presented by
Jon Gordon – Best-Selling Author and Keynote Speaker
Teams rise and fall on culture, leadership, relationships, attitude, and effort. Three things you control daily are your attitude, effort, and actions to be a great teammate. It doesn’t matter what is happening around you and who you think is being unfair. Every day you can focus on being positive, working hard, and making others around you better.

Chief Richard Robertson – Aurora, Illinois Police Department
On 15FEB19 at approximately 1330hrs, an employee brought a handgun to his termination meeting. After fatally shooting five co-workers and critically wounding another, he set up ambush points and waited for responding officers. The initial responding officers were fired upon by the offender, five of which were struck by gunfire. Additional responding officers made entry into the building, extracted an officer that was shot inside the building, and began to clear the 290,000-square-foot structure. Approximately 90 minutes after the beginning of the incident, the offender was located in his final ambush position, and the threat was terminated during a gunfight with officers.
