Robert Pizzini

The military is well-known for developing and creating leaders. Every member depends on one another to accomplish a mission and sometimes even for survival. Retired Navy Special Operations Bronze Star recipient Bob Pizzini shares how to apply military precision to every aspect of leadership and life in an interactive, feedback-driven presentation on how health and wellness impact everyone’s ability to lead and succeed in business and life. Bob is a self-proclaimed 'Unconventional' Leadership Coach, Trainer, Public Speaker, and Lifelong Learner. He retired from the U.S. Navy in 2010 after 26 years of service in Navy Special Operations. Bob shares how he translated his skills from the military to the private sector, the role health and wellness plays in companies and leadership, the importance of confidence and trust in leaders and teams, and why you should hire slow and fire fast.

Participants are encouraged to check their ego at the door and dive into an awakening of situational awareness, conscious execution, and habits to adopt that deepen their reserves to handle whatever challenges they face. The discussion includes six critical traits of a leader: rest, hydration, nutrition, exercise, brain and heart health, and lifelong learning. Each attribute has tangible takeaways and calls to action that directly relate to one’s ability to lead with physical energy and mental clarity throughout a career and beyond.
