Later that day, Don Harkey, co-founder of People Centric Consulting Group, will provide a keynote on topics such as building a healthy workplace culture, developing better managers and leaders, and managing toxic employees.
On Monday, July 10, Jesus Villahermosa, Jr., the founder of Crisis Reality Training, a safety and security consulting firm, will discuss related topics. Villahermosa is a former deputy for the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department in Tacoma, Washington, as well as a former member of that department’s S.W.A.T team.
Howard Putnam, former CEO of Southwest Airlines will wrap up the keynote schedule on Tuesday night. His address will explore concepts of leadership, customer service,and the importance of people and culture in creating and sustaining a profitable entity for the long-term.
“I look forward to joining your group on July 11 in Reno,” he told STN. “We always said at Southwest that we were not an airline. We were in mass transportation and safety. It was our people and culture that made us successful. Seems to me you have the same challenges.”
