A Look into the BOLD Summit Agenda: Day 1
BOLD Summit Day 1: External Alignment for Growth
Wondering just what it is you’ll be learning at the BOLD Summit this year? Look no further! Here is a rundown of some of the topics we’ll be covering during the most intense two days of business development you’ve ever seen. Your time is valuable so it has to be high impact!
After an introduction by Julia Molloy, the owner of the BOLD Summit, we’ll start the day with our first BOLD Master, Kelly Hoppen MBE. In a Q&A session with Julia, Kelly will tell us all about the keys to her success and how she grew her business into an international powerhouse.
Next on the list is the founder of the Business of Design Summit, David Shepherd with his hands-on Action Map workshop. David has developed a process that helps the small business owner to clarify goals, focus strategy, and then identify the few critical learning and growth objectives that will effectively achieve those goals. It is progress on the learning and growth objectives that need to be measured, not accounting data. (Yes, he’ll be declaring “the end of accounting!”)
Kim Kuhteubl’s presentation “Tiny Tribe, Big Influence” is going to walk you through the process of identifying your most authentic message and develop a strategy for visibility and branding that will attract more of your ideal clients, make your brand more attractive to the media and align with the lifestyle you are striving for.
After lunch, sit down with our second BOLD Master, Joan Behnke, called “The Billionaire Whisperer” by Forbes magazine. Joan will share the decisions and techniques that have helped her build her business. Later in the day you’ll be able to join her for an intimate roundtable discussion — but sign up now, because Joan’s group is filling up fast!
Following this Q&A session, we will be presenting two panels that will provide all the information you need to get your work published. The first, “Think Like an Editor”, will be moderated by PR professional Barbara Pressman and feature editors from several prestigious interior design magazines. Afterwards, join renowned photographers Laura Hull and Victoria Pearson for “Photos and Points of View” where they will discuss exactly how photographing your work affects your likelihood of being published.
After a snack and sponsor showcase, we’ll head into our first roundtable sessions and portfolio reviews with the aforementioned editors. We’ll end the day with the presentation of our BOLD Masters awards. If you haven’t already signed up for our exclusive BOLD Masters Dinner at the Piazza de Liberace, now is the time to do it! There are only six slots left for this amazing, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
BOLD Master Joan Behnke, the Billionaire Whisperer
In 2013, Forbes Magazine called Joan Behnke the “Billionaire Whisperer.” Her first projects as a designer included the estates of royalty: the palatial homes of the Saudi royal family. Joan started her own firm in 1999 and now it has grown to international acclaim with projects from coast to coast in the United States and all over the world. She is well-known not only for the 20,000+ square feet homes she works on but also for working intimately with her clients to transform the spaces they inhabit into a profound opportunity for self-expression.
Joan approaches her projects with an eye toward one-of-a-kind finds, whether that means collaborating with craftspeople on custom furnishings or sourcing antiques worldwide. When she was interviewed by Robb Report, Joan said that one of her greatest strengths as a designer was balance. “I know when to use restraint, which can sometimes mean advising a client not to put five TVs in the master bath.”
Thomas Barrack, billionaire real estate investor and longtime client of Joan sang her praises to Forbes. “I don’t view her as a decorator; she is a cultural scientist. She will research little, narrow, unknown tunnels of history on a particular project and then start drilling down. She doesn’t just do research of the period; she has contacts all over the world who help her maneuver through identifying objects and materials.”

BOLD Master’s Dinner at Liberace’s House!
This year, we will be hosting the BOLD Master’s Dinner at the Piazza de Liberace!
The owners of Liberace’s house in Palm Springs have graciously opened their home to us for dinner after the BOLD Masters Award Ceremony, Thursday June 25th. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore the beautiful home that was remodeled by Christopher Kennedy in 2010.
After the first day of the Summit, you will be given time to relax and refresh before being whisked away in a limousine provided by BOLD. Once you arrive, you can mingle with the BOLD Masters and Speakers during an elegant cocktail party perfect for socializing and expanding your industry connections. This will be followed by an intimate dinner on the magnificent Liberace property. Kelly Hoppen, Martyn Lawrence Bullard, Joan Behnke, Keith Granet, editors from Interiors Magazine, Traditional Home and Robb Report will be in attendance as well as many more.
We are capping attendance at just twelve attendees so call us now at (503) 208-2757 to reserve your spot at this exclusive event! This is a very special fundraising event. These twelve places are available at $1,000 each and are reserved for principals only. Let us know if you are interested in this up-leveled BOLD experience.
The BOLD Master’s dinner is sponsored by Interiors Magazine. A portion of the proceeds will go to benefit Modernism Week, providing scholarships to local students pursuing college educations in the fields of architecture and design, as well as supporting local and state preservation organizations in their efforts to preserve modernist architecture throughout the state of California.
An In-Depth Look at This Year’s BOLD Masters!
In an informal interview with BOLD Speaker Kim Kuhteubl, Julia Molloy tells us all about our BOLD Masters for 2015: Kelly Hoppen, Martyn Lawrence Bullard, and Joan Behnke!
Passion. Purpose. Positive Expectation.
Believing in negative thoughts is the single greatest obstruction to success. Sometimes those thoughts can become overwhelming; it can be hard to see through the worry and fear and take the necessary steps to move forward. That’s why we are here to help you!
At the BOLD Summit, we connect you with the leading industry experts who have already confronted these doubts and overcome! They know how to do it and do it well and they are here to show you the way. Kelly Hoppen, Martyn Lawrence Bullard, and Joan Behnke are three Masters of interior design and at BOLD 2015 you will get the opportunity to hear their stories, ask them questions, and learn what you need to know to succeed.
You will leave the BOLD Summit not only with the tools but with the knowledge that it is possible and and it’s possible for you!
