The 1% Better Conference is a community built around small, consistent improvements that lead to meaningful change.

We believe growth happens best when people learn together, reflect honestly, and take action.

đŸŸ Hi, friends! It’s Nala here. đŸ¶

I’ve been listening to my humans talk (usually while I am in the middle of my important nap time!) about the 1% Better Conference for months now, and apparently something important is happening with the Omaha conference


⏰ Early Bird pricing ends June 30!

That means you can register now for just $250 before the price goes up.

From what I’ve overheard, there will be inspiring speakers, meaningful conversations, new friendships, and plenty of opportunities to become 1% better. (Unfortunately, I haven’t been invited to speak about the importance of belly rubs and treats
yet.)

Don’t wait until the last minute - grab your spot before June 30 and save!

đŸŸ See you there (or at least hear all about it when my humans get home)! đŸŸ

Hello humans - Spot here.

I spend most of my days supervising my humans while they talk about things like resilience, kindness, mental health, personal growth, and how to make the world a little better.

Honestly, it sounds exhausting.

As a cat, my strategy is simple:
✔ Take naps
✔ Demand snacks
✔ Knock things off counters
✔ Judge everyone equally

But if you’re one of those humans who actually wants to grow, then you should probably register for the 1% Better Conference.

That way my humans can stop practicing their presentations on me and I suppose you will become a better human, since that seems to be important or something.

Register today. I need a nap. Gotta go, I see one of the humans is coming.

SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT FOR OMAHA!

We’re excited to welcome Joe Runge to the 1% Better Conference!

As an intellectual property attorney, Joe spends his days helping people protect their ideas. But in his session, “Stop Trying to Innovate,” he’ll challenge one of the biggest myths about breakthroughs and success.

💡 You’ve never innovated your way to a breakthrough. You’ve curiosity’d your way there - you just didn’t know it.

In this interactive 45-minute workshop, Joe will demonstrate how curiosity, not innovation, is the true catalyst for discovering new ideas, solving problems, and creating meaningful change.

If you’ve ever felt stuck waiting for your next big idea, this session may completely change the way you think about creativity, growth, and innovation.

Join us August 22–23 in Omaha and discover why being curious might be the most powerful skill you can develop.

OMAHA SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT: Dr. Brad Corr

As a physical therapist, Brad has a deep passion for motor development across the lifespan, Brad is particularly interested in how movement influences overall health. He believes that a comprehensive understanding of human development is critical in addressing diverse health needs - whether working with an infant with torticollis, a young athlete fine-tuning their skills, a middle-aged adult struggling with chronic pain, or an older adult concerned about balance and fall risk. His work is driven by a commitment to critical thinking and creative problem-solving, tailoring physical therapy interventions to help each patient achieve the best possible outcomes.

We are excited to have him present "Move Better, Feel Better" on Saturday at the Omaha conference!

Sometimes the most meaningful growth happens when people realize they’re not alone. That’s why conference founder David Gillis created the 1% Better Conference - to bring people together in a real, honest, encouraging environment where stories can be shared, connections can be built, and people can leave feeling inspired to take even one small step forward.

In a world that often feels disconnected, this conference was designed to create community, spark meaningful conversations, and remind people that growth doesn’t happen all at once, it happens 1% at a time.

Michael Smerconish (CNN) recently pointed out that mental health conversations often seem to happen only after someone does something wrong, has a breakdown, or becomes part of a tragedy.

Why don’t we talk about mental health just as openly when people are succeeding, healing, growing, and managing life well? Such as Ted Turner who openly acknowledged his mental health struggles.

Mental health affects all of us, yet it still feels taboo for so many people.

We intentionally keep the 1% Better Conference small so people can truly connect, build relationships, and feel comfortable sharing their stories and struggles in a supportive environment. Our goal is to create a space where people feel seen, heard, and encouraged - not lost in a crowd.

A lot of people ask Dena, the conference founder’s wife, what her opinion is of his conference. She fully admits that she was a skeptic at first. The question is “why?”.
