As a kid, Alan used to “jump the train and ride the rails” home from school (yup, he was too lazy to walk across town). Little did he know then, watching cars couple in the switching yards would lead to profound lessons on how leaders connect – or fail to connect – with their people. Combined with experiences from his love for travel, Alan will discuss connection lessons from Travel Agents, Tour Guides, and Locomotive Leaders.
