Aloha,

Welcome to Hawaii Business Magazine’s 7th annual Leadership Conference – our first ever digital conference! If you have attended the Leadership Conference in the past, you know that we normally host hundreds of people in person and this obviously isn’t possible this year. While we cannot be together in person a digital conference gives us the ability to extend our reach to the entire State and even across the South Pacific and we are excited about this chance to forge wider connections.

Our mission statement is “locally owned, locally committed” and we take this mission very seriously. The Leadership Conference is one of the most prestigious and largest professional development events in Hawai‘i, and at every conference we aim to provide you with the opportunity to learn from professionals at the highest level of leadership in our community. This year is no di�erent in that respect.

Over the next three days you can attend one or more of 15 sessions covering topics that will help you sharpen your business skills, learn about attributes that are essential to great leadership and consider how we can all work together to make a di�erence in our community.

We are grateful to all of the speakers and panelists who are giving so generously of their time and expertise – they realize that a conversation about leadership, overcoming challenges and creating positive change in our community is more important now than ever before.

First Hawaiian Bank is the presenting sponsor of this conference as they have been since it first launched seven years ago. We are deeply grateful for their willingness to support this innovative pivot into the virtual realm and their steadfast commitment to leadership in our community. I would also like to thank our supporting sponsors: Kamehameha Schools, PACXA, Servco Pacific, St. Andrew’s Schools, UHA Health Insurance and Ulupono Initiative. The Conference would not be possible without these partnerships.

And on behalf of the entire Hawaii Business Magazine team: thank YOU for attending this year. You are taking the time, amidst all the challenges created by the pandemic, to think about growth and future possibilities for yourself and our community – and THAT is what leadership is all about.

Mahalo,

Cheryl Oncea,P U B L I S H E R , H A W A I I B U S I N E S S M A G A Z I N E

Aloha!

Welcome to the 7th Annual Leadership Conference.

First Hawaiian Bank is once again proud to be the presenting sponsor of Hawai‘i’s premiere leadership development conference. We hope you will enjoy the new virtual conference format giving you convenient access to insights from top industry leaders.

The COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our economy has required all of us to evaluate how we live, work and interact with each other. Today’s leader needs to be agile and comfortable leading through uncertainty. It is also critical that business leaders and community partners join with local government to work collaboratively, ensuring our employees and customers can safely adapt to a ‘new normal’ as we begin to re-open the economy. Through our collective leadership, we can build a stronger, more resilient future for Hawai‘i.

Mahalo for taking the time to invest in your professional development. Whether you are motivated to be a top leader at your organization, or looking to grow your knowledge base with like-minded business professionals, this leadership conference will help you, and the teams you lead, be ready for the challenges ahead.

Mahalo for joining us.

Noriko NamikiCEO,

YWCA O‘AHU

Born and raised in the sugar towns of the Big Island’s Hilo Coast, aio Founder and Chairman Duane Kurisu was instilled early on with the traditional values of Hawai‘i’s plantation culture. A product of Hilo High School and the University of Hawai‘i-Mānoa, Duane launched his first compa-ny in his late 20s to develop and manage commercial real estate properties in the Islands and on the mainland. He soon branched out into a variety of business interests, and the acquisition of his first magazine property in the 1990s led to the creation of the aio family of companies. Today, Duane’s plantation roots still shape his vision for aio. Those time-honored small-town values of family and community are equally important in the world of commerce and industry — the local values of trust, respect, humility and honesty that drive the companies and inspire the people of aio.

Noriko Namiki is the Chief Exec-utive O¢cer of the YWCA O‘ahu, which has three locations across the island. Noriko’s leadership not only extends to the oversight of organizational, fiscal and fa-cilities management, but also to the delivery and execution of the YWCA’s mission of eliminating racism and empowering wom-en. Noriko strives to keep the organization’s mission moving forward through programmatic, service, and advocacy activities to empower women and girls of the Hawai‘i community to reach their full potential.

Kai LennyPROFESSIONAL WATERMAN

Lesley Paterson is a five-time world champion professional triathlete, professional moun-tain biker, endurance coach, author, and screenwriter. Lesley competes around the world as a triathlete and is founder and owner of Braveheart Coaching, an endurance fitness company that trains the bodies and minds of athletes worldwide.

Ever since he can remember, Guy was always outside. His father loved to fish and always took him along. Fishing took up much of his young life until he was introduced to surfing. Once he caught his first wave, surfing became a lifelong obsession. All surfers are keenly aware of the weather and Guy was no di�erent. He kept an eye on the conditions so he wouldn’t miss out on that epic session. Back then, surf forecasts were rudimentary at best. Guy started doing surf reports for a couple of radio stations around 1980 and continued on for more than 15 years. During those years he dabbled in triathlons, completing the Kona Ironman twice, as well as the Okinawa Strongman. Long since retired from competition, he now limits his sporting activities to surfing, golfing and one week a year of snowboarding. Guy start-ed in TV in 1997 as the morning weatherman on KHNL. In 2001, he joined KGMB9 and made his debut on a very infamous day - September 11, 2001.

Simon Marshall, PhD is an inter-nationally renowned expert in the psychology of health, resil-ience and coping in high stress environments. He is a former professor of behavioral medicine and public health at the Univer-sity of California San Diego, and team psychologist to the BMC Racing team, a World Tour pro-fessional cycling team. He has published over 100 scientific ar-ticles on the psychology of health and wellbeing and has served as an invited expert for the US National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Kai Lenny is one of the world’s most complete watermen. Be it kiteboarding, windsurfing, stand-up paddle boarding, big wave surfing, or anything else in the water, Kai does it, and does it well. Growing up on the swell-rich northern shore of Maui as the son of ocean enthusiasts, he was surfing by the time he was five and was behind a kite before he was 10. He’s had an impressive lineup of mentors: windsurfing legend Robby Na-ish and big wave veterans Laird Hamilton and Dave Kalama have been some of Kai’s most dynamic teachers. He’s done the grueling 50km Molokai to O‘ahu paddle many times, was a veteran on the Professional Windsurfing Associ-ation World Wave Tour, has been runner-up at the Kite Surf Pro World Championships, and he’s won the SUP world title six times and counting. Yet through it all, he remains modest and humble.
