CISCA Summit 2024 Keynote Speaker Announced: Merit Kahn

Kahn’s topic is “Open Minds, Open Doors: Lessons from the Unexpected Stage of Life”

February 14, 2024

Imagine a stage where life’s unpredictability unfolds, often with a delightful twist of humor and a touch of heartwarming insight. Join Merit Kahn, CSP, as she brings anecdotes from her acclaimed theater show, “Who Chiseled That?” to the CISCA Summit with laughter to pull together the ideas you are taking back to your teams.

Entrepreneurs and business leaders, like actors on a stage, often find themselves in unrehearsed scenarios, needing to improvise and innovate. Through Kahn’s captivating tales, discover how an open mind can lead to open doors, creating opportunities where none seemed to exist.

Prepare for a keynote that’s as entertaining as it is enlightening and engaging, reminding us of all the endless possibilities that await when we embrace life with an open heart and an open mind.

Kahn is the CEO of SELLect Sales Development, author of “Myth Shift: Challenging the Truths That Sabotage Success” and co-host of The Smarter Sales Show podcast. She is a Certified Emotional Intelligence Coach and a Certified Speaking Professional, the highest designation in The National Speakers Association, one held by less than 12 percent of professional speakers worldwide. Since 1998, Kahn has worked with salespeople, entrepreneurs, professionals and sales teams teaching them how to stop selling and start getting SELLected by their ideal clients. In her spare time, she is a stand-up comedian who wrote and is currently touring her one-woman, inspiring comedy show, “Who Chiseled That? The Story of a Life Unscripted, Unstoppable and Unexpectedly Funny.” She’s also a Peloton addict and a former Gerber baby model.

Kahn will also be the MC for the Summit events.
