Conference Welcome and Opening Keynote: The Human Advantage
Curt helps high-performing teams do hard work without becoming hard to work with.
Curt has delivered 500+ presentations to organizations like Nike, Deloitte, JPMorgan Chase, Southwest Airlines, and the U.S. Naval Academy. His path to the stage ran through years of demographic research at the Center for Generational Kinetics and his own work on the attention economy - all building toward a thesis about what actually makes teams work. Then he tested it as Head of People at Venus Aerospace, building the team that achieved the first flight of a rotating detonation rocket engine - the technology that makes hypersonic travel possible. The physics of the March 9 flight were unforgiving. The human dynamics required to get there were even more complex.
