Description

"What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?" -Mark 8:36

A business is measured on how much money it creates and how much profit it generates, but what is the purpose of all that money?

This event is about businesses that exist for more than just making a profit. It's about making a difference.

This could mean that a business generates profits and uses them for a cause, or it could be a business that has a social dividend in their operations, such as sourcing materials for impact, hiring disadvantaged individuals, or any number of other ways.

We are looking for speakers who are doing well by doing good, making the world better by making their business bigger.

This event was commissioned by Damien Nkubana of Pearls RW Educational Developement Centre and Father Theoneste Munyankindi of United for Mercy, both in Rwanda, to support those organizations.

Speaker Expectations

Promote the event and generate a minimum of 10 opt-ins
Attend for at least 2 hours in addition to your speaking time

Please set aside the time to attend when you apply. Normally we send out approvals 1 month prior to the event, but if you would like an early review of your application, email michael@guywhoknowsaguy.com

Your Speaker Experience

This event is produced by Michael Whitehouse, and Michael creates events that are fun, engaging, exciting, and valuable to the audience and the speakers. This is not a “watch with your camera off while you do something else” event. This is not a “drop in, give your talk, and leave” event. This is an interactive event!

You will be speaking for 15 minutes.

But you will also have the opportunity to interact with other speakers and attendees throughout the event, so your talk is just the beginning.

We want to create an event that you will enjoy speaking at and get value from. More interaction is always better than less interaction. That keeps the energy up in the room, keeps the audience engaged, and makes it more fun for you.

You are welcome to offer your gift (the one you put in the application) during your talk as long as it is low key and not pitchy. Offering good. Infomercial bad.

15 minutes is not a lot of time to go deep, so you are welcome to invite the audience to a follow up event where you can do much more in depth on your topic. It is required that your talk during our event provide valuable, actionable information. It is recommended that your follow up event do the same as well, and not simply be a pitch to sell something without offering more value during that event.

Live and Pre-recorded Speakers

During the event, we will have 8-10 live speakers, each speaking 15 minutes each. We will also have as many as 5 pre-recorded speakers.

Pre-recorded speakers will provide us with a 10 minute video of their talk. This video will be sent out to everyone registered for the event in the run up to the event. You are then welcome and encouraged to attend the event live to interact with those who watched your talk in our breakouts, Q&A, hotseat and other engagement sessions.

If you would like to participate but are unable to attend live, you are welcome to apply and note on the application that you would like to be a pre-recorded speaker.

Important: pre-recorded talks are not sent out until and unless you have achieved the promotion requirement.

Pre-Event Speaker Meet-Up

In our experience, one of the greatest forms of value our speakers get is the connection with other speakers. They have found clients, vendors, mentors, partners, and friends among their fellow speakers.

To facilitate this, we will be hosting a 90 minute, pre-event speaker meetup on August 22nd at 4PM EST.

This is not required, but is highly recommended because of the value it will provide for you.

Event Style

The event will be a live, Zoom-based event running 11 AM to 5 PM Eastern Time.

We're aiming for engagement. We want an event where people feel they are part of something, not where they feel like they are watching a YouTube video.

This means that we'll have interactive activities. It means we encourage interactive presentations.

It also means that we encourage speakers to be there for as much of the event as possible because you'll be making some connections while you're there. (Live speakers are required to attend for at least 2 hours of the event)

Schedule Structure

Speaking slots will be 15 minutes, or, if your presentation is interactive we give you an extra 5 minutes for a total of 20.

The interactive block following your talk is run by the MC and host. While it may relate to your talk, it is separate)

Each hour will be formatted as follows:

0-15 Speaker

15-30 Interaction (run by MC and host)

30-45 Speaker

45-60 Interaction

Interaction may be speed networking, hot seat coaching, Q&As, or anything else.

Do not assume that the interaction block after your talk is for your Q&A, but if you do get a good flow going with the audience and they are highly engaged, I may choose to just let that keep going if the vibe is good.

Recordings

All presentations will be recorded.

Any speakers who achieve the minimum number of opt-ins (which should be all of you, right?) will have their presentation shared out to the entire list of registrants in the days after the event.

Additionally, some videos may be shared out to attendees or others on my list for various reasons including promoting that speaker's affiliate link or program.

By applying to this summit, you are granting ConCardia, LLC and Michael Whitehouse full and irrevocable rights to all recordings made during the event. Event partners may also share and use the recordings at the discretion of ConCardia, LLC. These recordings may be edited and deployed in any way that we choose for the benefit of our audiences.

Promotion

Speakers are expected to generate a minimum of 10 opt-ins. Swipe copy will be provided, or you can write your own copy. If you write really good copy, I'll share it with the other speakers and credit you.

In addition to traditional swipe copy, Guest Letters will be provided which you can share verbatim as a letter from the organizers to your audience.

