Chief Evangelist at Canva, Former Brand Ambassador for Mercedes-Benz, Former Chief Evangelist at Apple Guy Kawasaki Chief Evangelist at Canva, Former Brand Ambassador for Mercedes-Benz, Former Chief Evangelist at Apple Guy Kawasaki is an innovation keynote speaker, social media expert, chief evangelist of Canva, and the bestselling author of The Art of the Start . His engaging talks are packed with insights drawn from his experience in the tech industry, showing audiences how to create innovative products and services using practical techniques. Some of Guy’s clients include Fortune 1000 companies and strategic clients like S&P Global. Born in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1954, Guy grew up in the tough Kalihi Valley neighborhood. His parents, although not wealthy, made numerous sacrifices to provide for their family. His mother was a housewife, and his father worked as a fireman, real estate broker, state senator, and government official, having a long and distinguished career. Guy attended Iolani School, where he received a formative education and credits Harold Keables, his AP English teacher, for sparking his passion for writing. Guy’s career as an author, with thirteen books to his name, would have delighted his teacher, who emphasized the importance of editing. After graduating from Iolani in 1972, Guy went on to Stanford, where he graduated in 1976 with a major in psychology. He initially pursued law at U.C. Davis at his parents’ insistence but left after just a week. The following year, he enrolled in the MBA program at UCLA, which he found more aligned with his interests. His first real job was with Nova Stylings, a fine-jewelry manufacturer, where he learned the vital skill of sales. Guy’s big break came when he joined Apple, thanks to his Stanford roommate Mike Boich. At Apple, he evangelized the Macintosh and played a key role in its success. During this time, Guy met his wife, and he credits Apple as a pivotal point in his life. After leaving Apple in 1987, Guy started a Macintosh database company called ACIUS, which produced the product 4th Dimension . He later transitioned to writing, speaking, and consulting, contributing to MacUser, Macworld, and Forbes. In 1989, Guy co-founded Fog City Software, which created an email product called Emailer and a list server product called LetterRip . By 1995, Guy returned to Apple as an Apple Fellow, during a time when many pundits believed the company was on the brink of collapse. His mission was to maintain and rejuvenate the Macintosh cult. In 1997, he left Apple to start Garage.com , a service connecting angel investors with entrepreneurs. Today, Garage Technology Ventures is a venture capital firm that invests in early-stage tech companies. Guy continued his entrepreneurial ventures, co-founding Alltop, a website that aggregates RSS feeds and organizes them by topic. He also served as a special advisor to the CEO of Google’s Motorola division in 2013. In 2014, he resurrected the role of "chief evangelist" and joined Canva, an online graphic-design service. At Canva, Guy’s goal is to democratize design, making it accessible for everyone to create graphics for social media, posters, business cards, and more. In 2015, Guy was appointed to the board of trustees for the Wikimedia Foundation to help democratize knowledge. That same year, he was named a brand ambassador for Mercedes-Benz USA. He has also been recognized for his contributions to technology and innovation, including his role in helping to democratize computers, design, and knowledge.

Former Commander, USS Benfold and Author, It's Your Ship Mike Abrashoff Former Commander, USS Benfold and Author, It's Your Ship At the age of 36, the Navy selected Abrashoff to become Commander of USS Benfold – at the time, the most junior commanding officer in the Pacific Fleet. The immediate challenges that faced him on this underperforming naval warship were staggering: exceptionally low morale, high turnover and unacceptably low performance evaluations. Few thought that this ship could improve. In many ways, the USS Benfold was actually an extreme example of the same problems facing many organizations today. The solution was to establish a system of management techniques that Abrashoff calls The Leadership Roadmap. At the core of his leadership approach on Benfold was a process of replacing command and control with commitment and cohesion, and by engaging the hearts, minds, and loyalties of workers – with conviction and humility. “The most important thing that a captain can do is to see the ship through the eyes of the crew.” According to Abrashoff, The Leadership Roadmap is a practice that empowers every individual to share the responsibility of achieving excellence. “It’s your ship,” he was known to say. His former sailors to this day still remind him of it. By every measure, these principles were able to achieve breakthrough results. Personnel turnover decreased to an unprecedented 1 percent. The rate of military promotions tripled, and the crew slashed operating expenses by 25 percent. Regarded as the finest ship in the Pacific Fleet, Benfold won the prestigious Spokane Trophy for having the highest degree of combat readiness. Most important – this transformation took place with the same crew. What had changed was the ship’s culture and Abrashoff’s leadership style. Abrashoff recounted the leadership lessons from the turnaround of USS Benfold in It’s Your Ship, a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller, with over 800,000 copies sold to date. This extraordinary interest in Abrashoff’s leadership journey and Benfold’s organizational lessons led to two follow-up books – Get Your Ship Together and It’s Our Ship. Those books took readers deeper into ways these principles have been put into action by business leaders in their own organizations. Prior to commanding USS Benfold, Abrashoff served as the Military Assistant to Secretary of Defense William J. Perry. He also helped draft the air defense plan for naval forces in the Persian Gulf in 1990, coinciding with Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait; and served as the Executive Officer of the Cruiser Shiloh, where he deployed to the Persian Gulf in support of United Nations sanctions against Iraq. Mike Abrashoff is the founder of GLS Worldwide, a consulting firm which works with and supports leaders as they address leadership, talent and business challenges within their organization. The firm challenges leaders at all levels to re-imagine their leadership thinking and create new ways to elevate individual, team and organizational performance.

