Introducing our keynote speaker…

WIN MONDAY: The High-Performance Habit that Fuels Momentum, Growth, and Success

Keynote Presentation
Paul Epstein, Former NFL and NBA Chief Sales Officer, Award-Winning Speaker, and 2x Bestselling Author

Monday isn’t just another day. It’s the most reliable performance habit of your entire week. Every seven days your team gets the same reset. The question is whether that reset sparks winning actions and momentum or defaults to comfort and stagnation.

In this discussion, bestselling author Paul Epstein reveals the weekly habit that separates champions from everyone else: flipping Mondays from missed opportunities into momentum drivers that lead to lasting growth and success. The brochure notes that 86% of employees consider Monday their worst day of the week, while people who accomplish something meaningful on Monday often feel momentum throughout the week.

Discover the keys to building good habits and breaking bad habits
Shift your organization’s identity from TGIF dreamers to TGIM doers
Transform Mondays into a catalyst for momentum, growth, and success
Strengthen commitment, ownership, and accountability
Build a repeatable, scalable habit system that spreads across teams

Every CEO 40 Group member will receive a digital copy of Paul’s new book, WIN MONDAY, a 52-week playbook to create 365 ROI.
