Mike Staver, the author of “Leadership Isn’t for Cowards” and the closing keynote speaker at the 2020 NSCA Business & Leadership Conference in Dallas in February, will be the keynote speaker for the 2020 NSCA Pivot to Profit virtual event in September.
Staver will focus his Pivot to Profit opening keynote on leading in turbulent times with a presentation dubbed, “The Leadership Challenge During the Most Unpredictable Time Ever.”
Staver’s keynote “zeroes in on integration company leaders’ unique obstacles,” according to today’s NSCA announcement.
“I’m excited to talk to the audience about not what’s changed, but the practical things we need to deal with,” Staver said in the announcement. “How do we balance needs to keep the business safe with keeping the business moving forward. What is a leader’s part in that?”
“Company leaders are struggling with “how to remain relevant in a world that’s constantly shifting. I’m really excited to be able to give the group some very specific steps and actionable items they can use immediately when Pivot to Profit Virtual is over,” he said.

NSCA executive director Chuck Wilson said the timing of Staver’s return to the NSCA virtual stage is “perfect.”
“His message on the psychological impact on our workforce is so profound,” said Wilson in the NSCA announcement. “Strong leadership during crisis situations is crucial, especially as we look forward.
“While not our typical P2P presenter, we felt that the level of stress, mental fatigue, and engagement issues members are reporting has made it necessary to bring Mike back,” he said.
In his P2Pv keynote, Staver will highlight:
- The four stages of crisis and how to adapt your leadership
- Why a return to normal is unlikely – and what to focus on instead
- How to diagnose and treat the aftermath of a storm, turbulence, or crisis
- The steps to managing the effects on you
