Tuesday, January 20 9:00 - 10:00am Registration Opens, Vistas Lobby (Hot breakfast provided.)

10:00 - 10:10am Welcome and Introduction, Vistas Ballroom Linda Rasor, TORCH Board Chair; David Pearson, President & CEO, TORCH, Austin, TX

10:10 - 11:10am Retreat to Success: Living Your Life on “Purpose”, Vistas Ballroom Billy Moyer, Co-Founder & President, SOS Leadership Institute, Austin, TX Are you so busy doing everything that you don’t get anything done? So many people

just fast-forward through life that they often fail to focus on what matters most. Most people don’t even realize WHY they do what they do because they haven’t taken the time to think about the WHY. Vision is important, as is Mission, but Purpose is WHY we do what we do. Purpose is the gas to get us to our Vision. It is impossible to realize our life Purpose without taking time to slow down. In this keynote, Billy will share four keys to realizing your Purpose in life and he will discuss how you can use that Purpose to be a better leader. He will share his own story of realizing his Purpose and how he continues to lead with that Purpose today.

11:10 - 12:00pm Priorities and Perspectives, Vistas Ballroom Cliff Dugosh, Founder, Speakers of Significance, San Antonio, TX Perspective is everything, so the saying goes, because it creates opportunities that

allow for a new way to see and understand people and situations. Combined with prioritization, perspective helps us focus on becoming more effective as individuals, leaders and team members. In this session we will take a humorous, thought-provoking look at life, and by looking at it from a little different angle, you’ll be amazed to discover what’s truly important in the whole scheme of things. Gain insight into a crucial life lesson that will remind us all how we often don’t know (or forget) what we’ve got until it’s gone. This one could change your life as you know it today.
