Hungry = Am I achieving goal achievements with the team in mind?
Humble = Do I care about others or achieving my ends?

These are just a few of the questions you’ll learn to ask yourself at the August Unstoppable! The payoff? Get the glamour projects. Reduce stress when working with others. Create positive energy in your work. Elevate your team with greater collaboration (especially highly motivated project teams!) when you attend this unbelievable Unstoppable featuring Jamie Nelson, Senior Manager of People Programs for EPAM Systems.
When bestselling author Patrick Lencioni came out with The Ideal Team Player, he got people thinking. Why? Because he showed how being hungry, humble and smart has a profound impact on achieving and innovating with others. Jamie shares a proven way to recognize and build on these three virtues so you advance in your career and raise your visibility.
Your success often hinges on the team. Why not gain career traction by building engagement, positive energy and better team dynamics? Learn how at the August Unstoppable.
You’ll learn how to:
- Defining the 3 Qualities of an Ideal Team Player
- Move from transactional to relational as a team player

Her role as the founder of Innovation Women, a new model online speaker bureau, gives her unique insight into event managers’ thoughts and processes. An accomplished (and lively) speaker herself, she gives even the shyest behind-the-scenes person the tools they need to get ahead on the job through public speaking.

Carlton is an entertaining, tell-it-like-it-is speaker who speaks extensively (and passionately) about public speaking and how it can be the driving force behind career growth and business success. She’s a TEDx speaker; an entertaining startup event host; she’s spoken at the United Nations; and she’s been on the main stage for some of the world’s best-known conferences for technical and professional women.
