Judson’s Speeches

  • Resilience is the ability to bounce back from a major stressor, but how can teams come back stronger after such events?

    Key Takeaways:

    • Understand robustness, resilience, and anti-fragility

    • Hear personal stories of failure and success

    • Learn a formula for resilience, and how to improve that formula to go beyond resilience

    • Walk away inspired and better-equipped to handle uncertainty and volatility

  • You want your team to have an edge, so you look to better systems and processes - smarter ways to operate, more efficient systems, etc.

    But in most teams, the most fundamental asset (humans) is woefully underpowered. By connecting personal purpose to organizational purpose, people feel fulfilled. When this happens across the team, magic ensues.

    Key Take-Aways:

    • Understand the characteristics of the most incredible humans/teams

    • Learn a three-stage process for centering in your authenticity

    • Leave inspired to be more compassionate, creative, and confident

    • Strengthen organizational culture

    • Feel more empathy for everyone, most of all yourself

    • Learn how to embody the best version of yourself all the time

  • Companies like Apple and Patagonia transcend what it means to be a company. These organizations have spirit, and this drives its members further. In this talk, Jud will describe the conditions required to build a spiritual organization (without religion).

    Key take-aways:

    • Learn how culture emerges from structure

    • Explore what spirituality in a corporation looks like and how to create it

    • Learn the three most important attributes of teams that use the spiritual edge to enhance performance

  • In "Masculine Genius", Jud dives deep into the psychological, emotional, and spiritual forms of masculinity. This philosophical talk is a bundle of insight and emotion.

    Key Take-aways:

    1) Consider masculinity beyond societal confines, embracing timeless markers but expanding these markers to a more evolved ideal.

    2) Understand how to cultivate inner fortitude and wisdom, navigating life's challenges with integrity and discernment, transcending mere physical strength and “force” to harness true power.

    3) Discuss forging bonds through playfulness, vulnerability, and action.
