YOU MUST SHOW UP!

Deep down you know that nothing worth having will ever come easily. Yet it’s easy to forget that the things you have now may not be simple to keep. Tragedies in life can happen and you may find yourself having to fight to save the things you love or you may need to fight to rebuild all the things you’ve lost. It happened to me in Hurricane Katrina.

KEYNOTE TOPICS

Are you are a small business that faces complications with strategic planning, financial management, teamwork and general workforce changes? Then you are probably amongst the many institutions that are stuck under the deep and murky waters of issues that come with running a successful organization. Don't let your team drown any longer.

Join Marvin LeBlanc, LUTCF, CNP, as he chronicles his experience from the day before Hurricane Katrina of 2005 until the day he received his company's highest level of achievement award, Chairman's Circle. How was he able to achieve this after all 27,000 homes were destroyed or damaged in his area? This compelling presentation is filled with the heart breaking, but inspirational stories that surrounded New Orleans not so many years ago.

This signature keynote presentation is based off Marvin's Amazon.com best-selling book, Come Hell or High Water: Life Lessons From Hurricane Katrina.
