7:00 PM - Guest Speaker - Roger Blackstock
Spend an evening with motivational speaker Roger Blackstock where he will share some insight to inspire you to begin looking at yourself and your job search from a new perspective. Roger will be sharing some shocking data from the Deloitte Trend Shift Report and will encourage you to get into God’s word – read about Joseph who through his faith, time after time made the most out of adverse situations. Joseph was an intentional thinker. Roger will challenge you to learn from Joseph’s story; explore where you are in your life and consider what you are weaving into your cloak of character.
Roger's Bio:
It is rare when a single individual’s outstanding achievements are recognized in parallel careers, both as corporate executive leader and distinguished military commander. Roger Blackstock leads, speaks and teaches from his experience as a successful corporate executive, in world-class companies such as Eastman Kodak and as United States Army Green Beret Officer and Jump Master, retiring at the rank of Colonel in 2001 after 30 years of both active and reserve service. Unlike some who simply “talk leadership,” Roger has been there and is the passionate expression of dedicated expertise.
Roger helps organizations to realize the full potential of their most valuable asset - their people. His skills as a senior-level business leader and adviser enabled him to lead sales teams to top national recognition honors. As a battalion commander and then later as a brigade commander, his visionary leadership ignited changes that reversed the reputation and readiness of these organizations from bottom tier units to top performing commands. Through his unique ability to quickly discern organizational culture and alignment issues and his understanding of leadership, vision, values, and goals, Roger helps companies create dynamic cultures and stellar reputations that drive organizational results for competitive advantage. Roger is also a certified instructor for Herrmann International’s (HBDI) Whole Brain Thinking Programs and Connexus Solutions Organizational Culture and Emotional Intelligence Assessments.
Roger holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Presbyterian College and is a graduate of the U.S. Army Officers’ Advanced Course, the U.S. Army Command & General Staff College, the U.S. Army War College, and is a recipient of the United States Army’s Legion of Merit.
In his community Roger is very active as a servant leader. He is an ordained deacon and member of Parkway Presbyterian Church. Within his church, Roger founded Parkway Business Network, which assists individuals in job transition. In this volunteer role, Roger has instructed and coached hundreds of individuals to better understand themselves and gain the confidence to successfully plan their job search to secure new job opportunities.
