2 min to read


LAS VEGAS — Organizers of the upcoming Agent Summit have announced that world-renowned self-discipline expert Rory Vaden will deliver the motivational keynote address at this year’s event, which is scheduled for May 20–23, 2018, at the Venetian & Palazzo Resort Hotel Casinos in Las Vegas. His appearance is sponsored by EasyCare and GWC Warranty.


“Our objective each year is to bring someone who will deliver outstanding thought value to the agents and other providers who attend the Agent Summit,” said Larry Dorfman, chairman and CEO of APCO Holdings, the parent company of EasyCare and GWC. “Rory Vaden will do that and more. His unique approach to self-discipline and very specific sales training processes will work for anyone who wants to improve their business, and his entertaining and direct way of delivering his information will have everyone wanting more when he’s done.”

Vaden is the founder of the Center for the Study of Self-Discipline (CSSD), co-founder of a multimillion-dollar global training company, and an award-winning entrepreneur. His first book, “Take the Stairs,” reached No. 1 on The Wall Street Journal’s bestseller list. He has shared his insights on overcoming procrastination and enhancing productivity with viewers of Fox News’ Fox and Friends, CNN and Oprah Radio, and he has been featured in such publications as Forbes, Fast Company and Success.


“Without supreme self-discipline, your career in the agency segment will invariably be marked by a failure to reach your full potential,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of Agent Entrepreneur and F&I and Showroom magazines. “We could not have asked for a better-known and -respected expert than Rory Vaden, and we can’t wait to welcome him to the Agent Summit stage.”
