In school, we worked in teams but never learned how to work within those teams. Our instructors gave us stress, but they never taught us how to handle and manage our stress. You see, most of these life skills do not get taught in school or the workplace, for that matter. In today’s day and age, soft skills are just as, if not more, important than hard skills. Being aware of your emotions and those of others is crucial.

Leading with emotional intelligence is a skill that you can learn, and this keynote will start you off with the basics.

As a leader, growing new talent, continuing to develop others, and sparking a renewed sense of purpose in your seasoned professionals, is a great opportunity and responsibility. You need to do it well. Coaching in the workplace is one of the many practices leaders need to learn to provide support to their teams.

This keynote will teach you the steps and skills required to start to have meaningful coaching conversations in the workplace.

Speaking to someone the same way you wish they talked to you is not always the best practice when it comes to communication. This practice assumes everyone shares the same communication style as you do. In reality, we each engage different communication patterns and display preferences when speaking to one another.

In this keynote, you will discover what your communication style is and how to communicate with impact. Also, you will learn how to flex your communication style successfully with others.

Most employees are satisfied with their jobs, but are they engaged? All organizations want actively engaged employees because they are enthusiastic about their work and confident they can achieve excellence.

In this keynote, you will discover the traits that leaders need to engage their teams. You will walk away with skills to develop deep and meaningful relationships with your staff. Resulting in employees who are committed to doing their best work for the organization.

Research suggests when people align their strengths with their goals, they are much more likely to achieve them. Furthermore, when people realize their goals, they tend to be happier and more fulfilled with the result.

Do you know your leadership strengths? Do you know how to use these strengths to drive and influence your employees? Are you using them to your maximum advantage?

In this keynote, discover how to use your sources of influence to seize opportunities and become an extraordinary leader.

Think about all the people that you come into contact with throughout your career: colleagues, board members, volunteers, donors, clients, the general public, and so on. With this vast network of people connected to your organization, learning how to work well together is vital.
