Opening General Session

Few things, if any, are more important than forming meaningful connections with others. A passion and talent for connecting with other people serves as the most stable foundation for everything else.  
 
This is especially important in an industry that relies on service and care as the core of what we do, and this mentality extends not only to our interactions with patients, but interactions with our teams, our collaborators, our vendors and others in the industry as well. 
 
At this year’s Opening Session, join Emmy award-winning speaker, Mark Scharenbroich, as he takes you for a fun ride on how to be effective at making meaningful connections in both your professional and personal life.  
 
Mix thousands and thousands of black leather, bandana wearing, tattoo bearing Harley-Davidson riders with a 100th Anniversary and one beige rental car and the end result will be the perfect metaphor for connecting with others: “Nice Bike.” 

Nice Bike acts as a powerful catalyst to help build stronger, more unified teams. The message inspires audience members to be more engaged and passionate about connecting with others. 

Mark has spent his career working in both industry and education discovering how some of the best organizations and team leaders build a culture that encourages people to perform at a higher level through greater engagement. His Nice Bike principle is supported by three strong actions: Acknowledge, honor and connect.
