Most teams treat friction like a crisis. But at Spark Summit Colorado 2026, Craig Weber is going to show us how to treat it like a practice space.

We are incredibly excited to share that in addition to taking the main stage as a keynote speaker, Craig will be hosting an exclusive masterclass session to help us take these learnings even further!

While his keynote introduces the framework of Conversational Capacity, the masterclass is where the real groundwork happens. This fast-effect, high-impact discipline drawing on cognitive neuroscience, emotional intelligence, and management science will give your team a distinct competitive edge.

Instead of getting incapacitated when the pressure is on, you'll learn how to turn every daily meeting, tough decision, and workplace conflict into an ongoing training ground for peak performance.

What We’ll Dive Deeper Into During the Masterclass:

🔥Strengthening Emotional Discipline: How to stay grounded and rein in defensive reactions when conversations heat up.
🔥Sharpening Cognitive Focus: How to filter out the noise and keep your team zeroed in on solutions.
🔥Honing Behavioral Acumen: Practical strategies to guide your team toward constructive, learning-focused dialogue.

Come for the keynote inspiration, stay for the masterclass ex*****on, and leave with the tools to work with maximum agility and focus.

Secure your spot to learn directly from a global leadership expert!

How do you align peak internal team performance with championship-level ex*****on?

You bridge the gap between organizational science and practical performance psychology.

We are absolutely thrilled to announce national premier practitioner Dr. Rick Perea, Ph.D. (Dr. P), as a featured keynote speaker for Spark Summit Colorado 2026!

Dr. P’s client list spans major corporations like Google and Apple, to serving as the Performance Psychologist for the Colorado Rockies, the Super Bowl 50 Champion Denver Broncos, and the 2023 World Champion Denver Nuggets. He even explicitly coached former Nuggets head coach Mike Malone in communication and leadership skills to help guide the team to their historic ring.

💡 The Impact: "Doc worked with me late in the season to teach me mental imagery. The results speak for themselves. I flat-out dominated in the post-season. Doc is as cool as they come." — Von Miller, Super Bowl 50 MVP

🎤 A Sneak Peek at His Session: In his session, "Peak Performance for Top Level Outcomes," Dr. P will share his evidence-based performance protocol. While the logic of his approach is highly practical, it is the underlying science that makes it so profoundly applicable.

He will break down his unique three-step matrix to illustrate how adhering to a process-oriented flow scientifically keeps a human on the parasympathetic side of the autonomic nervous system - the biological state where calm, focus, and elite performance reside, rather than the stress-induced sympathetic side.

Get ready for unmatched energy, passion, and actionable strategies you can immediately bring back to your executive leadership teams.

Leadership inspiration means very little without intentional action. True transformation happens when we bridge the gap between knowing and doing.

We are thrilled to announce that the powerhouse founder of The Effective Communication Coach, Denise “DT” Thomas, is joining us at Spark Summit Colorado 2026!

In addition to dropping major "truth bombs" during our closing keynote address, Denise will be hosting an incredibly practical, interactive masterclass designed to give you an immediate competitive advantage.

While her keynote focuses on moving teams from inspiration to measurable ex*****on, her masterclass takes a deep dive into the high-stakes moments that truly define our leadership.

🎙️ Deep Dive Session: High-Stakes Communication: Leading with Clarity, Confidence, and Connection When It Matters Most

Whether you're managing sudden organizational change, navigating tough client boundaries, or simply trying to align daily team behaviors with company vision, Denise is delivering the exact language, structure, and techniques you need to drive measurable impact.

Get ready to leave inspired, equipped, and committed to practical shifts you can implement the very next day.

When the stakes are high, does your team's collective performance go up or down?

Under intense pressure, even the smartest teams can drop into defensive, rigid patterns that stall ex*****on. To solve this operational bottleneck, we are proud to announce best-selling author Craig Weber as a keynote speaker for Spark Summit Colorado 2026.

