August 01, 2023 Finding Your Purpose with Jade Simmons
Jade spent the first few years of her career performing as a classical concert pianist. Following an artistic epiphany, she pivoted from playing the piano to impress audiences, to using the piano as the vehicle by which to provide the inspiration, information and entertainment that profoundly moves them instead. The results have been, well darn impressive. No stranger to pushing boundaries to see bold results, this concert pianist turned world changer is brought in by the likes of corporations like Mass Mutual, Royal Bank of Canada, DOW, Raytheon, the Hershey Company, Genentech, Valic, Pfizer and Nationwide to redefine purpose, inspire seismic shifts in mindset and activate audiences to go out and instantly start living more consequential lives of impact. The one-of-a-kind artist has built a one-of-a-kind career garnering diverse recognition from unlikely places. She's played renowned halls, including the hallowed ones of the White House and the US Supreme Court and her genre-bending concert adventures that span Rachmaninoff to Rap attract diverse audiences of all ages and backgrounds. For her work on and away from the stage, Essence magazine featured Jade alongside former First Lady Michelle Obama as a part of their "Style & Substance List". As one of the rare classical artists invited to perform at the taste-making South by Southwest Festival, her show was ultimately branded one of the "Best of SXSW 2014". She's starred in a Broadway-style musical called Lillette's Rhythm Club and she can be heard portraying Nina Simone's classical years in the Oscar-nominated documentary What Happened Miss Simone? In her inimitable career as a concert pianist and as a media host, Jade has remained committed to expanding the boundaries of Classical music and its presentation.

June 20, 2023 Creating a New Culture at Harley Davidson with Ken Schmidt
Learn more about Ken Schmidt and his keynotes: https://premierespeakers.com/ken_schmidt
It’s an impersonal world, where so many products and services are seen as easily-replaced, indistinct commodities. Whether you stand out or get lost in the crowd is a choice. A mindset. Ken Schmidt faced those same challenges himself and gained acclaim for his role in the extraordinary turnaround of the legendary Harley-Davidson Motor Company. That transformation was based on a change in mindset and a focus on answering three key strategic questions. While times have changed, what humans want and need from the businesses they buy from and work for hasn’t. In his high-energy speeches, Ken inspires companies and individuals to shift their thinking and ride a path to success by becoming memorable – not for what they do or what they make, but for how they connect with people. Ken is author of Make Some Noise: The Unconventional Road to Dominance. He’s also host of the Tailgating with Geniuses podcast and co-founder of Torque Sessions Leadership Training. In all of his endeavors, Ken brings an unconventional perspective that helps organizations and individuals reframe how they engage with their marketplace.

From Victory Circle to the Announcer's Desk, Hall of Fame Race Car Driver and Network Television Color Analyst Derek Daly has spent nearly three decades as the face of the motorsport world. He counts Sylvester Stallone, David Letterman and Jay Leno amongst his friends. Born and raised in Dublin, Ireland to a middle class working family. On the way to his dream, he worked as a laborer in the iron ore mines of Australia and, while traveling the race tracks of England, even took up residence in a school bus. He competed in the Formula One World Championship, being ranked 10th in the world. He made six starts in the Indianapolis 500 before winning the 12 Hours of Sebring endurance race, two years in a row. In 1984, Derek suffered one of the hardest crash impacts that a driver had ever survived when he hit the wall at Michigan International Speedway at 212 MPH. After fourteen surgeries and three years in therapy, he returned to full-time racing. When he retired from racing, Derek started a 24-year association with ESPN, NBC, CBS, and Fox Sports. USA Today called him as "the best new face on sports television" and IndyCar Racing magazine voted him "the most popular motorsports television announcer." Moet & Chandon awarded Derek the Joules Goux Award for his outstanding contributions to motorsports television. He was nominated by ESPN for an Ace Award and was inducted into the 2000 Motorsports Ireland Hall of Fame. In 2010, he was inducted into the Sebring Hall of Fame.

His second book, A Champions Path: Be Extraordinary was published in 2017.
