Vince Lombardi
Jr.
|
As the
son of the late Vincent T. Lombardi, remembered as one of the greatest
football coaches in history, Vince's early years were spent in an atmosphere
full of personal power and achievement.
Armed with honesty, integrity and authenticity, virtues he places above
all others, Vince earned a law degree and maintained a private practice
while serving in the Minnesota legislature.
Vince made the jump from law and politics to professional football in
1975 when he joined the fledging Seattle Seahawks as an assistant to
the General Manager. He went on to become Assistant Executive Director
of the National Football League Management Council as a labor negotiator
and later led two United States Football League teams as President and
General Manager.
To each of these organizations Vince brought direction, enthusiasm,
and the impetus to succeed. He has the remarkable ability to put people
ahead of the organization, allowing each individual to do what he does
best without losing sight of team goals. He gained a reputation for
being tough, yet fair; uncompromising, yet supportive. The individual
qualities and character of Vince Lombardi are exciting to witness.
It is an emotional uplift to watch and listen to Vince Lombardi as he
weaves together his childhood experiences with his father and his adult
experiences from law, politics and professional football.
Vince Lombardi's enthusiasm for growth, change and improved performance,
blended with his strong personality and first-hand knowledge of his
legendary father's leadership techniques makes for a dynamic presentation.

Dr. Peter Fay
|
After
graduating from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine
in 1981 I completed a one year General Practice Residency at Mt. Sinai
Medical Center in Miami Beach, Florida. I then spent two years obtaining
my Prosthodontics specialty certification at the Veterans Administration
Hospital in Houston, Texas, the University of Texas at Houston Dental
Branch, and the MD Anderson Hospital and Tumor Clinic. After finishing
in 1984 I moved to Maui and began private practice. Currently, I am
a visiting faculty member at the Pankey Institute and a speaker &
coach with the Growth Into Greatness Dental Practice Management Company.
I am also co-Director of the Maui Postgraduate Dental Forum - our local
Seattle Study Club.
When I
moved to Maui I joined a one year old practice as an associate and over
the next 5 years helped create an extremely busy, high volume, insurance
dependent, advertising practice open evenings and Saturdays. Shortly
after putting my money down and becoming a partner I realized that this
was not the way I wanted to practice for the rest of my career. My "school
of hard knocks" experiences encountered while transforming that
practice into a low volume, insurance independent, referral based, comprehensive
care practice (along with thousands of hours of clinical and practice
management CE) have provided much of the content of this program.
