BUILT TO WIN.

Leadership Conference
How leaders build teams that win — and never lose momentum.
Sept 10 · 2026

One Full Day

The Big Idea
Most leaders don't lose to talent.

They lose to lost momentum.

It’s not talent. It’s not resources. It’s not work ethic. You didn’t get this far without all three-you got here because you had momentum, in waves. Until the noise got louder, the team lost the thread, and the drive that built this started to feel like a memory.

Built to Win is about getting it back and protecting it across your whole team.

Not the surface kind that fades by Wednesday. The kind that compounds-that makes you the leader your team, your culture, and your organization have been waiting for.

A repeatable system for momentum on demand.

For you and the people you lead—even in the seasons when no one feels it. The system that turns one day into lasting change across an organization.

Your Host

"The leaders I work with don't have a talent problem.

They have a momentum problem."

Seth Yelorda helps leaders eliminate organizational noise and build extraordinary teams. Through the Lead with Clarity™ framework, he’s guided executives and organizations to lead with clarity, confidence, and conviction — and to build cultures that win.

SETH YELORDA
LESSONS THAT MATTER
What You Leave With

FOUR OUTCOMES.

No theory blocks. No filler. Every minute of this day is engineered to move you — and the team behind you — forward on the four fronts that matter most.

01

Lead With Clarity

Get clear on what you’re leading toward- and the noise that’s quietly in the way.

02

Align Your Team

A shared language and one plan your whole team can run on Monday morning.

03

Connect With High-Level Leaders

Real relationships with executives and founders solving the same problems you are.

04

Build Momentum That Lasts

A repeatable system for momentum that doesn’t fade by Wednesday.

The People On Stage

Every voice on this stage has led real teams through real pressure and come out the other side with something to show for it. They’re here to hand you the playbook. Additional speakers to be announced.

Seth Yelorda
Host and Keynote Speaker

Seth is a leadership strategist, speaker, and the founder of Lead with Clarity™, where he helps executives cut through organizational noise and build teams that finish what they start.

His work centers on a simple conviction: most teams don’t fall short because they lack talent, resources, or effort. They fall short because somewhere along the way, they lost momentum.

In the opening keynote, Seth walks the room through the three disciplines that separate teams that finish from teams that quit.

Minda Harts
Bestselling Author and Workplace Strategist

Minda Harts is a bestselling author, workplace consultant, award-winning filmmaker, and sought-after keynote speaker who helps organizations turn trust into their greatest competitive advantage.

She is also an assistant professor at NYU and the founder of The Memo LLC.

MyRon Edmonds
Founder & CEO, The Winning Circle

Dr. MyRon Edmonds knows winning isn’t about talent — it’s about refusing to lose momentum when everything in you wants to quit.

As founder and CEO of The Winning Circle, he helps high-performing men in leadership achieve emotional healing, personal alignment, and whole-life success.

His SHIFT Framework, forged from his own journey through struggle and transformation, has helped thousands rebuild their identity and leadership with greater integrity.

Michael Kelly
Leadership Development & Workplace Culture Consultant

Michael spent more than 20 years as a pastor before facing one of the most challenging moments of his life: losing the only career he had ever known. He made the unlikely pivot into Hollywood, eventually becoming Vice President of Social Impact at Participant, the Oscar-winning production company behind some of the most impactful films of a generation.

When Participant closed, Michael bet on himself once again, joining Disney Entertainment Television,where he works directly with production teams on building healthy workplaces, developing leaders, and strengthening teams through seasons of change.

His work sits at the intersection of leadership, organizational culture, and resilience, helping people flourish even in the midst of uncertainty. He knows firsthand what it means to lose momentum. And he knows what it takes to get it back.

The proof

leaders who’ve
done the work.

Seth was an incredible speaker for our Higginbotham Seminar in Branson, Missouri! He not only blew me away with his message, but the impact he had on our attendees was beyond my expectations!

Seth’s work is thought-provoking, appropriately challenging, and incredibly engaging. His content delivery and professionalism stood out, and the feedback from our leadership team was overwhelmingly positive.

QUESTIONS ANSWERS.

Who is this conference for?

Leaders responsible for the momentum of a team, a culture, or an organization — executives, founders, healthcare and nonprofit leaders, educators, and high-performing professionals who win or lose through other people. 

Both — and neither, the way you’ve seen them done. You’re not here to sit through talks. Every movement is engineered to send you home with something you can actually run. Keynote energy, working-session depth. You’ll think, you’ll work, and you’ll leave with a plan for your team.

Yes — and the leaders who get the most out of this don’t come alone. The whole day is built to align a group, not just move one person, and momentum sticks when your team builds it together. Team rates are available.

 No — and that’s on purpose. This is a be-in-the-room day. The breakouts, the connections, and the close don’t translate to a screen, and the people who came to do the work shouldn’t have to share the room with a replay. When the doors open September 10, you’re either in it or you’re not.

 If you’re after hacks, a one-day motivational high, or a chance to listen passively from the back, this isn’t your event. Built to Win is for leaders ready to do real work and carry it back to a team that’s counting on them. If that’s not you, keep your money — we’d rather have the right room.

The Zapara School of Business at La Sierra University, Riverside, CA. Easy freeway access from across the Inland Empire, LA County, and Orange County — and Ontario Airport is under 25 minutes away for fly-in attendees. Parking details and directions go out with your registration confirmation.

Seats are limited, and yours is held the moment you register — so tickets are non-refundable. But life happens: your seat is fully transferable to someone else on your team or in your network up to 3 days before the event. Just let us know and we’ll make the swap.

THE LEADERS WHO WIN AREN'T THE MOST GIFTED. THEY'RE THE ONES WHO REFUSE TO LOSE MOMENTUM.
