 In track and field, success in a relay isn’t about individual speed—it’s about 
teamwork, trust, and the flawless handoff of the baton. The same principle 
applies to business and life. Today’s fast-paced work environment often 
pushes us to go it alone, but real impact comes from collaboration.
 In this interactive session, participants will experience firsthand the 
strategies and coordination required to “pass the baton” effectively. Drawing 
on lessons from athletics, real-world examples, and organizational insights, 
we will explore how leveraging your team leads to faster results, stronger 
outcomes, and sustainable success. Attendees will leave with practical tactics 
to build trust, enhance collaboration, and harness the power of working 
together—because as the African proverb reminds us: “If you want to go 
fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.”

Every one of us has a list of tasks that never quite gets done. The follow-ups, 
the proposals, the reports, the marketing that keeps sliding to next week. On 
Friday morning, Chris Sund is going to show you how to hand a lot of that 
work off to AI tools that most companies can afford without a second thought.
This will not be a lecture about where technology is headed. It is a live, 
hands-on session built around what the room wants to see. Chris will take 
real scenarios from members and work through them right in front of you, 
covering sales, marketing, operations, and the everyday busy work that fills up 
a calendar. You will leave with tools you can put to use Monday morning.
Chris is President and COO of Uniti Med, GQR Healthcare, and Nebula, an 
AI-powered talent sourcing platform, and the author of You Are Capable of 
More: A No-Excuses Guide to Becoming Your Best Self. Every attendee will 
receive a copy of the book.
Bring your questions, and bring the tasks you would rather not be doing yourself.
CHRIS SUND  Author of “You Are Capable of More”
