Everyone has a Dash. You can’t hide it, throw it away, or lose it. You have it from beginning to the end of life. Your Dash represents everything in your life, both personally and professionally…all the joy, hurt, pain, success, and failures are in your Dash. For associations, if your members are not personally fulfilled, they will never be professionally fulfilled. If they are not professionally fulfilled, they will never be passionate about your association. With studies showing most people in debt, not taking care of their health regularly, and unhappy in their jobs or relationships, this session will inspire them to make change, chase their dreams, and live in the moment to enjoy life today. During this presentation, Tom unpacks the 3 components that makes up everyone’s “Personal GDP.” Your Personal GDP is the driving force to your success. This keynote is based upon my new personal development book that will be launched in August of 2018.
Associations and members are seeing market disruption all around them. Trends, technology and habits are having a bigger impact than ever on membership and bottom lines. The question is, “Are you embracing it, or ignoring it?” In this energetic session Tom Morrison will unpack the chaotic trends coming at associations and the 10-keys to maximizing member value, member engagement and building revenues in the midst of disruption. This session is highly informative and motivating on making change that will push your association into the future. In this session, your attendess will learn:
- The keys to recruiting members

With disruption driving change at light speed, two things are certain with “change”: you no longer have the luxury of time and it is unforgiving. In a study by IBM, over 5,000 C-Suite executives stated that their #1 fear for the future was the “DISRUPTION” of their industry or business model. Forbes reports that market disruption will drive 40% of Fortune 500 companies into bankruptcy in the next 10 years. Any industry ignoring the wave of change headed our way will risk becoming irrelevant and eliminated. In this very insightful and energetic session, Tom will unpack the 3 forces causing disruption, 2020’s economic boom, labor shortage, technologies that will change everything and outline the key elements every company must have to drive innovation, value and culture to win the future. This is a must see keynote.
