October 2026 Luncheon -"People and Profit"
People and Profit
Every organization has a story it tells itself. The numbers are down; the strategy needs work; the market shifted. But the story is incomplete. A new plan won't "fix" what's broken if it doesn't center around people as the only sustainable path to profit. Heather DeSiena has watched talented teams collapse and struggling ones rise, and the difference was never in the data. It was in the leaders willing to confront what was actually happening with their people. This keynote challenges you to stop managing from a distance and start looking at the real breakdowns. When people come first, the profit always follows.
