Speech Topics

<ul><li><strong>Rallying, UnBlocking and Getting out of the Way: A CEOs 3 Most Important Jobs</strong></li><li>Most people would say a CEOs main responsibilities are things like “running a company,” “maximizing profits,” and “building operational efficiencies.” Neha Sampat, three time tech founder and CEO and current founder and CEO of Contentstack, believes her job is about rallying, unblocking and getting out of the way. There’s a method to that magic, and Neha’s here to share how those three things combine to create organizational excellence and what they look like in everyday leadership.</li><li><strong>Why Status Quo is Your Worst Enemy</strong></li><li>As CEO of Contentstack, Neha Sampat’s mission is to do more than help people find a better CMS — it’s to liberate them. If that sounds like a grand ambition spoken a little bolder than what you might be used to, that’s because it is. Neha’s team focuses on bringing hope to those deflated and discouraged by broken systems. They combat inertia and challenge the status quo. And, while this is an excellent customer success strategy when you’re asking people to adopt and invest in new company-wide platforms, isn’t it also a life strategy worth taking on? Change is hard, it’s scary, it doesn’t happen overnight, and the road is full of unknowns. But the upsides can be immeasurable. Neha shares the benefits of change and how to approach it practically.</li><li><strong>Creating a Purpose-Filled Organization Starts with Values...but it’s so much More</strong></li><li>Study after study shows that times are a-changin. Younger generations value purpose more than profit, and look for meaning in their careers. Customers are drawn to brands with a POV and a bias for action. But how do you infuse purpose when you’re CEO of a SaaS content management company? Neha Sampat, three time tech founder and CEO and current founder and CEO of Contentstack, will share. Neha and Contentstack are recognized regularly for happy cultures, diversity, best tech work culture and more. Yes, it starts with values but it also involves dedicated initiatives, vocal executives, and measurement of goals.</li><li><strong>Fun: The Most Underrated Leadership Value </strong></li><li>You often hear about transparency, decisiveness, and resilience as traits of good leaders. But how come fun gets so little love? Fun can be a driver of culture, marketplace differentiation, and customer and employee retention. It’s also an awesome way to express your organizational values every day. Neha Sampat, three time tech founder and CEO and current founder and CEO of Contentstack, will share her how to infuse fun across your work life. She’ll use examples from Contentstack, from assigning animal names to departments, giving awards for best pandemic hair, and incorporating sommelier skills into entertaining. Contentstack has a 99% customer retention rate, so fun works. Now, who do you think the Foxes are?</li></ul><p><br></p>