Craig is the founder of The Weber Consulting Group, LLC, an advisory board member for the MLOC program at Case Western Reserve and a recognized global HR influencer.

💡 The Impact: “A framework for leadership and change that is intellectually rigorous, extremely actionable, and delightfully inspiring. These are exciting and compelling ideas that you can use immediately to be a force for good and a dynamic change agent in business, government, or community life.” - Dr. Dean Williams, Faculty Chair, The Global Change Agent program, Harvard Kennedy School

🎤 A Sneak Peek at His Session: Craig will introduce the concept of Conversational Capacity - the vital competence of treating learning-focused dialogue as a core operational discipline. When teams build this capacity, they can tackle difficult subjects and navigate tough boundaries even when a project goes sideways.

Help us welcome Craig to the Spark Summit!

"It’s just faster if I do it myself."

It’s the ultimate trap for high-performing executives. While it might feel efficient in the short term, holding onto the details is the ceiling that quietly slows your company's growth.

To help leaders break through this barrier, we are proud to announce executive operations expert Hilani Ellis as a featured speaker for Spark Summit Colorado 2026.

Hilani is the founder of Exceptional Executives and Exceptional Admins. She serves as a true force multiplier, partnering with leaders from fast-growing startups to enterprise organizations like Capital One to optimize leadership capacity.

đź’ˇ The Impact: "She offered fresh ideas that were simple to deploy... She challenged our team and helped them think differently." - Greg Cole, Founder, Cole Landscaping.

🎤 A Sneak Peek at Her Session: Rather than teaching basic delegation tactics, Hilani will share a candid look at how top leaders correctly structure, hire, and leverage high-level executive support to maximize operational capacity.

Welcome to the Western Slope Spark Summit, Hilani!

Leadership doesn’t happen on a spreadsheet.

It happens in real-time. When a critical decision must be made instantly, or when a high-stakes conversation completely derails.

In those moments, what matters most isn't what you know - it's who you are.
We are delighted to announce executive coach and author Bobbi Kahler as a speaker for Spark Summit Colorado 2026 to dive into this core aspect of professional resilience.

Bobbi has spent more than 25 years helping over 3,000 professionals at organizations like US Bank and Farmers Insurance build the steady internal clarity required to lead effectively through uncertainty.

đź’ˇ The Impact: "Her coaching has helped me be able to tackle the 'difficult conversation' that used to cause me so much stress! Now I tackle them with confidence and ease." - Aldi Omanovic, Branch Manager.

🎤 A Sneak Peek at Her Session: Bobbi moves past surface-level tactics to help you identify the behavioral patterns that show up under intense pressure. You'll walk away with actionable ways to bring steadiness, soften resistance, and expand your real-time influence.

Welcome to the Spark Summit, Bobbi!

Most local businesses overcomplicate growth. They chase flash-in-the-pan marketing tactics, jump from platform to platform, and mistake frantic "activity" for genuine operational progress.

To bring clarity to regional scaling, we are proud to announce Ross McDaniel, founder and CEO of Fencepost, as a featured speaker for Spark Summit Colorado 2026!

Ross is the leader of a digital marketing agency helping home service businesses scale through a proven system for consistent, profitable lead generation. Driven by a deep passion for his family and his community, he expertly blends marketing expertise with operational clarity to drive sustainable growth.

đź’ˇ The Impact: "We could not be more satisfied with the Fencepost team. Since we started working together, Ross and Sarah have made a substantial impact on our business - not just as marketers, but as true strategic partners." - Carson Spears, Seeds 'n Such

🎤 A Sneak Peek at His Session: Ross will break down The Local Growth Formula, focusing on the four essential ingredients for local marketing: Visibility, Competency, Social Proof, and Referral.

He will map out the Growth Paradigm that protects businesses from premature scaling - prove it, make it predictable, make it profitable, then scale. You will leave with three highly actionable plays you can run that very week.

No fluff, no abstract theory - just real, practical tools that move local businesses forward.

Welcome to the 2026 Spark Summit stage, Ross!
