Larry Winget 
New York Times Best-Selling Author, TV Personality, and “The Pitbull of Personal Development”Larry Winget, the “Pitbull of Personal Development,” is author of numerous New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-selling books, including Shut Up, Stop Whining & Get A Life: A Kick-Butt Approach to a Better Life, It’s Called Work for a Reason: Your Success Is Your Own Damn Fault, You’re Broke Because You Want to Be, People Are Idiots and I Can Prove It!, Your Kids Are Your Own Fault: A Guide for Raising Responsible, Productive Adults, and The 10 Ways You Are Sabotaging Yourself and How You Can Overcome Them.

His newest book, GROW A PAIR: How to Stop Being a Victim and Take Back Your Life, Your Business, and Your Sanity, takes on entitlement culture, the self-help movement, political correctness, and more. We’ve all heard the phrase “grow a pair,” but Larry’s advice isn’t about anatomy— it’s about attitude. To get the success we want, we need to reject victimhood in favor of being assertive and finally taking some responsibility.

A motivational speaker who is edgy, cantankerous, sarcastic, opinionated and hilarious, Winget is a one-of-a kind speaker who audiences demand time and time again. Without ever mincing words – much as in his writing – he delivers the cold, ugly truth in a way that is provocative, interesting, and funny.
Winget starred in Big Spender on A&E, and has appeared on CNBC’s The Millionaire Inside and The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch; NBC’s Today; Fox News and Fox Business Channel with Neil Cavuto; CBS’s The Early Show, and a multitude of newspapers, magazines and radio shows.

Winget started his professional life as an award-winning salesperson and then a top-ranked sales manager for AT&T. He later started three companies from scratch and built them into successful, thriving businesses. He has spoken to nearly 400 of the Fortune 500 companies throughout the world, and has been recognized for his exceptional contributions to the speaking profession by being inducted into the International Speakers Hall of Fame.

Lt. General Russel L. Honoré (Ret.)
Commander of Joint Task Force Katrina & Global Preparedness AuthorityLt. General Russel L. Honoré helps organizations develop a culture of preparedness and problem solving with strategies for transforming individuals into take-charge leaders.

As the commander of Joint Task Force Katrina, he became known as the “Category 5 General” for his striking leadership style in coordinating military relief efforts in post-hurricane New Orleans. A decorated 37-year army veteran and global authority on leadership, Gen. Honoré is the go-to expert on CNN on emergency and disaster preparedness and Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria crisis management.

Drawing on his in-the-trenches experience managing conflicts of both the natural and man-made variety, his disciplined leadership takeaways inspire audiences in a range of fields, including business, management, government, military and education. His third book, “Don’t Get Stuck on Stupid,” challenges society in the age of the new normal—a business environment where change and unpredictability are constants, and individual resilience is mandatory.

Authentic and uplifting, Gen. Honoré delivers a bracing dose of candor in his talks with real-world leadership lessons that equip audiences with a preparedness mindset. Gen. Honore shares his no-nonsense approach to getting the job done and instills confidence in tomorrow’s leaders.
