Safety | Heat Stress Prevention
Speaker: Greg Hale, Vice President & Chief Safety Officer, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts
Prevention of heat stress is critical. Workers need to understand what it is and how it affects their health and safety. Exposure to extreme heat can result in occupational illnesses such as heat-related stroke, exhaustion, cramps, rashes, etc. Heat can increase the risk of injuries and burns. Outdoor workers and those in hot environments, such as firefighters, bakery workers, farmers, construction workers, miners, boiler room workers, and factory workers, are all at risk. Extreme heat is particularly hazardous to workers 65 or older and those who are overweight, have heart disease or high blood pressure or take medications.
​
Health | Defining a Healthy Lifestyle Beyond Life Expectancy and Leisure Time Activities
Speaker: Dr. Elvis Alvarez Carnero, PhD. Associate Researcher, Advent Health Foundation Central Florida
While many strive for a long and healthy life to savour all life's experiences, it's crucial to recognize that human development and aging go beyond simply adding years. While life expectancy is a helpful indicator of a healthy society, true well-being is multifaceted. This discussion explores key aspects of a healthy lifestyle, focusing on challenging and exploring some common paradigms surrounding nutrition and physical activity. We'll review existing ideas and answer your questions, aiming to paint a more nuanced picture of what it means to live well.
​

​
Leadership | See the Future
Speakers: Jesse Parrish, Programming Manager, WinShape Teams and Joseph Cook, WinShape Teams
Great leaders are able to see and communicate a compelling vision for the future. One of the obstacles for leaders to see that compelling future, however, is getting overwhelmed and consumed with day-to-day tasks. Leaders must be willing to look up to ensure the current reality is propelling progress towards a preferred future. Participants will engage in a fun and interactive session walking away with three best practices to help make a preferred future their new reality.

8:30 a.m. - 9:30 a.m. | Morning Keynote : John O'Leary |
The Power of One. How One attitude, one action and one person can change the world
Expected to die, John O’Leary now teaches others how to truly live.
John was a curious nine-year-old boy. Playing with fire and gasoline, he created a massive explosion in his garage and was burned on 100% of his body. Given less than 1% chance of survival, John is proof of the power of the human spirit.
His unlikely recovery meant a journey of pain and loss that could have easily been insurmountable. However, far from being an example of someone who simply endured tragedy, John is a luminous example of thriving through adversity.
Surprisingly, this “survivor” story isn’t focused on John – rather, it is a celebration of heroes who intimately served him and his family. From a dedicated Hall of Fame sports announcer to a visionary burn nurse (and countless others), every individual involved in this 1987 fire teaches us this truth: one person can make a profound difference in the lives of others.
With emotional storytelling and unexpected humor, John reminds audiences of the significance of daily attitudes, the power of gratitude, and the impact of serving others with courage. He reawakens audiences to realize the gift of today and the possibility of tomorrow.
