	Keynote Address Zing! Your Life and Leadership with Nancy Hunter Denney Ever notice how some people have “it” and some wonder what “it” is?  Have you started to wonder why some people get noticed and you only get passed by and passed up.  In a highly humorous and engaging presentation style, Nancy Hunter Denney presents her original Zing! Impact Equation demonstrating it’s never just one thing, rather a combination of the person, environment, skill level and minimization of distractions that determine the level of one’s potential influence or charisma.  Zing! is the thing that allows others to “override competing forces to positively influence others.”  Zing! is living life and leadership with an exclamation point and comes from the fundamental belief, “the energy you put out there, is the energy you get to draw from.”  From self-inspection to humility, insights are shared suggesting any person has the potential to increase their influence by recognizing another fundamental belief, “you can’t expect different results by repeating the same behaviors.  It’s time to live life and leadership with an exclamation point. Audience members are challenged to use their aptitude to show their gratitude and turn the many opportunities afforded them into a personal sense of obligation to serve a greater social good. What time is it?  It’s Zing! time.
