Keynote Speaker: Ila Borders – Making My Pitch: A Woman’s Baseball Odyssey
Ila Borders’ passion for baseball started at a young age. Despite facing barriers and discrimination, Ila persevered and became a trailblazer for women in baseball. She then made history by becoming the first woman to pitch in a men’s regular season integrated professional baseball game and the first to earn a win in a men’s integrated professional baseball game. Ila’s success on the field has been matched by her dedication to mentoring young baseball players and her work as a Training Captain for Clackamas Fire District #1. Her non-profit, “Fire Up Bootcamp”, is aimed at helping women and minorities enter the fire service. Ila’s story is one of resilience, courage, and giving back, and her legacy continues to inspire others to overcome barriers and achieve their dreams.

Power of Don’t – Communication and Leadership Excellence
This presentation focuses on how the human mind is divided into two basic aspects, the conscious and subconscious mind. POD will give the participants a new understanding on how these two aspects of the human psyche work with each other and how to ensure training and mentorship are completed properly to ensure long term memory recall. With the tools the participants gain they will be able to relay information better, increase the success of learning and decrease the time spent on training and information delivery. The participants will be able to communicate messages more efficiently, increase their own long term memory recall and share these tools to help others with memory recall and information delivery.
Critical Mass of Risk – Risk Management and Risk Tolerance
This is an interactive presentation that shows the aspects of risk tolerance and how the work culture can change the level of risk tolerance that people find acceptable. The Presentation will show how quickly risk tolerance changes through visually learned and group behavior. The participants will see first-hand that once a certain level of people engage in a risk-based behavior, critical mass is achieved, and that behavior becomes cultural. The result of the presentation is to bring awareness to risk tolerance, to what causes people to accept risk-based behavior and give the participant tools to ensure that they have an understanding about their risk tolerance and the expectations of the company that they are employed by.

Speaker: John Bricks
Before becoming a keynote speaker, I was a police officer for a major metropolitan city. During my career I gained a high level of training and instructor certification from the FBI and various other institutions around North America that helped me understand the remarkable power of the subconscious mind. I now consult for one of the world’s largest IT companies, advise multinational companies and have been a keynote speaker across the world. Through direct experience and formal training, I created a very innovative and progressive set of instructional philosophies and tools. Tools which are easy to apply and create an immediate increase in personal success, memory retention and happiness. Many people that have attended my presentations and used these tools have experienced an exponentially accelerated level of career growth, life satisfaction and emotional intelligence development.
