Amanda Ripley is the author of The Unthinkable, the first mass-market book to explain how the brain works in disasters. Ms. Ripley’s work is unusual and compelling. She doesn’t just explain what happens in disasters; she extensively investigates why people do what they do, and how we can do better, combining science with storytelling.
As a longtime contributor at TIME Magazine, Ms. Ripley has traveled the world studying disasters, natural and man made. She chronicled Hurricanes Katrina and Rita from New Orleans, helping TIME win two National Magazine Awards. She covered 9/11 from Manhattan, the sniper attacks in and around Washington, DC, and from Paris, the catastrophic 2003 European heat wave which killed an estimated 50,000 people. Ms. Ripley has received awards from the Society of Professional Journalists, the Newswomen's Club of New York and the Washington Monthly, among others, and she is a two-time Livingston Award finalist.
Jason Ryan Dorsey knows the generation gap firsthand. His Boomer mom keeps checking on him. His Gen Y sister won’t be his Facebook Friend. His Traditionalist grandfather calls every Sunday—from a landline. Most important, his generational strategies and ready-to-use best practices have created significant breakthroughs for companies and individuals around the world.
He has been featured as a generational expert on 60 Minutes, 20/20, The Today Show, The View, and in Fortune Magazine and The Wall Street Journal. His unique speaking style—combining practical how-to with real-world comedy—has received standing ovations from audiences as large as 13,000.
Gordon Graham is a 33-year veteran of California Law Enforcement. His education as a Risk Manager and experience as a practicing Attorney, coupled with his extensive background in law enforcement, have allowed him to rapidly become recognized as a leading professional speaker in both private and public sector organizations with multiple areas of expertise.
Today, Gordon divides his time between study, research, writing, speaking, and consulting in the discipline of risk management. His innovative programs, based on the values and beliefs he learned as a child along with a passion for continuous improvement, are the standard for any organization that wants to improve existing operations and prevent things from going wrong.
