Speaking Topics:
- Leading Yourself to Sustainable Success: Personal Leadership is the foundation of effectively leading others. Becoming a lifelong leader requires a mindset of being a leader as opposed to doing leadership.
- Effective Communications: Communications is the biggest issue in business today. Learning the art of effective speaking listening and non-verbal communications helps leaders manage change and conflict more effectively.
- Priority Management: It’s not about time management, it’s about priority management in being able to focus on what is really important to the success of the business while blocking out that which does not.
- Being an Adaptable Leader: Given that change is constant, the ability of leaders to embrace an adaptable mindset is crucial to sustainable success even when it bumps against our natural tendency to embrace the status quo instead.
- Diversity, Equity and Inclusion: Diversity is the means to the Inclusion end result for any organizational culture, regardless of whether along the lines of age, sex, race or all of the above, but getting there is the opportunity to achieve sustainable success.
