Speakers
Mike Purcell
In 2004, Mike Purcell founded Compass Performance Group, LLC on the belief that the saying, "Our people are our greatest asset," is not necessarily correct. It should read "Good people are our greatest asset."
Developing good people requires good training. Using an engaging, relaxed style, helping you find ways to get your team to reach a higher level of performance is Mike's ultimate goal.
Chris Hall
As Vice President with Haddow & Company, a real estate consulting firm in Atlanta, Chris has over 10 years of experience as an urban planner and real estate consultant including project work on a wide variety of real estate assignments, ranging from feasibility and highest and best use studies to the marketing and disposition of land and investment properties. Chris will
share his analysis of the Southeast real estate market with us over lunch.
Bob Janet
Bob is one of the rare speakers who can say he has been there and done it, walked many miles in your shoes as owner / operator of wholesale, retail and service businesses. Combining 40 plus years of front-line, face-to-face selling and marketing experiences with his unique presentation style, Bob has helped business owners and sales professionals across the globe gain and retain
their most profitable customers for a lifetime of success.
Anthony Galie
For the past 30 years, Anthony Galie has been teaching audiences around the world how to get and stay motivated. As an author, speaker, and trained psychotherapist, Anthony has studied the secrets of top performers in every field. In his wildly entertaining keynotes, he shows
you how they achieve the unthinkable – and how you can put the same scientific
principles to work in your business and personal life.
