Development Fuse Conference! This year we will be featuring 5 amazing speakers:
Shae Petaja & Chelsea Bay Dennis: Creator and host of "Fulfillament"
Presenting on: "Know your personal story to bring
fulfillment to your career"
Chelsea Bay Dennis and Shea Petaja created and host,
“Fulfillament”, a LIVE storytelling even featuring local community
leaders who tell their personal story towards fulfillment through
their work. They are ‘yin and yang’ as business partners and friends.
Chelsea has been a solo entrepreneur for most of her career as a
graphic designer and video producer for entities that are doing good
in the world. Shea is a creative who works in finance and is a radio
personality. She has been an employee her entire career. Chelsea wears
color, rises early, and walks everywhere; Shea wears black, stays up
late, and loves to drive. What do they have in common? They are both
certified life coaches who came together to create Fulfillament to
help our community COME ALIVE in what they do, regardless of whether
the work for themselves or someone else. They are entering their 5th
season of Fulfillament and have yet to tell their own personal stories
publicly. These ladies will take the stage to tell their story for the
first time ever at FUSE! After the lunch break, they will work with
conference participants to coach them on how to understand and tell
their own story for greater fulfillment and professional advancement.

Jonathan Pool is a Business and Life Strategist who equips bold
leaders to chart new territory – territory that is off
the conventional map. After spending the past decade working with
entrepreneurs and multi-million dollar growth firms, Jonathan has a
deep understanding of how leaders and organizations differentiate,
grow and thrive - and it’s not by following a canned strategy. It
is by aligning talent with a compelling vision in a way that leverages
potential and overcomes barriers to growth.
Jonathan has equipped over 200 leaders at Otterbox™ to chart their own entrepreneurial pathways in career and life, guided JDA Worldwide to alignment and traction on a ground breaking business venture, is trained in the Allender Center’s internationally recognized methodology to overcome trauma based barriers to growth, and has been a master facilitator and trainer of Tom Paterson’s best-in-class strategic planning process. He is considered an indispensible resource to clients pursuing what is truly possible.
Presenting On: "How Great Leaders Chart Their Own Path"
Do you ever wonder why some people seem to move forward with
purpose and grace? They know where they are headed, and have an
understanding of what can keep them stuck. They are the
ones charting their own path, even when they are not in charge.
In
this keynote Jonathan will teach you how to identify, align, and
leverage your talents in a way that can maximize your potential and
that of your team. He will draw from his experience helping over
200 Otterbox employees proactively pursue professional and personal
growth. You will walk away with the strategic framework to chart your
own path.
