Keynote: The Most Underrated Advantage in Business:  Being Human
Wednesday June 24, 2026 10:30am - 11:15am CDT
BLDG M Moraine Rooms
For many, the leaders we look up to possess qualities that make them - and their positions - feel untouchable.   Whether in person or on our screens they appear poised, articulate, masters of their domain, living lives most can only dream of.  The truth, however, is far more complicated and surprisingly relatable.  In fact, you have more in common with your heroes than you ever thought possible.  In this talk, Parham Eftekhari distills his lessons learned from 20+ years engaging with leaders at the highest levels of government and industry.  Through honest, often funny, and sometimes raw storytelling, attendees will leave with a renewed sense of confidence and a clearer understanding that the ability to lead, influence, and create impact isn't reserved for a select few. It starts with embracing the most underrated advantage in business and in life... being human.
