A hallmark of 21CBEC, high-caliber speakers and industry leaders share their actionable insights as well as inspiring and empowering lessons. In recent years, we’ve welcomed NFL legend and former Washington Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann, NAHB Chief Economist Rob Dietz and former Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith.
Why do some organizations dominate and some lose? What are the ingredients of “real” success? In this luncheon presentation, legendary Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rocky Bleier will focus on winning through perseverance, hope, commitment and trust. Framed through parallels to football and Bleier’s personal journey as both a war veteran and four-time Super bowl champion with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Bleier will explore both structural and emotional aspects for individuals and organizations to reach their greatest potential.
