Brett Culp, an award-winning documentary filmmaker and founder of the not-for-profit The Rising Heroes Project, will deliver a keynote address at the 2023 American Cleaning Institute (ACI) Industry Convention.
Culp’s presentation entitled, “Superhero Leadership in Uncertain Times,” will take place on February 3 during ACI’s Convention Week, January 30-February 4, 2022, at the Grande Lakes Orlando in Orlando, FL.
Culp—whose films have been featured on Netflix and Amazon Prime— reminds his audiences that “this moment in time has demanded the best from each of us. We have all been tested as never before. Leadership starts with the ability to look at each challenge as an opportunity for growth and positive impact.”
In his keynote, Brett shares powerful stories from his filmmaking adventures of ordinary people who have accomplished extraordinary things. He demonstrates how everyone has the opportunity and capacity to embrace leadership and make an impact. By learning to see themselves as leaders contributing to a positive vision, attendees will feel empowered and equipped to bring greater confidence and enthusiasm to their everyday tasks.
