Number one bestselling author. One of the most practical voices in high performance anywhere in the world.
James Laughlin has worked at the highest levels of elite sport and corporate leadership. His frameworks don't sit in the boardroom. They translate. Whether you're a principal building a team culture, a salesperson pushing through a plateau, or a property manager navigating constant pressure, his session is built for you.
His keynote at this year's conference draws on the habits that separate high performers from everyone else. Practical tools you can use the week you get back.
Expect to leave with a clearer sense of what you're capable of and exactly how to get there.
One of the most extraordinary life stories you will ever hear. And he's telling it at our conference.
Li Cunxin was born into bitter poverty in rural China. Selected at eleven for Madame Mao's Beijing Dance Academy. He defected to the United States, triggering a diplomatic standoff between two governments. He went on to become one of the greatest ballet dancers the world has ever seen. His autobiography, Mao's Last Dancer, became a runaway bestseller and a major film.
His keynote is a story of resilience, persistence, and the refusal to accept the circumstances you were handed. The kind of story that changes how you think about what's possible.
He takes the stage at our conference on the day his new book publishes. There is no better place to be.
Queensland's number one agent. Four years running. It almost never happened.
In 2011, Alex Jordan was broke. The Brisbane floods had crippled his business and he had a job offer lined up as a pharmaceutical rep. He came this close to taking it.
He didn't. What followed was one of the great comeback stories in Australian real estate. Built on persistence, consistency, and a refusal to measure success one listing at a time.
Alex featured at AREC this year. But this is different. At the Professionals International Conference he takes the full keynote stage to share the story behind the numbers. What it actually takes to build a career worth having in this industry. No shortcuts. No overnight success.
Just the honest account of someone who stayed when it would have been easier to go.
More speakers will be announced soon.
