Ross Bernstein is the best-selling author of nearly 50 sports books and has appeared on thousands of television and radio programs over his career, including CNN, NPR and ESPN, as well as on the covers of the Wall Street Journal, New York Times and USA Today. As a nationally recognized motivational speaker, Ross uses sports as a metaphor for life and for business to energize and inspire his audiences, ultimately getting them to think differently. Ross will be presenting two programs at the conference: “The Champion’s Code” illustrates what it takes to become the best of the best, while also exploring the fine line between cheating and gamesmanship in sports as it relates to values and integrity in the workplace. “Do You Believe in Miracles,” meanwhile, is about the inspirational legacy of Ross’ late friend and mentor, Herb Brooks, the coach of the fabled gold-medal-winning 1980 U.S. Olympic “Miracle on Ice” hockey team. In it, Ross encourages his audiences to follow their dreams and maybe, just maybe, even create their own miracles.
