Leadership & Performance Speaker | High-Performance Clinician | Sports Medicine Specialist I help healthcare organizations, leaders, professional and elite athletes, and high-performing teams identify what’s getting in the way of better performance and turn those insights into practical solutions that work in the real world. Based in Denver, Colorado, Dr. Jim “Doc” Weathers, DC, IBD-S, CKTP, CKTI is a practicing sports medicine physician, clinical consultant, educator, and national and international speaker with more than 30 years of experience in healthcare, sports medicine, rehabilitation, business, and leadership. Doc brings something different to the stage: he doesn't just teach from experience; he continues to practice what he teaches. He remains actively involved in hands-on clinical care, working with athletes and healthcare professionals while consulting and educating practitioners and organizations. That ongoing experience keeps his presentations grounded in what actually works in the real world, not simply what looks good on paper. Clinical & Performance As a sports medicine specialist who has worked with professional and elite athletes, Doc understands that when performance matters, recovery time matters. His clinical work integrates chiropractic care, rehabilitation, advanced Kinesio Taping, and evidence-informed BioHacking strategies to help people recover, perform, and return to what they need to do. As a clinical consultant and educator, he helps healthcare professionals and organizations evaluate and implement practical recovery and performance strategies without abandoning the foundational principles that already work or unnecessarily overhauling their existing systems. Leadership & Business Doc's expertise extends beyond the treatment room. With more than three decades of business ownership, leadership, organizational development, and service diversification, he works with leaders, business owners, executives, and professionals navigating pressure, complexity, change, and responsibility. His leadership presentations are practical and experience-driven, focusing on clarity, purpose, decision-making, accountability, team dynamics, and the responsibility that comes with influence. Whether he's speaking to healthcare professionals, corporate leaders, entrepreneurs, athletes, or teams, Doc's message is consistent: Experience turns knowledge into wisdom; and wisdom is knowledge rightly applied. In an age when AI can provide almost unlimited information, Doc believes experience matters more, not less. AI can provide information and recommendations. It cannot replicate the judgment developed through decades of real-world decisions, the relationships built through years of showing up, or the accountability that comes from being responsible for helping people put knowledge into action. That's what Doc brings to every presentation: real experience, practical application, authentic stories, and frameworks audiences can actually use. Whether on the stage, in the boardroom, or in the clinic, Doc Weathers helps people perform when it counts. Because Not Performing, Is NOT An Option!

I am a serial entrepreneur, author, and speaker. I've built several multi-million-dollar businesses. My coaching and consulting methodologies are in practice in over 75 countries. I've been a keynote speaker at business events around the globe, and I'm a frequent contributor to local and national news organizations. This all came about after building and selling my first two companies and realizing I would love to help people the way my business advisor had helped me. At the time, a comprehensive coaching strategy system did not really exist in any organized way. I began by donating over 1,000 coaching hours to those in need, ranging from the homeless, military personnel, assisted living, and nursing home recipients to students and emerging entrepreneurs. That not only aligned with my philanthropic values but also helped me hone my skills as a pioneer and thought leader in the coaching and professional services sector. In 1990, I founded 7 Stage Advisors, a business coaching, mentoring, performance training, and growth advisory company. Since then, we have trained, certified, or accredited over 7,000 business coaches and mentors around the world. My methodologies have been integral to my clients becoming award-winning companies, many landing on the fastest-growing list of local and national publications, notably the Inc. 500 | 5000.

Glenna Hecht is an author, speaker, and daughter who refused to let dementia be the end of a relationship. When her mother began to disappear into the disease, Glenna went looking for a way to stay — not just present, but connected. What she found became a simple daily ritual that opened memory, sparked laughter, and reshaped their final years together. That ritual became the heart of her memoir, How Old Are You Today? — Dementia, A Mother, A Daughter, and the Game That Transformed Their Lives, a raw, honest, and deeply human account of what it means to love someone whose reality is no longer your own. Before this work, Glenna spent over three decades leading people, building cultures, and developing leaders inside recognizable brands including Starbucks, Marshall Field’s, and The Levy Restaurants at Disney, and later through her firm, Humanistic Consulting, where she has worked with more than 70,000 employees across industries. But her most profound leadership training came not in boardrooms, but beside her mother. Today, Glenna speaks to audiences about presence, grief, connection, and what becomes possible when we stop trying to fix what cannot be fixed — and start learning how to meet people where they are. Her work is for anyone navigating caregiving, loss, aging, or the slow transformation of someone they love. She lives in Dallas, Texas, with her old dog Louie, and continues to write, speak, and build conversations around the human side of change.

As a Family Addiction Recovery Coach, I am dedicated to empowering families to transform how they think about addiction, how they speak about it, and how they take action to minimize active addiction in the family. With years of experience in the old paradigm and thinking outside the box (bio-nutritionally and behaviorally), he provides insightful tools and strategies that help families approach addiction from a new perspective, fostering healthier communication and more effective recovery actions. My mission is to minimize the daily deaths from addiction through guiding families to change their end-of-physical behaviors and emotional communication patterns (from a reaction to a response), thus creating conditions in the family that are inhospitable to active addiction, and hospitable to being accountable to our word. “Alone We Can Do So Little; Together We Can Do So Much.” -- Helen Keller

Glenna transforms how people think, communicate, lead, and relate. The Promise When organizations bring Glenna Hecht to the stage, audiences don't simply listen to a presentation. They become part of a conversation. They laugh, reflect, challenge long-held assumptions, and recognize themselves in her stories. They don't leave with more information. They leave with practical tools they can put into practice immediately. On Monday morning, they think differently, communicate more effectively, lead more intentionally, and relate more meaningfully than they did before they walked into the room. The Approach Whether speaking to 20 executives or 600 conference attendees, Glenna creates an engaging, interactive experience where audiences think, learn, participate, and discover practical ideas they can immediately apply. Through compelling stories, thought-provoking questions, humor, audience interaction, and real-world examples, she transforms the way people communicate, lead, and relate to one another. The Proof Drawing on more than three decades of executive HR and leadership experience, including Starbucks, Walt Disney World's Levy Restaurants, Marshall Field's, Accenture's eCommerce incubator, and her own firm, Humanistic Consulting, Glenna brings real-world credibility to every stage. A nearly decade-long experience caring for her mother through dementia expanded her work in an unexpected way. It led to the creation of the How Old Are You Today? game and her award-winning book, How Old Are You Today? Dementia, A Mother, A Daughter, and The Game That Transformed Their Lives. Today, that experience continues to shape the way she helps audiences understand what becomes possible when connection replaces correction. Who She Serves Whether speaking to conference audiences, leaders, companies, associations, HR professionals, or caregivers, Glenna equips audiences with practical strategies they can immediately apply at work, at home, and wherever relationships matter.
