Connected Leaders Academy Scaling your business “sounds good,” at least on paper. But diminishing returns soon have us working harder than ever. How do the most effective and efficient business grow in the best way, getting both bigger AND stronger? Buckle your seatbelts—this journey is not for wimps. Scaling has everything to do with two words: CLARITY and EMPOWERMENT. For me, learning that was costly. I architected and led the only company in the world to personally train leaders inside the borders of every country around the globe. It was sobering, exciting, terrifying and… worth it! I've actually asked people to put their life on the line to accomplish a great mission. We learned so much, but often the hard way. Come learn from my mistakes. After our time together you will have a plan to recruit and empower leaders who are truly 9's and 10's (and the occassional 14!). When done the right way, they will lead. You and I love, encourage, resource, and set strategic direction. It's BEAUTIFUL and it WORKS. “Dr. Rob” is known globally as a leader who cares. He was CEO of a company that had 700 hospitals, clinics, and schools across six continents. Then John Maxwell recruited Dr. Rob to lead the largest leadership development company in the world. He has now dedicated his life to helping smaller businesses and individual leaders maximize their growth and impact. His team has described him as a leader who believes in you, then gives you three hugs and a kick in the rear. Dr. Rob and Dawn have been married 40 years; they live in San Diego. Their faith is strong; they started a family foundation to change the world. Their kids grandkids live in Atlanta and Dallas. Rob’s enjoys life, he’s been to every Baseball stadium, he founded the Silicon Valley Wine Auction, and he’s eaten at more than 200 of the “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives” the Food Network.

Connected Leaders Academy As a kid growing up, I had insecurities, like any kid! These personal, family, and social insecurities provided the first set of challenges for me to overcome. Little did I know that believing in the best possible outcome as a kid, even in the midst of turmoil, would become a powerful positive habit that would help me overcome adversity as an adult. From middle school, to high school, to college and beyond, I embarked on an inspiring journey of favorable outcomes fueled by the strong educational upbringing from my parents, in spite of our low income family status. Believing in positive outcomes empowered a high degree of risk-taking in my adulthood. I moved to Chicago straight out of grad school to work for Nielsen TV Ratings, a small niche field, away from family and local comforts. After being quickly promoted, I embraced that work for a few years. I then joined an up-and-coming rock band, toured regionally, resigned from my senior statistician job in my mid 20’s, and moved to Los Angeles to be a rock star. In this 5-year effort, I gained accolades as a musician, survived the grief of my father’s passing, and escaped from Hollywood intact. I landed in Dallas, TX to re-envision my career as a musician and statistician. Putting my faith to work at a local church, I was again inspired to believe in great things. As the church was running out of funds, I negotiated a daycare startup that kept the church doors open. That year I also bought my first home and met my wife! The thrill and passion of marriage was pure bliss, until it turned into a worst case scenario of survival distress I could’ve never imagined. The years of possibility thinking became a blueprint for staying inspired through the adversity. Zoltán Szentkirályi is a father, lifelong musician, a champion of Montessori childhood education, a professor of statistics at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX, and a Life Coach at Breakthrough New Life, LLC, a company he founded to empower faithful men with winning strategies against the devastation of false accusations in marriage. An unwavering advocate for men blindsided by relationship trauma, Zoltán is on a mission to challenge public narratives about domestic violence, and to shed light on the unfair tactics of trauma entitlement waged against men, and the debilitating effects it has on fathers and children. Zoltán helps men understand their wives’ childhood trauma, to honor the love for their wives, but establish firm boundaries against trauma entitlement abuse. Zoltán coaches men to be victorious in their trials, to preserve their God given destiny, restore their purpose, and to step confidently into a future of renewed hope and dignity. doctorzoltan@gmail.com https://doctorzoltan.com/ https://www.facebook.com/doctorzoltan/ https://www.instagram.com/doctorzoltan/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/zoltanszentkiralyi/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

Connected Leaders Academy In this engaging talk, we’ll dive into the fascinating intersection of credit and consciousness. Your credit score isn’t just a number; it’s a reflection of deeper patterns in your life, shaped by beliefs and habits often rooted in your unconscious mind. These invisible forces can either limit your financial growth or propel you toward wealth and freedom. We’ll uncover how unconscious programming impacts your financial behaviors, from overspending to avoiding credit altogether. More importantly, you’ll learn how to identify and shift these hidden patterns to create a new identity—one aligned with abundance and prosperity. This session goes beyond surface-level financial strategies. It’s about understanding how your inner world influences your outer financial results. By rewiring your unconscious beliefs about money and credit, you’ll unlock the ability to build wealth, repair your credit, and step into the role of an empowered, financially-savvy individual. Whether you’re struggling with bad credit, inconsistent cash flow, or simply want to expand your financial potential, this talk will provide practical tools and insights to start your transformation. It’s time to rewrite your financial story and align your mind, habits, and actions with the abundant life you deserve. Matt Dillingham is a former Marine. He served from 2006-2012.

Connected Leaders Academy Authentic Leadership - It is so important to be authentic! Isn’t this the reason we became entrepreneurs? If I wanted to be fake then I could have stayed working in a corporation where I had a million rules to follow. Nooo Thank You!! I have done a ton of personal development on myself and I have learned to LOVE myself . This cost a lot of money, time and emotional energy so I have no desire to pretend much of anything. Our energy is cleaner and therefore much more powerful when we are ourselves anyways. My mission is always to help empower people to the max and in order to achieve the best results I have to be me so I can best serve the people that are attracted to my energy for their journey. This also helps them be the best of themselves as well! This is the main goal as when they are their true amazing and unique selves is when they get the best results. Business and life in general is easier as they then become more magnetic and what they desire comes easier. That is the entire destination. Rev.

Connected Leaders Academy I will be discussing keys to Mindful Leadership and the art of slowing down to be more effective, build more trust, and develop more intentional relationships. I will be sharing my original poem “Slow is Smooth and Smooth is Fast (Ode to the Navy Seals). Austin overcame a tumultuous childhood and found worldly success with a top Fortune 500 company, which led to a 19-year sales career. During his best year and facing midlife, he resigned to answer the call of his soul—responding to a deep purpose previously shrouded in low self-worth. Now, Austin enriches lives as a Midlife Poet, Philosopher, and Mentor to help you spark your midlife reinvention. He promotes mindfulness, personal growth, and intentional relationships through poetry, nature, authenticity, and experiential learning. Austin has been hired by large corporations, multimillionaires, and couples on the verge of breakup.
