save lives and reduce injuries on Michigan’s roadways. Whatever traffic

safety discipline you are involved in, there is something to be learned

The success of this conference relies largely on your active partic-

ipation, so please be ready to ask questions, offer ideas, discuss best

practices, and establish collaborations. Share your thoughts and expe-

riences on social media using the hashtag #MISummit2017.

HoW To bUIlD TRUST AND INSPIRE PERFoRMANCE

Rich Diviney, Director of Outreach, Barry-Wehmiller Institute

Rich Diviney wakes up every day to dis-cover, inspire, and accelerate the poten-tial of human beings. His deeply held belief

is that each individual has unlimited potential that, once unlocked, can lead to not only living the life of one’s purpose and dreams, but also allow for inspirational contribution to oth-ers. This potential often goes untapped due to a lack of understanding and resources from which to draw upon.

These beliefs lead Diviney to read Simon Sinek’s “Start With Why” and subsequently develop a friendship with him. Through that friendship he was introduced to Bob Chapman and Barry-Wehmiller’s philosophy on human-centered leadership. As a director of outreach for the Barry-Wehmiller Leadership Institute. Diviney draws upon more than 20 years of experience as a Navy SEAL officer where he completed more than 13 overseas deployment—11 of which were to Iraq and Afghanistan. Throughout his career Diviney has achieved multiple leadership posi-tions, including commanding officer of a Navy SEAL Command. It has been this experience that has forged his belief system that every human being has a purpose–and why Bob Chapman’s “Everybody Matters” phi-losophy resonates so deeply.

David Greenfield, Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, University of Connecticut School of Medicine, and Center for Internet and Technology Addiction

David Greenfield is the founder of the Center for Internet and Technology Addiction and an assistant clinical

professor of psychia-try at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine. He is a leading authority on Internet and com-

puter behavior and digital media technology. His recent work focuses on why digital technologies are so overused, and in some cases poten-tially addictive, and how society can use technology in a more balanced and healthy manner.

Greenfield is a fellow and past-president of the Connec ticut Psychological Association. He has appeared on CNN, Good Morning America, the Today Show, and other network programs. Greenfield’s work has been featured in Newsweek, People, Time, the Wall Street Journal, and other publications. He conducts research, training, consultation, and lectures throughout the world on the impact of Internet, smartphone, and digital media technology use and compulsion.
