Keynote Speaker: Rex Miller
Rex Miller is a distinguished expert in optimizing human and team performance, providing strategic foresight, and guiding leaders through organizational transformation. Rex has helped leaders anticipate and leverage strategic trends and impending risks.
With over two decades of experience as a consultant and coach, Rex has led innovation across various sectors, including integrated project delivery, education, workplace engagement, and corporate and educational wellness. His groundbreaking MindShift process has tackled systemic challenges, bringing together over 400 experts, owners, users, and stakeholders. This collaborative effort produced five books and garnered three prestigious international awards.
Recognized for his leadership and innovation, Rex has received numerous accolades, including the IFMA Distinguished Author Award, CoreNet’s Industry Excellence Award, and the Global Innovator Award. He is particularly renowned for his ability to develop high-performing capital project teams rapidly and is a pioneer in Integrated Project Delivery.
Rex’s latest venture, GeniusSpark, builds on NASA’s Apollo research, which discovered that 98% of five-year-olds operate at a genius level, a figure that drops to just 2% by adulthood. GeniusSpark aims to reignite that childhood genius, empowering people to rediscover their potential.
During the pandemic, Rex and his wife, Lisa, acquired River Rose, a historic ranch and retreat center in Glen Rose, Texas, where they now host teams and leaders for immersive experiences in nature, insights into their genius, and the inspiration to change their worlds.
