With support from the sponsors at the right, the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to partner with the Center for Executive Education at Belmont University to present the Spring Leadership Breakfast with
Dan Heath
Author of Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard
and Made to Stick
Dan Heath is a senior fellow at Duke University's Center for the Advancement of Social Entrepreneurship. He is the co-author of SWITCH: How to Change Things When Change is Hard, which debuted at #1 on the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists.
With his brother, he also co-wrote the critically acclaimed book Made to Stick, which was named the Best Business Book of the Year, spent 24 months on the BusinessWeek bestseller list, and has been translated into 29 languages, the last of which was Slovak.
Heath is a columnist for Fast Company magazine, and he has taught and consulted with organizations such as Microsoft, Philips, Vanguard, Macy's, USAID, and the American Heart Association.
Previously, Heath worked as a researcher and case writer for Harvard Business School, co-authoring 10 case studies on entrepreneurial ventures, and later served as a consultant to the Policy Programs of the Aspen Institute. In 1997, he co-founded an innovative publishing company called Thinkwell, which continues to produce a radically reinvented line of college textbooks. Heath has an MBA from Harvard Business School, and a BA from the Plan II Honors Program from the University of Texas at Austin. He currently serves on the board of trustees of Rare, a conservation organization. Two proud (sort of) moments for Heath are his stint driving a promotional car called the "Brainmobile" across the country and his victory in the 2005 New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest, beating out 13,000 other entrants.
Walk away having learned that successful changes follow a pattern, a pattern executives can use to make the changes that matter to us, whether it is changing the world, your business or a personal goal.
