What can you do to get your customers to happily pay 25% more for your product or service? How can you make your employees six times more loyal to your company and how would it affect your bottom line? What steps can you take to increase the market value of your company by 200 – 300%? According to business guru Warren Buffett, what is the one thing that you absolutely must have in new hires?

Come hear Dana Telford answer these questions and more in an entertaining, thought-provoking presentation based on his new book Integrity Works. Learn how to create a unique and compelling advantage by forging a culture of trust and integrity in your organization. Dana’s presentation has been called “one of the best presentations we’ve ever had” by Ed Nusbaum, CEO of Grant Thornton, “Perfect” by Ron Havner, CEO of Public Storage (NYSE) and Chris Begley, CEO of Hospira (NYSE) said “Your presentation exceeded my wildest expectations!”

Hear him relate details of time spent discussing and identifying the true markers of integrity with Don Graham, Chairman and CEO of the Washington Post, Jim Burke, former CEO of Johnson & Johnson, Shelley Lazarus, Chairman and CEO of Ogilvy & Mather and others. Hear the time-tested Ten Principles of Integrity used by influential men and women throughout history to help them make gut-wrenching decisions, including Abraham Lincoln, Mother Teresa, Mohandas Gandhi, Warren Buffett, Mary Kay Ash, John Wooden and others.

“Trust? Integrity?” you might be wondering, “why should I care about that? It’s all fuzzy and warm and soft and doesn’t affect my bank account.” If that’s your reaction, come let Dana show you why your competitors might be eating your lunch in the marketplace and what you can do about it.

By the end of this forum you’ll understand and be able to implement:
  • the steps integrity-based companies take to outperform their competitors,
  • how leaders with integrity build credibility and trust and how that flows to their bottom line and
  • the hiring process great leaders use to identify character in their potential hires.
