The goal of the Virtual Benchmarking and Best Practices Conference is to help plastics companies improve their operations and tactics in order to impact bottom-line profits. The conference is anchored with best practices and leading benchmark presentations derived from the industry’s best-known sources of statistical information. Known as the absolute best benchmarks in the industry, these presentations identify and correlate profitability to operational behaviors, market choices and more.
This year’s theme – Opportunity is Knocking – is designed to inspire, motivate and educate processors on how to continuously improve every day. Becoming better is not something that just happens; good leaders continually strive to improve and will use the 2020 Virtual Benchmarking and Best Practices Conference as a tool to help them achieve their goals.
KEYNOTE: The Unpardonable Sins of Leadership
Phillip Van Hooser’s approach to leadership training and communication skills development is drawn from his own experience in community banking, FORTUNE 500 manufacturing and consumer products companies. From his roles in employee relations, training and human resources, Phil knows the impact authentic, engaged employee relations have on productivity and profits.
And he knows the practical, commonsense strategies leaders, managers and supervisors can implement to win credibility, communicate effectively and engage confidently with employees while reducing conflict and reaching organizational goals.
An engaging keynote speaker, leadership training expert, accomplished business writer and mentor to emerging Millennial and Gen Z leaders, Phillip Van Hooser is committed to delivering keynotes and professional development training that help companies and organizations experience:
- Stronger, more productive leader/employee relations,
- Greater teamwork, trust, communication and collaboration, and
- Improved bottom-line business results.
During Van Hooser’s high-energy keynote, he will highlight three behaviors leaders should recognize and avoid – now and forever. Practical, focused and timely, Van Hooser is sure to get each and every attendee reflecting on how individuals empathize, engage, motivate and capitalize on talents and knowledge in the face of adversity.
