Florida Pitch Tank
How To Win Buy-In From The C-Suite
Live at the 2025 Leadership Conference—pitch your boldest safety, health, or sustainability initiative to a panel of C-suite leaders, including Shark Tank’s Daymond John and investor Matt Higgins.
The Florida Pitch Tank is not about selling a product—it’s about selling a vision.
Whether you’re advocating for a new safety protocol, mental health program, or environmental initiative, one of the hardest parts of your job is getting executive leadership to say yes—especially when the ROI isn’t immediate.
This high-energy, live event at the 2025 Leadership Conference on Safety, Health & Sustainability is your opportunity to learn how to do just that.
Selected finalists will take the stage to pitch their real-world workplace initiatives to:
-
Daymond John, Star of Shark Tank
-
Matt Higgins, Entrepreneur, Investor & Author of Burn the Boats
-
A panel of CEOs, CFOs, and C-suite leaders
They’ll receive real-time coaching and feedback on how to build a compelling business case, gain organizational support, and drive innovation that matters.
Not pitching? No problem.
Every attendee will gain rare insights into how executive leaders think—what influences their decisions, what questions they ask, and how ideas gain traction in the boardroom.
