Kearney, MO – The In-Plant Printing and Mailing Association (IPMA) is excited to announce Pete Smith, international speaker and best-selling author, will be a keynote at IPMA’s 2019 “Be a Front Runner” Conference in Louisville, KY, June 2-6, 2019 at the Galt House Hotel. His keynote flips conceptions of what drives individuals and organizations to maximize contributions, be inspired, and boost morale through a focus on significance and fulfillment as opposed to traditional ideas of success and happiness. It will take attendees on a journey through how to incorporate significance into their personal and professional lives, and, by doing so, become “unstuck”.
