Shasta Nelson is a keynote speaker, author, and leading expert on friendship. Frequently featured in the media as the go-to resource on healthy relationships, Shasta has been interviewed live on several television shows including Katie Couric’s Katie, Fox Business, The Early Show, and The Today Show.
This program is designed for leaders and organizations who want to know how to foster the relationships that will decrease turnover and increase employee fulfillment.
Creating an environment where friendships are encouraged and nurtured benefits both the company and the employee. Meaningful friendships at work are effective solutions for employee retention, increased engagement, customer service, and increased revenue. Employees who have friendships at work (where they spend more time than any other place) show an increase in good health and overall happiness in all aspects of their lives.
This fun and interactive presentation provides us a framework for what we can do to evaluate, repair, and deepen the bonds on our teams.
Get ready to send those golf balls SOARing when we return to Topgolf Nashville for delicious food, fun games, and amazing views of the Nashville skyline from Topgolf’s rooftop terrace.
No golfing ability? No problem! Topgolf is a game that anyone can play (and win). Players hit micro-chipped golf balls that track each shot’s accuracy and distance while awarding points for hitting targets on the outfield. Whether you’re an aspiring golf pro or you’re picking up a club for the first time, Topgolf is everyone’s game. It’s competitive. It’s fun.
Come experience the energy, the excitement, and the atmosphere. It’s the perfect mix of fun and golf.

Kyle Scheele has been called “the patron saint of crazy ideas.” Whether he’s having a Viking funeral for the regrets of 21,000 people, hosting the world’s first fake marathon, or gaining a million TikTok followers in just 25 hours, Kyle is always on the lookout for crazy ideas that produce wildly outsized outcomes.
Over the last decade, his projects have been featured in outlets like Fast Company, WIRED, The Washington Post, Yahoo!, BuzzFeed, UpWorthy, Goalcast, and more. His videos have been viewed over 250 million times, and he has spoken to hundreds of thousands of audience members across the United States. More than anything, Kyle hopes that his story can inspire others to chase their own crazy ideas and become the people they were meant to be.
We’re convinced that the only thing standing between us and our best work is more money, more time, more resources, more buy-in, a better team, a better boss, a better piece of software… the list goes on. But the truth is, real creative work thrives within constraints. True creative work exists in the gap between what you have and what you think you need. After all, if you had everything you needed, you wouldn’t need creativity at all.
True creativity showed up when the Apollo 13 astronauts had to make square filters fit round tubes. It showed up when a global pandemic made in-person work a liability. And it’ll show up for you too, once you let go of your misguided beliefs about what true creativity requires.
