SUMMARY:Career Meeting I The Hidden Cost of Bad Culture: What It's Really Costing Your Bottom Line
DESCRIPTION:Most organizations don’t have a strategy problem—they have a people problem they can’t see on paper. This session explores the hidden financial impact of workplace culture\, including disengagement\, turnover\, leadership gaps\, and communication breakdowns. While these issues rarely show up as line items on a P&L\, they directly affect productivity\, retention\, and overall business performance. \nThrough real-world examples and practical insights\, this program helps leaders connect culture to measurable outcomes and identify where breakdowns are quietly costing the organization time\, money\, and momentum. Attendees will walk away with a clearer understanding of how to recognize these patterns and practical ways to strengthen accountability\, communication\, and team effectiveness across their organization.\nRodney W. Querry\, CEO and Chief Human Resources Officer\, The Arcue Group\, LLC \n

SUMMARY:Energy SIG: AI’s Economic Impact Starts With Infrastructure: Data Centers\, Power Investment\, and the Macroeconomic Outlook 
DESCRIPTION:While artificial intelligence is often discussed in terms of productivity and jobs\, recent macroeconomic research shows that its near-term economic impact is being driven primarily by capital investment—particularly data centers\, power infrastructure\, and energy-intensive equipment. Drawing on Moody’s AI macroeconomic scenarios\, this session examines how AI is reshaping growth through physical investment\, how rising infrastructure and energy costs can influence inflation and regional competitiveness\, and why energy availability is becoming a critical factor in where AI-driven economic growth ultimately occurs \nSohini Chowdhurry | FRM / Senior Director\, Moody’s Analytics \n  \nLearning Objectives: \nBy the end of this session\, participants will be able to: \n\nExplain how AI’s recent contribution to economic growth is being driven primarily by demand-side channels\, especially business investment and wealth effects\, rather than broad productivity gains to date.\nDescribe the paper’s decomposition of AI-driven growth that includes investment tied to data centers and “electric power construction\,” and why this matters for the near-term macro outlook.\nIdentify why measured GDP can understate AI’s true investment footprint due to accounting/measurement challenges around vertically integrated infrastructure and own-account investment.\nCompare the paper’s scenario framework (baseline and alternatives) and articulate how different AI adoption paths change outcomes for GDP\, inflation\, jobs\, and financial markets.\nAssess how AI-related investment can pressure economy-wide input costs-including energy and construction-related costs-creating potential headwinds for non-AI sectors in downside scenarios.\nTranslate these scenario-based macro outcomes into implications for business planning (capital allocation\, cost of capital\, and risk management) for firms exposed to large-scale infrastructure buildouts.\n\n  \nSCHEDULE \n4:30 – 5:00 p.m. Check-in & Networking \n5:00 – 5:30 p.m. Hors d’oeuvres and Cocktails \n5:30 – 6:30 p.m. Program | 1 CPE in Information Technology \n  \nSTRATEGIC INVESTORS \nUSI \nWhitley Penn \nMoody’s \n  \nREGISTRATION \nRegistration deadline | Friday 4/3/26 \nOpen to FEI Dallas members and non-members with financial or executive roles in the energy sector.

SUMMARY:Before You Roll Your Eyes\, Let's Talk!
DESCRIPTION:Every leader has been there – the eye roll in a meeting\, the sigh across the table\, the silence that speaks louder than words.  These subtle\, nonverbal cues often spark tension\, confusion\, or unnecessary drama.  In this keynote\, learn how to spot and interpret those signals\, why some people are more likely to “take it personally\,” and how communication styles play a role in misunderstandings.  Most importantly\, Heather will share practical strategies to read the room\, keep emotions in check\, and respond with clarity instead of conflict – so teams can strengthen trust\, cut the drama\, and stay focused on results.\nHeather Lisle | Founder-Owner\, The Leadership Lab \nLearning Objectives:  By attending\, you will learn: \n– How to Decode the Silent Signals: Learn how nonverbal cues – eye rolls\, sighs\, crossed arms\, silence – send messages louder than words and how those signals can unintentionally trigger tension\, confusion\, or hurt feelings in the workplace. \n– How to Understand the Root of “Taking It Personally”: Discover how different communications styles are wired to interpret behavior and body language – and why that feels like a personal attack might just be a style mismatch\, not malice. \n– How to Respond\, Don’t React: Build self-awareness and emotional intelligence to stop the drama before it starts.  You’ll walk away with practical tools to read the room\, reset misunderstandings\, and respond with clarity\, not conflict. \nFood and beverages provided by S+H Consulting/S+H Search. \n  \n  \nSCHEDULE \n5:30 – 6:00 p.m. Networking \n6:00 – 7:30 p.m. Program | 1.5 CPEs in Personal Development \n7:30 – 8:00 p.m. Optional Networking \n  \nREGISTRATION \nOpen to FEI members\, and non-members who qualify for FEI membership. \nRegistration deadline | Thursday 1/15/26 \nFEI Members – Register on this page \nNon-FEI members – Please check that you meet FEI membership qualifications before requesting registration.  Pre-approval and pre-registration is required. \nTo request registration\, contact Nancy Ehlers at nancy.ehlers@feidallas.org with the following information by the registration deadline. \nName\nCompany name\nJob title\nAddress\, City\, State\, ZIP\nEmail\nPhone\nMobile phone (if different)\nLinkedIn address \nCPE CREDIT \nInstructional method: Group-Live\nRecommended CPE Credits: 1.5 Credits in Personal Development\nExperience Level: Basic\nPrerequisites/advance preparation: None \nFinancial Executives International is registered with the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) as a sponsor of continuing professional education on the National Registry of CPE Sponsors.
