SSCL 2008 FEATURED SPEAKERS

Keynote Speaker - Lt. General Russel Honoré, (Ret.) Commander of Joint Task Force Katrina

When Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans in 2005, the devastation was more than anyone could have imagined. Images of the city drowning in the waters of the Mississippi and Lake Pontchartrain and of the dire conditions at the Louisiana Superdome and Convention Center showed the world that the United States was ill equipped and unprepared to deal with a natural disaster of such epic proportions. In spite of questionable leadership on many levels, one leader undeniably changed the course of the disaster: Lieutenant General Russel L. Honoré, the commanding general of Joint Task Force Katrina.

A native of Lakeland, Louisiana, Honoré, the “Category 5 General,” swept into New Orleans, surveyed the destruction and took charge, bringing the city back under control and starting the long process of putting it back together.

Since his command of Joint Task Force Katrina, Honoré has brought the lessons of Katrina to organizations around the country. An expert on preparedness and responding to catastrophe, he offers insights into protecting people and organizations, outlining the principles necessary to lead through unexpected and uncontrollable crises.

The man that New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin called a “John Wayne dude,” Honoré has proven that by taking charge and creating a culture of preparedness, whether as an individual, a group, a city, or an entire country, unexpected crises can be managed and their impacts can be minimized.

Special Guest Speaker - Marty Clarke
Leadership Coach and Author

Wickedly funny, and painfully honest, Marty Clarke’s compelling keynote speeches, workshops and seminars continue to draw large and enthusiastic audiences worldwide.

His first book, Communication Land Mines, 18 Communication Catastrophes and How to Avoid Them was written directly as a result of all of his years of sales experience on both sides of the decision maker's desk.  The book sold out its first printing and has been recently translated into Mandarin.

Marty’s second book, Leadership Land Mines, 8 Management Catastrophes and How to Avoid Them focuses on the eight specific behaviors that cripple any manager’s ability to emerge as a true leader.

Marty spends his time working closely with the leadership teams and sales teams who have the vision and backbone to make the changes that yield material improvements in real time.

From 1998 to 2002 Marty served as Vice President of Marketing of BTI Communications where he successfully led the teams providing the marketing, public relations, training, and post-sale quality assurance for a 25 location, 250+ person sales team delivering complex voice, data, and internet commercial solutions.
