You won’t want to miss this powerful session with Marc Otto, who brings over 21 years of experience working with more than 50 organizations to help employees rediscover meaning and purpose in their work. While data will be part of the conversation, the real heart of this session lies in the stories—true accounts of how disengaged employees reconnected with their value, purpose, and potential.

You’ll walk away inspired and equipped to view your people as your organization’s greatest asset. You’ll learn why slowing down to understand, recognize, and collaborate with employees is not just the right thing to do—but the most effective long-term strategy for reaching organizational goals and retaining top talent.

This session is a call to action: to spark a culture shift toward deeper engagement, renewed energy, and real results. Expect inspiration, practical tools, and unexpected insights into how to reengage the employees who may be burned out, overlooked, or simply ready for something more.
