1.  Ross Bernstein

The Champion’s Code: Building Relationships Through Life Lessons of  Integrity and Accountability from the Sports World to the Business World
Ross’ signature keynote, “The Champion’s Code: Building Relationships Through Life Lessons of Integrity and Accountability from the Sports World to the Business World,” is all about the DNA of champions in sports and how that relates to business. It’s based on more than six years of research that resulted in two critically acclaimed series of sports-business books. The first examines how and why certain teams win world championships; while the other chronicles the unwritten and unspoken rules in the world of sports, or “codes” as they are known, which explores the fine line between cheating and gamesmanship — and the ethical consequences involved when that line is crossed.

7.  John Graci

THE GRAY ZONE: IT’S NOT WHO IS RIGHT–IT’S WHAT IS RIGHT!
We live in a culture where everything seems to be “either/or.” Us vs. them. For or against. My way or the highway. Division and confrontation seem to be occurring in every aspect of our lives. In the workplace, we experience these same functional divides: Sales vs. Service; Management vs. Employee; First Shift vs. Second shift; Baby Boomers vs. the Younger Generations.

9.  Ben Utecht

THE CHAMPION’S WAY 
On February 7th 2007, I stepped onto the Super Bowl field and into a Hall of Fame huddle with my teammates, including Peyton Manning and our head coach Tony Dungy. We became a world-class offense by creating a culture of champion leadership and dynamic communication. This culture was fueled by four foundational principles that together allowed each player to reach his greatest potential for the benefit of the team in a highly stressful and competitive environment.