With 10 opt-ins, you meet the requirement and are Awesome, at which point you'll get the recordings at no cost.

If you bring in at least 25 opt-ins, that is Epic Level. This means that you will automatically be accepted to the next summit you speak at with high preference for your choice of times.

And if you exceed 50, that is Legendary. Get me a message within 2 days of the summit saying or promoting anything you want (within reason) and I will send it out to all registrants!

Achieving Unity through the Power of Caring, Helping and Including Others

Mark Entrekin Chief Transformational Officer

I am Mark Entrekin and I help leaders in the “7 Quick Steps to Achieving Unity through the power of Caring, Helping and Including Others,” as we see this personally, professionally and in our associations, corporations, organizations, universities and presidential candidates!
Why are there so many divorces in our homes and families? Why the personal challenges and struggles in the workplace? Why the continual blaming and putting someone else down in political elections? Are we voting for the better of two diseases that we don’t want to catch?
It is better for us to hear what we, and others, can do than being required to listen to another’s opinion on an unclear mistake that someone else may have made!
I emphasize the immense value and Power of Caring, Helping and Including others and that Anger, Hate, and Prejudice have no value. Instead, we will recognize that putting someone down does not lift us. Mark shows how we will succeed by choosing compassion over negativity!
Three of the top things I can teach:
Building Stronger Teams, Workplaces and Communities
Leadership Excellence: Crafting and Executing Effective Plans
Cultivating a relationship, before and after divorce, with a Supportive Environment that includes Communication and Respect.

True Leadership: The Power of Impact Beyond the Spotlight

Zach Hoffman Award-winning Author & Coach

Introduction:
Good [morning/afternoon/evening] everyone. Today, I want to talk about a fundamental shift in how we view leadership and success in our social media-driven world. Our discussion will focus on a concept that’s increasingly relevant: the difference between seeking attention and making a meaningful impact.
1. The Quest for Recognition:
Let's start by acknowledging a basic human trait: the desire for recognition. From a young age, many of us are motivated by praise and admiration. Social media has amplified this desire, turning it into a public spectacle where our worth is often measured by likes, shares, and followers. It's an incredible era where our impact can be seen instantly, but this immediacy has blurred the lines between genuine impact and mere attention.
- Example: Think of social media influencers. They’ve mastered the art of getting noticed, but are their actions always making a substantial difference?

2. The Social Media Paradox:
Social media has created a paradox in leadership and influence. On one hand, it provides a platform for spreading ideas and fostering communities. On the other, it fosters an environment where visibility and engagement metrics can overshadow the quality and depth of content.
- Illustration: Consider the explosion of leadership content online. Much of it echoes previous ideas, rebranded to catch more eyes. The constant need to stand out often leads to sensationalism rather than substance.
- Key Point: We’ve become so focused on increasing our visibility that we sometimes forget the essence of true leadership.

3. The True Essence of Leadership:
True leadership is not about the applause or the number of likes. It’s about making a difference in people's lives, often without the need for recognition. John C. Maxwell, a renowned leadership expert, captured this beautifully. He realized that leadership should be about impacting others rather than self-aggrandizement.
- Quote: “In the beginning, it was all about me, my goals, and my success. Slowly I realized that I was not on earth to see how important I could become but to see how much of a difference I could make in the lives of others.”
- Analysis: Maxwell’s journey reflects a crucial lesson—when we shift our focus from seeking attention to making a genuine impact, recognition often follows naturally.

4. The Impact-First Approach:
Embracing an impact-first mindset means prioritizing the well-being and growth of others over personal accolades. It’s about doing good work because it matters, not because it will earn us praise.
- Challenge: I challenge each of you to think about your motivations. Are you driven by the desire for recognition, or by a genuine desire to make a difference?
- Practical Advice: Reflect on your actions and their outcomes. Ask yourself: Are you okay with the possibility of not receiving immediate acknowledgment for your efforts?

5. Navigating the Modern Landscape:
In today’s world, where everyone is vying for attention, it can be easy to feel overshadowed. But true leadership requires resilience and commitment to your mission, regardless of the external validation.
- Strategy: Focus on consistent, meaningful actions. Build a legacy through the positive changes you create rather than the applause you receive.
- Example: Consider leaders like Malala Yousafzai, who focus on their cause despite not always being in the spotlight. Their impact speaks volumes beyond social media metrics.

Conclusion:
In summary, while social media and modern platforms provide unprecedented opportunities for visibility, they also pose a challenge: distinguishing between seeking attention and making a true impact. Let’s strive to be leaders who prioritize the latter. By focusing on making a meaningful difference, we not only contribute positively to the world but also let recognition come as a natural byproduct of our efforts.
Thank you for your time, and I encourage you to reflect on your own leadership journey. Are you ready to impact without seeking attention?
