Topics, Sessions And Talks
Relationships are the key to success for every leader. And results reflect the reservoir of goodwill you have with your team, colleagues and customers. Ask yourself this question openly and honestly — How do the people around you feel about you? The Answer will determine how successful you are. And, you can only be successful if you understand how human connection helps you achieve objectives. This keynote will explain and analyze 10 ways that leaders today can build rich relationships to drive sustained results: — Self-Awareness — be willing to admit mistakes; own your actions; accept feedback gracefully — Heart Skills — authenticity, generosity, appreciation, and inclusion — Transparency — honesty, vulnerability and trust — Listening — hear everyone who has a voice; be a first-class noticer; observe
There is a clear need for a new style and approach to business leadership, one that places primacy on how our actions and our leadership are making other people feel.
It feels like America is in a vulnerable place today. Regardless of race, income, age, gender or geographic location, many Americans feel that some of our biggest problems aren’t being addressed and our political system isn’t working. We see similar frustrations in our companies, where workers are disengaged and management is struggling to retain its best employees. The results are also profound in families, where divorce, addiction and social isolation have taken their toll.
Leadership is undergoing a radical transformation in the 21st century, challenging C-Level executives and managers with unprecedented changes in technology, demographics, and the global economy. Adapting to these shifts requires a breakthrough approach that inspires people, builds community, and establishes trust. The successful new leader must integrate both hard and soft traits. In this keynote, attendees will learn from Betsy Myers about the six key trends disrupting organizations: a new leadership model integrating head and heart, a leadership profile based on authenticity, a work model focusing on purpose, and the empowerment of women and millennials.
