Whether you are an employee at a start-up or working for a global brand, Bonin brings tried-and-tested models that will allow you to shift the time-frame for your company’s growth trajectory.

You’ll learn how break-through communications, combined with customer data, is set to create an entirely new and direct relationship with the consumer. Bonin will share the real-life story of how he leveraged this methodology to grow Sundial Brands (Shea Moisture) from $250-$350 million before they were acquired by Unilever for close to $1 billion. He will also share how he is now working with a portfolio of companies that are developing the technologies and platforms that will help your organization to unlock this type of success in the future.

Enjoy the California sun and waves while you catch up with your friends and peers at MSCA22’s Welcome Reception.

Many organizations train, but don’t really know how to transfer knowledge to their employees. They struggle to communicate standard information across their workforce. Employees are faced with too much information to be retained at once, and all too often training and communication is not relevant, timely, or accessible.

Knowledge transfer is defined as getting the right amount of information to complete a task properly, and creating a way to share it effectively with the right people. Microlearning can help build a culture that is more productive, more efficient, and incident-free when it is delivered in a way that increases retention.

In this session you will:

• Learn three steps to create a trusted library of content
• Discover how to create bite-sized chunks of information that is easily consumable
• Engage in interactive exercises to create a microlearning module

There is no question we are living in unprecedented times. It seems as though our society, the market, and our industry as a whole are in constant flux. Come and join us as we sit down and discuss the state of our industry with top leading professionals and get their view points, as well as peek into the future and beyond the horizon.

When a company operates without a strategic plan the most successful leadership teams get stuck, and complexity and chaos begin to hinder your plans for growth. It may be time to tackle these challenges head on and break through to the next level in your business. Growth and scalability only happen when you are consistent in how you build your business.

One of the greatest misunderstandings of succession planning is that it’s only needed when it’s time to sell or pass the business along to the next generation. This could not be any less accurate. While succession planning is necessary for companies that are transitioning from one ownership group to another, it is also necessary if a company is going to scale and grow.

In this session we will cover how to:

• Elevate and delegate to your unique ability and scale your business
• Crystalize roles to improve accountability
• Simplify and root out complexity as it grows in your organization
• Break through the ceiling – Hitting the ceiling is a natural part of growing!

Rediscover the latest HVACR and plumbing products, services and innovative technologies at this year’s incredible exhibitor display. Our industry’s leading suppliers will be there to provide you with a unique opportunity to get first-hand information on all they have to offer your business while also supporting our conference. And be sure to visit Sponsor Row to thank all our conference sponsors who play a big role in the success of this conference.

Start your Monday off right with a challenging but accessible workout class with bands. Enjoy the sunshine and fresh air while working up a sweat!

There will be a sign up sheet at registration. Limited availability, based on a first come, first served basis.

Don’t miss this special lunch featuring the California classic In-N-Out Burger. Head down towards the Mariners Ballroom to grab lunch and walk around the exhibit space.

The is the goal of leadership is to create a culture in which people can come to work and be the best version of themselves.

Culture has impact on everything we do, everything we are and everything we become. It even has impact on the bottom line of your company. Research shows that culture is not only a differentiator, but also an asset! Yet it is the one thing we seem to have the toughest time creating and maintaining.

A culture is the behaviors and beliefs of a particular group. Every technician, project manager, and service leader you hire shows up with their own set of beliefs and behaviors and their own idea of what work is and should be. Is it possible that there are people on your team that are unknowingly undermining your culture? Or could we have leaders that, because of their belief systems, are not creating the team you really want?

In this session we will reimagine work…what it is and what it could be! We will chat about some simple movements that could transform your company’s culture and recreate the team into something even bigger and better than it is now.

Warning: thinking will have to expand!

MSCA Chair Mark Crockett will kickoff today’s session by welcoming MCAA President Bob Bolton, followed by keynote speaker Inky Johnson, who will talk about the importance of the Process over the Product.

The process is about what you become on your journey. The personal growth you achieve during the process is far more significant than the product.

If you focus solely on the goal you wish you meet, if you give yourself permission only to celebrate your accomplishments, you’ll completely miss out on one of the most amazing things about this whole process: your personal growth.

Former college football player and motivational speaker Inky Johnson will leads us through the process that helps us overcome challenges and form a better version of ourselves. Each step of the way, every hurdle and every success is an opportunity to reflect, to celebrate and to revise your process accordingly. By putting all of your attention on the end result, you’ll forget to take a look at all of the changes that are occurring as you’re finding your way.

