About Keynote Speaker Tom Flick

ABOUT TOM

Tom Flick, former 7-year NFL quarterback, has garnered a reputation around the world as an authority on leadership and leading change by helping organizations like Google, Starbucks, Mercedes-Benz, and the Pentagon develop lead- ers, lead change effectively, seize opportunities for growth, and increase teamwork and organizational performance.

LEADING IN A CHANGING WORLD

Knowing how to lead yourself and others through change is imperative. Leadership creates an urgency to succeed and thrive in a turbulent world – motivated not only by thoughts but also by feelings. Feelings that lead to fast-moving ac- tions focused on addressing important issues: a deep-felt determination to move, make things happen, and win now.

ENGAGING THE HEART

When I speak, I aim for the heart—where real power is unleashed. People discover
a newfound belief in themselves and their purpose. They move faster—with less cha- os—to achieve success, no matter the ob- stacles. In our hearts, we all want to deliver our best for our customers, coworkers, and ourselves. Inspired performances are what truly motivate change in the world. Our best efforts emerge when our “heart is in it.”
