​The Champion’s Code: Building Relationships Through Life Lessons of Integrity and Accountability from the Sports World to the Business World”

The best-selling author of nearly 50 sports books, Ross Bernstein is an award-winning peak performance hall of fame business speaker who's keynoted conferences for Fortune 500 companies on all seven continents and has been featured on CNN, ESPN, Fox News, and “CBS This Morning,” as well as in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times and USA Today.  Ross' program is all about the DNA of what makes champions in sports so unique and how that relates to business. It’s based on a series of books he wrote in which he was able to interview more than 1,000 professional athletes and coaches that all had one thing in common — they were all members of championship teams. In his research he concluded that the same metrics and characteristics that were common among champions in​sports, were also common among peak performers in business.  ​There are reasons certain teams win consistently, whereas others don't... and Ross explains why. It's based largely on the "Good to Great" concept of how the best companies are able to separate themselves from the rest of the pack through servant leadership, by creating a culture of excellence, by developing deeper relationships, and by giving extraordinary customer service. Ross weaves sports stories, about the DNA of champions, along with stories of companies who he has worked with around the world — and shares best practice ideas on ways to overcome disruption, while ultimately building stronger relationships. At the core of his message is the simple fact that we like to do business with people who we trust, who we like, and who just “get it”— CHAMPIONS.

The Authority on Leadership Training, Talent Retention, and Workplace Culture

DNA of High-Impact Leaders
How Visionary Leaders Build Trust, Shape Culture, and Ignite Excellence

Paycheck leaders will only ever produce paycheck employees.
The type of leader you are determines whether you will inspire ownership… or apathy. Whether you’re an emerging leader, leading a team of 2, or a CEO with 2000 employees, one truth remains: the culture around you starts with the excellence within you. This inspiring and interactive keynote defines the character that people follow, the type of culture that inspires excellence and loyalty, and the legacy that helps you close the gap between where you currently are and who you're called to be as a leader. This program isn’t just about motivation—it’s about activation. Read more about Betsy and this session here.

SPEAKER - CONSULTANT - AUTHOR

​​Quit Hitting Snooze™ on Tough Conversations: How to Talk About the Hard Stuff
Most leaders don’t avoid tough conversations because they don’t care. They avoid them because they don’t want to damage trust, trigger defensiveness, or create conflict that spirals. This applies to classic accountability conversations and to high-change moments, including AI adoption and shifting roles. To read more about Courtney Ramsey and this session, please click here.
