Keynote Speaker - Dandapani

We are thrilled to announce that Dandapani will be a keynote speaker at the Ohio HR Conference. Dandapani is a Hindu priest, entrepreneur and a former monk of 10 years. After graduating university with a degree in Electrical Engineering he left it all behind to become a Hindu monk under the guidance of one of Hinduism's foremost spiritual leaders of our time, Sivaya Subramuniyaswami. For 10 years he lived a life of serious personal discipline and training at his guru's cloistered monastery in Hawaii.

Join us for an amazing day of learning with a former monk who blends ancient spiritual tools into a modern world to create a successful and sustainable personal and business life.


Keynote Speaker - Chris Mosier

We're excited to announce that Chris Mosier will be a keynote speaker at the Ohio HR Conference.

Chris Mosier is a trailblazing athlete, coach, and founder of TransAthlete.com. In 2020 he made history by becoming the first transgender athlete to compete in the Olympic Trials in the gender with which they identify. 

Prior to that, in 2015 he became the first openly trans man to make a Men's US National Team. Following the national championship race, he was instrumental in getting the International Olympic Committee policy on transgender athletes changed, and in June 2016 he became the first trans athlete to compete in a world championship race under the new rules.  

He has been called "the man who changed the Olympics" by the BBC and New York Magazine. Mosier is a six-time member of Team USA, representing the United States in the sprint triathlon and the short course and long course duathlon, which is a run/bike/run event, a two-time Men's National Champion, and a Men's All-American. 

 Chris will speak on Moving Beyond Pride Month: How Inclusion Improves High-Performance Environments & Workplaces Year Round.



Keynote Speaker - Lisa Sun

Lisa Sun, founder, and CEO of GRAVITAS, electrifies audiences as she unpacks this vital question as she seamlessly blends stories from her personal journey with data and experience-driven insights from her 11 years at McKinsey & Company. She will encourage you to choose self-confidence, work to harness your "superpower," and use gravitas to advance personally and professionally. 

Lisa's topic is - What would happen if you let go of fear, got off the sidelines, and jumped boldly into the game of life?
