WE DON'T DO IT ALL, BUT WE DO IT ALL "FOR GOOD"

BE PART OF THE LEGACY

TAMPA BAY • FEBRUARY 23-24 2026

This FINAL encore experience will be unlike any other. Because like everything we do, it's been "reimagined" from beginning to end. It's not a virtual or hybrid event. It's not a conference. It's not a seminar, a workshop, a meeting, or a symposium. And it's not your typical run-of-the-mill everyday event crammed with stages, keynote speeches, team-building exercises, PowerPoint presentations, and all the other conventional humdrum. Because it's up close & personal by design. Where conversation trumps presentation. And where authentic connection runs deep.

What Is The Secret Sauce for Success?

In essence, there are two key components to success. One, you have to define what success is for you. Is it money? Is it happiness? Secondly, and most importantly, you have to have belief in yourself.

CONVERSATIONS

  1. Overall, achieving success in life is not an impossible mission, but a path to be faced day by day with constancy and without ever stopping to move forward, despite the difficulties.
    Obviously we need some basic “strategies” to be implemented.
    Personally I would suggest at least three:
    a) To get anything, you need to believe it! Only with a strong and determined personality will you have the perseverance to go all the way down the paths you have begun, to chase your goals even when everything seems lost, to never stop trying.
    Believing in one’s value is the fundamental step to convince others of one’s talent.
    b) To achieve success, a creative and brilliant intellect is not enough: it is necessary to bring it to light. For your skills to stand out and the world to notice them, it is necessary to externalize them and express them at their best in your work environment, in your community, in your area of ​​expertise. It is therefore essential to exercise social skills.
    c) Be open to new ideas. With a closed mind you are not going anywhere. Modern society is constantly evolving, changes are on the agenda, and only those with an open mind and easily adaptable will be able to follow the new trends and understand the new currents to exploit them to their advantage and follow them successfully.
