World-Class KeynotesOpening Keynote: Talent, Culture and the New World of Work: How to Unleash and Sustain Fierce Execution and Nonstop InnovationThursday, September 19 • 8:30–9:30 am

Bill Taylor, Founding Editor, Fast Company and Best-selling Author

The first question great organizations can answer is: What separates us from our rivals in the marketplace? But the next question is: What holds us together as colleagues in the workplace? In an era of

brash ideas and disruptive business models, organizations that create the most extraordinary value are the ones that generate the most widely shared sense of commitment, connection, and compassion among colleagues. Regardless of your industry, your organization can’t be exceptional in the marketplace unless it creates something exceptional in the workplace.

• Explore how organizations can unleash and sustain a culture of fierce execution and nonstop innovation

• Hear ideas, lessons, diagnostics, and case studies that are a pragmatic guide to the new world of work and a cutting-edge agenda for recruiting, evaluating, organizing, and retaining talent

• Learn how to find these answers and more: Why should great people join your organization? Do you know a great person when you see one? Are you great at teaching great people how your organization works and wins? Does your organization work as distinctively as it competes?

Bill will be signing copies of his latest book, Simply Brilliant: How Great Organizations Do Ordinary Things in Extraordinary Ways, following his keynote presentation.

Closing Keynote: Leadership in Turbulent TimesFriday, September 20 • 10:30-11:45 am

Doris Kearns Goodwin, Presidential Historian and Pulitzer Prize-winning Author (1995 Pulitzer in History for No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Homefront in WWII)

World-renowned presidential historian (works include biographies on Presidents

Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Lyndon B. Johnson) Doris Kearns Goodwin reflects on more than 150 years of U.S. history to put into context our most recent unprecedented presidency—a fast-paced, unpredictable and at times, impulsive Administration. By sharing her deep understanding of the ambition, resolution and resilience of some of our nation’s most revered presidents, Goodwin explains how past setbacks and triumphs shed light on the cultural, economic and political transformations that define today’s turbulent times.

In this educational and entertaining presentation, Goodwin brings to life some of our most successful presidents to provide insight for today’s leaders, and to demonstrate that however fractured our modern political culture has become, our democracy is also resilient and has survived—even thrived—through more troubling times in the past.  

This engaging author will host a book-signing following the closing keynote presentation; attendees will receive copies of her latest work, Leadership in Turbulent Times, a current NY Times bestseller.

TRSA 106th Annual Conference

Annual Conference attendees will receive complimentary copies of the keynotes’ books. Get your copy signed at the Meet and Greet following each presentation.