Sara began her journey working full-time while earning an MBA. As she climbed the ladder of corporate America, she repeatedly observed a surprising phenomenon: the most successful people weren’t necessarily the ones with the highest IQ or best job skills. She recognized, instead, that career advancement was much more closely linked to how people applied their knowledge and talents — their capacity to collaborate, communicate, and influence others. Because of this revelation early on, Sara developed an uncanny ability to pinpoint the pivotal attributes that could make or break a career, and she was able to convey that information in a compassionately candid way. Colleagues, subordinates, and superiors alike frequently approached Sara for her advice on overcoming career hurdles and developing strategies to increase their personal market value. Despite reaching an executive position in operations with a major company, Sara realized that helping others maximize their career potential was truly her life’s work. Today, Sara is happily fulfilling that commitment as a speaker , consultant, coach , author, and owner of her rapidly growing firm, Sara Canaday & Associates. Her firm has given her the opportunity to mentor and support thousands of people in diverse situations, inspiring many of them to move from insight to action with dramatic career results. Sara lives in Austin, Texas, with her husband, Brandon; her daughter, Taylor; and her son, Cole. She proudly follows the same advice she shares with her clients: be honest with yourself, never stop finding ways to improve, and — if all else fails — head to Starbucks for a Double Mocha Latte with extra whipped cream.

Former Professional Football Player Ed "Too Tall" Jones Former Professional Football Player It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out how Ed “Too Tall” Jones got his nickname. Standing at a towering 6 feet 8 inches, the Jackson, Tennessee native was simply too tall for opposing linemen and quarterbacks to handle. Jones was a standout high school basketball player and was recruited to Tennessee State University, where he initially played basketball for two years. Fortunately for TSU—and eventually, the NFL—he made a life-changing decision to switch to football. His choice paid off, earning him All-American honors in both his junior and senior years. Jones gained national recognition in 1974 when the Dallas Cowboys selected him as the first overall pick in the NFL Draft. As a dominant defensive end, he spent 15 seasons with Dallas, setting a franchise record with 194 career starts before retiring at the end of the 1989 season. A key force in the Cowboys’ legendary “Doomsday Defense” of the 1970s, Jones consistently earned Defensive Player of the Week honors. He played in 20 playoff games and was selected for three consecutive Pro Bowls from 1981 to 1983, earning All-Pro honors in 1981 and 1982. His contributions helped propel the Cowboys to three Super Bowl appearances, winning Super Bowl XII in 1978 and solidifying their reputation as “America’s Team.” In 1979, Jones took a brief hiatus from football to pursue professional boxing, compiling a perfect 6-0 record before returning to the Cowboys just a year later. Beyond football, Jones has showcased his versatility in entertainment, appearing in films like Necessary Roughness and Squeeze Play, as well as guest-starring in popular TV shows such as Diff’rent Strokes and Married… with Children. He also has a passion for rhythm and blues music and enjoys hot yoga. Now retired, Jones continues to reside in Dallas, where his legacy as one of the greatest defensive players in Cowboys history remains firmly intact. PAST CLIENTS Panini Topps IMG
