In a world where everyone has access to the same tools, technology, and information, the leaders who stand out aren’t just the smartest—they’re the ones who can move people.
AI can support your work, but it won’t lead your team, influence your board, or deliver your message in the moments that matter most.
Join us for Message Multipliers – Leading with Influence in the Age of AI, a powerful Spark Series session designed for executives, entrepreneurs, and high-performing leaders who want to elevate their communication and impact.
In this conversation, you’ll learn how to:
- Lead with influence before you say a single word
- Read the room and adapt your message in real time
- Deliver messages that drive action—in 5 minutes or 50
Because every time you speak, influence is either earned—or left behind.

For years, I lived in the high-pressure world of IT, where downtime wasn't an option and the stress was constant. I took pride in being the "fixer." But there is an unspoken hard truth in our industry: we spend millions on redundant systems, yet we treat our own nervous systems like a piece of hardware we can just run into the ground. A single hour of IT downtime costs the average enterprise nearly $300,000, yet nearly 60% of outages are traced back to human error, process miscommunications, or fatigue-induced mistakes.
When a critical incident hits and your system is under extreme load, your biology takes over. You can't fix it by just "trying harder," and let's be honest, traditional wellness fluff doesn't work for analytical minds. You don't need a pep talk; you need a system override.
In this 60-minute session, we are skipping the "woo-woo" and applying network engineering principles directly to human biology. You will learn how to:
- Run a Biological Diagnostic: Learn to read your body's error codes and recognize the warning lights before you hit a complete burnout outage.
- Deploy the Emergency Patch: We will test real biometric overrides, like tactical breathing tools, that act as a physical kill switch for your fight-or-flight response during a Sev 1 incident
- Build Your Digital IRP: You will leave with a downloadable "Incident Response Plan" cheat sheet to quiet the internal alarm and regain logical focus during network spikes.
Note: Log in 15 minutes before the webinar time to be ready for an on-time start.

This Summit isn't just another conference.
It's where Idaho's technology ecosystem comes together to build what's next. It's where INL researchers meet entrepreneurial founders, where Fortune 500 leaders connect with startup builders, and where community-driven innovation transforms from concept to commercial reality.
Because when Idaho's tech community collaborates across sectors, everyone wins. The research becomes more practical. The solutions scale faster. The innovations actually serve Idaho's needs. And the future becomes something we're all invested in building together.
