WE WELCOME SEAN FLAHerty to Brisbane!

Sean has been recognized as a top speaker at Vistage in the US every year since being named the New Speaker of the Year in 2019 and has won many, many other awards for his work. Since then, he has had many testimonials from the Vistage community, a few shown below:

George Jansen | Vistage Chair | September 20th, 2024
Sean held a mirror to my members which helped them think about things like their openness to feedback, accountability, their relationships with customers and colleagues and SO much more. And members left with action steps they can apply, immediately.

Randy Miller | Vistage Chair | January 19th, 2024
It was extremely applicable and actionable. One of my members, a doctor, is very stoic, and we were able to have a very meaningful discussion about how he came across to his staff. He believed his approach had little effect on them even though his retention was poor. We were able to convince him using your model that even though he was a very caring person, he wasn't being received that way.

Kary Weigel | Vistage Chair | September 26th, 2023
Sean made an impact on all of us. I have many members that have seen over 100 presentations from Vistage speakers over the past decade and Sean is a favorite. His frameworks are simple and powerful. Members felt like they could easily take his frameworks back to their teams and implement the ideas confidently.

Scott Gibbs | Vistage Chair | May 8, 2023
If you haven't heard or seen Sean speak, I highly recommend it. I have seen him speak at least 5 different times in the last 3 years, and every time, I learn something new. His understanding of human behaviour and how it applies to leadership, sales, marketing, customer engagement, and employee engagement is world-class. This shouldn't be a surprise because he has studied many world-class thinkers and incorporated their data into his unique and compelling Momentum Framework.

Steven Bohn | Vistage Member - Niagara Scenic Tours | February 16, 2023
Sean is a heavy hitter, and listening to him connect the dots and loose ends was truly an "ah ha" moment for me. I've been working on a lot of the concepts he presents on, and he's saved me YEARS of effort by putting the pieces together. He's given me the opportunity to reach a higher level than I could've on my own.

Marc Perilloux | Vistage Member - O'Donnell/Snider Construction | February 8, 2023
As a Vistage speaker, Sean was exceptional. My only regret is the session could have been an entire semester in an MBA or Exec Leadership program. It’s a deep subject that moves the needle on business while also giving purpose and fulfillment to the team doing the business. It helps explain “the why” exceptionally well.

SEAN’s Background

Sean started innovating with software products at 11 years old on his 8-Bit Commodore Vic-20 in the 1980’s and he never stopped. He studied aviation electronics working on F-14 Tomcats in the Navy, molecular genetics at the University of Rochester, and earned an MBA from the Simon School of Business in 2006.

Most of his experience, however, has come from over two decades of working in the trenches with his clients building innovative software products that move, touch, and inspire the world. He is most fortunate to have the privilege of leading the team that is ITX. ITX has built a passionate group of inspired technologists and artists that produce magic every day for their clients.

Sean teaches MBA candidates at the William E. Simon School of Business and speaks to leadership teams around the world on the intersection of innovation, culture, and empathy. He has developed and organized “The Momentum Framework,” a set of contextual models that demonstrate the patterns, context, and language of successful leadership.

His work has led to him earning recognition and accolades such as the 2019 Vistage “New Speaker of the Year” and the 2019 Trust Across America “Top Thought Leader in Trust” awards among many others.

Sean has also many outside interests:

>> Is the father of FOUR amazing adult children. 
>> He leaped out of airplanes when he served in the US Navy.
>> He has served barrel-aged craft cocktails around the world from his Nefarious company,
>> He has been recognized as a leading authority on antique jewelry.

Recently, he crossed the Andes in Ecuador and Peru and navigated over a volcano in Iceland. All on motorcycles.
