Speakers:

Jade Gordon knows the power of positive leadership principles better than anyone, as Jon Gordon’s daughter, she was raised on them and knows the impact they can have. That’s why she is now on a mission to develop positive leaders and build great teams as a keynote speaker and workshop leader for The Jon Gordon Companies.
Jade has worked with companies such as Hanes, Reddy Ice, and Paysafe, many athletic programs including Harvard, Ole Miss, & Auburn, professional teams in the NHL and non-profits about leadership and teamwork.
Jade is also a former athlete who helps athletes develop a winning and team first mindset. Jade Gordon is a graduate of Clemson University with a degree in Communications. After college she moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting while working at Nobu Malibu, a World Famous restaurant. She learned the art of great customer service by loving and caring about the people she encountered daily. She brings that same love and passion to her keynotes and workshops.

Steve Cuss is the author of Managing Leadership Anxiety: Yours and Theirs and The Expectation Gap and also a columnist and host of Christianity Today’s Being Human podcast. Steve founded Capable Life to help people lower anxiety, break stuck patterns and increase wellbeing in the work place, home place and in your faith.
Steve was first exposed to Family Systems Theory when he was a chaplain and he later studied it in graduate school. Steve holds sixteen hundred hours of supervised ministry in Clinical Pastoral Education and is a Spiritual Care Professional in the ACPE. He holds a Master of Divinity from Emmanuel Christian Seminary with a thesis focusing on the dignity laws of Leviticus and Exodus and how a suburban church can move beyond charity to address systemic poverty.
Steve has served in a variety of pastoral roles for 26 years, the majority of those years as a lead pastor. He married Lisa and they have two sons and a daughter, in whom they take great delight. When Steve is not working, you can find him laughing with his family, knee-deep in a trout stream, or trying a guitar he cannot afford at a local music store.
