Join us on March 19th for a candid conversation about investing!

In this Ask Me Anything panel discussion, you'll have the opportunity to learn from peers as we tackle the often-taboo subject of wealth management.

  • Passive vs. Active Investing

  • Collaborating with Financial Advisors

  • Tax Strategies

  • Conventional Asset Classes (Stocks & Bonds)

  • Real Estate

  • Alternative Asset Classes (VC/Angel Investing, Hard Money Loans, Private Equity, etc.)

  • Asset Allocation

  • Estate Planning

The Future of Work - Managing a Remote Workforce
Mar
6

The Future of Work - Managing a Remote Workforce

We are excited to invite you to a thought-provoking event featuring two industry experts, David Nilssen and Cory Sanford, who will share their insights on The Future of Work - Managing a Remote Workforce. If you have, or are considering remote employees, this is the event for you!

COVID-19 and the Great Resignation completely changed how we work, forever. Today, talent scarcity is a global challenge; entrepreneurs are struggling with the workspace debate; and building culture has become more difficult than ever. In this session, David Nilssen and Cory Sanford will discuss how leading companies have transformed talent acquisition, workspace design, and organizational culture – making them distinct competitive edges. In addition, they’ll address how a human-centric approach with artificial intelligence is propelling productivity to new heights.

Key Discussion Points:

Human Capital: Addressing the global talent scarcity and the stark realities of American demographics, we'll examine emerging post-COVID personas and strategize on reinventing talent acquisition with a global view.

Workspace: For most businesses, office space is a critical component of how we train team members and build culture. But there is a tremendous and growing divide between leaders and workers. With this debate intensifying, we'll explore the future of workspaces and guide you in choosing between traditional offices, remote, or hybrid models.

Culture: Explore a three-part framework for transforming and gauging company culture, identify the crucial link between culture and connection, highlight the two essential elements of culture-building, and present a modern case study on a company's talent journey (and their quantifiable results). 

Human+ (AI): Far from displacing jobs, AI is reshaping business operations and boosting productivity. We'll share insights and examples from early adopters who are leveraging AI tools effectively.

About the Speakers:

David Nilssen is the CEO of DOXA Talent which helps businesses to build and scale-up high-performing, borderless teams leveraging talent from across the world. Prior to DOXA, David cofound Guidant Financial which has helped 25,000 entrepreneurs to secure $6B to start or buy a business in each of the 50 US states. He has over 800 team members and ZERO office space. Nilssen has helped to launch and advise companies in neuropharma, online travel, personal financial management, healthcare tech, digital administration & more. He is a member of the Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) and Young President’s Organization (YPO) and serves on the Global Board of Directors of EO plus Guidant Financial. David has a unique perspective about the future of work and challenges why business leaders must adapt faster than ever before.

Cory Sanford, VP of Talent & Culture at Guidant Financial and an instructor at Cornell University's Executive Master in Human Resource Management program, brings a rich background of HR in finance, business services, the public sector and healthcare. His upcoming book, "HR You Kidding Me?" aims to revolutionize human capital strategies with cutting-edge practices learned from nearly 15+ year HR career where he helped two different companies win #1 Best Places to Work honors.
