From roadblocks to roadmaps: navigating the journey of big ideas.

Bringing a big idea to market is never a straight line - it’s a journey marked by challenges, roadblocks, and critical decisions.

In this engaging session, entrepreneur, speaker, and leader Leonard Buhler will share hard-won insights into what obstacles often look like, the biggest barrier most visionaries encounter, and the essential people and processes needed to transform an idea into real impact. This Speaker Series event will equip you with a practical roadmap for navigating uncertainty and scaling your vision with confidence.
