Wake Up West Coast with David VanderMolen
Tuesday, April 14, 2026 (7:30 AM - 9:00 AM) (EDT)
Description
Start your morning with coffee, networking, and a full breakfast buffet before diving into a keynote conversation with leaders shaping the future of business. You'll leave feeling not just inspired—but equipped!
In this engaging session, David VanderMolen challenges us to rethink how we show up in conversations. Through compelling stories and practical insights, he introduces three intentional listening habits that help leaders unlock potential in others, strengthen collaboration, and create more productive conversations.
Because leadership isn’t about talking more — it’s about listening better.
- Recognize "anti-listening" habits that weaken communication
- Practice three people-helping habits that build trust and empathy
- Develop listening skills that elevate leadership and problem solving