Then join Mark for the presentation of the annual MSCA Everyday Hero Award. This award is a highly-anticipated feature of our conference where one special person is recognized for going beyond in their community, merely out of the kindness of their hearts and with a passion to make a difference. This individual’s contributions will be recognized, so don’t miss the celebration!

The popular annual Packing Party is just plain fun for a very worthy cause. For the 12th year, join us to help pack thousands of hygiene kits to be distributed to those in need worldwide. This popular event has become a conference highlight. This is an ideal way to meet fellow MSCA attendees while providing tangible help for the needy, all in a fun, interactive environment.

Many of the most successful entrepreneurs and business leaders work longer hours and get less return on their investments of time and money.

Maybe you struggle with some of these challenges:

• Lack of control over time, markets, or your company
• People who don’t listen, understand, or follow through
• Profit that’s inconsistent and/or there’s not enough
• Growth is happening, but you can’t break through to the next level
• Quick fixes that come and go bring little change with continued frustrations

Don’t let your business run you. Get a grip on your business!

The best way to start the day! The MSCA Sun Run/Walk is a 5k run/2-mile walk next to the beautiful Huntington Beach with views of the ocean. This is an incredible way to join your fellow attendees with bringing health and well being into your life. Get up early, enjoy the sunrise, and go beyond the ballroom. Participants will be timed, and the winners will be recognized. Conference attendees and spouses are welcome to attend!

Leaders have been forced to react and respond to a dynamic environment that featured everything from a dismantled supply chain and muted virtual teams to overdue calls for equality, mental health concerns, and an economy on the brink of disaster.

Well, that was fun. How do we go beyond?

Leaders can’t just flip the switch and resume their previously scheduled path to success. And the way forward? It’s filled with unclear and competing priorities, contradictions in what customers want and expect, and a workforce that’s completely divided on why they work and where they work. How do leaders inspire, inform, and prepare their people and organizations for that?

Now what? Prioritize growth.

Yes, that means financial growth, but it also means personal growth, organizational growth, and systems growth. The growth of new communities, new processes, new environments, and more.

Great challenges always create great opportunities. And this opportunity is a once-in-lifetime chance to reinvent and re-energize yourself, your team, and your business. So don’t go back to where you were. Go forward to where you deserve to be.

Too challenging? Don’t worry. You’ll grow into it.

The goal of leadership is to create a culture in which people can come to work and be the best version of themselves.

Culture has an impact on everything we do, everything we are and everything we become. It even has an impact on your company’s bottom line. Research shows that culture is not only a differentiator, but also an asset! Yet it is the one thing we seem to have the toughest time creating and maintaining.

A culture is the behaviors and beliefs of a particular group.

Is it possible that there are people on your team that are unknowingly undermining your culture? Or could we have leaders who, because of their belief systems, are not creating the team you really want?

In this session we will reimagine work…what it is and what it could be! We will chat about some simple movements that could transform the culture and recreate the team into something even bigger and better than it is now.

Warning: thinking will have to go beyond!

Mentoring and coaching, boy do we get it wrong in this industry! Using the wrong leadership styles in the wrong way doesn’t just scream poor leadership, it can harm all your efforts towards success. Hear about the two ways to lead your people and how you can leverage them to make both your life and theirs better at work and at home.

At the end of this session, attendees will be able to:

• Explain the differences between mentoring and coaching
• Determine when to use each skill
• Define your strengths as a leader

The rapid changes in our market are constantly creating a demand for new technologies. In order for our companies to be relevant in these changing times, we must be aware of what has changed and what will soon change. Join us today as we talk about current and changing technologies that will define the HVAC industry in 2022 and beyond.

Join our final session where we will celebrate MSCA Chair Mark Crockett and have the changing of the guard.

Then be inspired by our keynote speaker, Ben Nemtin. Ben has driven many other people to chase and achieve their dreams, as both a helping hand and as an inspiration. These experiences have taught him that articulating and prioritizing your personal goals is not a selfish act—but one that creates a ripple effect that can both help others directly and inspire others to live their best life. Ben weaves the remarkable story of how The Buried Life grew from 100 impossible dreams into a global movement and connects his story to the fabric of our daily lives.

Ben’s message of radical possibility combined with his ‘5 Steps to Make the Impossible Possible’ leaves audiences not only inspired but also equipped to tackle the seemingly insurmountable. Ben’s system of achieving impossible goals demystifies daunting tasks by turning ‘dreams’ into ‘projects’ and creating a digestible pathway to success. Ben reminds us that it’s never too late to start your list or leave a lasting impact on others.
