomes. How UWT Fixes These Issues United We Transform (UWT) addresses these challenges by integrating advanced digital twin technology and AI-driven customization. UWT ensures continuous engagement through personalized learning experiences and AI-powered interactions, keeping participants actively involved.

An ad on the NYC subway drove my entire professional career. In reality, it wasn't a single ad, but a series of ads put out by the NYC Teaching Fellows, encouraging recent graduates and career changers to give teaching in New York City public schools a chance. What I thought would be a two-year stint while I figured out what I wanted to do with my life turned into a 14-year tenure at the NYC Dept. of Education. Fourteen wonderful years, sparked by a long commute from the 4 train from the Bronx to Wall Street, to a job that I didn’t find fulfilling. Teaching opened a world of possibilities in leadership, learning and development, and self-reflection that I can’t imagine coalescing in any other role. A few lessons learned during my ten years as a high school math teacher: • Being good at something does make you good at teaching that subject- time, practice, patience, and experience are necessary components • Applied knowledge is far more valuable than memorized facts • Ask your students what they want to learn and how they learn best • High schoolers are the weirdest, most-thoughtful, and inspirational people to learn with My interest in using technology to support learners lead me to a role at the NYCDOE central offices. There, my team developed a robust professional learning platform to help teachers improve and advance their practice. Our work impacted over 100,000 NYC educators. Transitioning to facilitating adult learning reaffirmed my love of helping empower individuals to help themselves. Adult learning taught me a few new lessons. • Learning needs to be practical and applicable • Technological tools do not replace well-designed learning experiences • There is always someone in the room whom you can learn from As the Head of Learning Experiences at StoryIQ, I take these lessons (and more) to heart as I design courses supporting professionals in upskilling their communication with data and analysis skills. I believe that we all have something to teach, and learning with a community can profoundly impact organizations, big and small. I have the honor of leading a team of trainers and content developers – all of who share the innate curiosity and love of teaching that I have. No matter who or what I’m teaching, my goal is to spark curiosity and make new skills and concepts accessible to all learners.
