What does leadership development look like when it actually changes behavior, decision-making, and results?

At the 32nd Annual Creative Training Techniques Conference, opening keynote speaker John Pike will challenge learning leaders to rethink the gap between training programs and real-world leadership impact.

As founder and CEO of Perissos Partners, John works at the intersection of leadership development, adult learning, and assessment—helping organizations build development experiences that hold up under pressure, not just in theory.

Known for translating complexity into practical action, John brings a perspective designed for trainers, facilitators, and learning leaders navigating today’s workplace realities.
