Chapter Leaders Retreat

Jennifer Esser, Vice President of Professional Development |The League

Since June 2009, Jennifer has developed and coordinated the more than 200 training programs each year that train 90% of all Wisconsin credit unions and help more than 2,600 front line, back office and executive staff and directors learn to perform their roles. She is also the lead League liaison for credit union chapters around the state. 

Neil Ihde, Professional Speaker | Life IQ

He attended conferences, had seen speakers and thought he could do that too. But it took him several years to figure out how one does that and what exactly he was going to talk about.

He has a BA in Psychology, a BA in Sociology and a MA in counseling and spent the first part of his career working with adolescents and adults in a variety of mental health settings. He eventually migrated into training and was a Learning and Development Consultant in a large healthcare organization for six years.

There he developed, delivered, and managed a management education series for both new/emerging leaders and seasoned leaders.

In 2006, he created my speaking company called Life IQ. Fast forward to today and he's worked with twenty-five Fortune 500 companies and traveled all over the country.

His goal for every audience that he works with is to present pragmatic, thought-provoking content in an engaging, energetic manner. He includes stories and real-life examples to add relevance and perspective.
