The ‘And’ Life: Create a Powerful Career and Extraordinary Personal Life

Executive teams consisting of both men and women are more likely to have above-average profitability, yet women continue to leave the workforce at higher rates than men. And still, more women are considering leaving the workplace or downshifting their careers, equating to as many as 2 million women who could leave corporate America. With female leaders leaving, we are stalling organizational profits and overall economic growth!

Attendees will be able to immediately implement proven strategies to:
1. Assess their current circumstances and discover where immediate transformation is needed.
2. Design their life to cultivate resilience and circumvent burnout in the workplace.
3. Reclaim their power to meet the demands of an elite performer inside and outside the office.

The 5-Star Leader: Become the Manager Who Leaves a Legacy

Did you know that 38% of new leaders outright fail in the first 18 months? It’s no surprise when research shows that most companies do not train their managers until an average of 9 years after they’ve been promoted. Yet Gallup states that 70% of the variance in team engagement is determined solely by the manager. Leadership development is essential, not only for the manager’s success, but because it’s the key to engaging and retaining top-talent.

Attendees will be able to immediately implement proven strategies to:
1. Make the surprising connection between humanity and influence to enhance employee engagement.
2. Learn the universal need that’s required to create an inclusive and thriving culture.
3. Discover the secret to inspiring others to improve productivity and effectiveness.

The Acceleration Trifecta: Reframing the Advancement of Women in Leadership

Organizations with executive teams consisting of both men and women are more likely to have above-average profitability, yet with a record number of women left the workforce in the recent several months we’re stalling that growth. If organizations are serious about increasing profits while strengthening their DE&I outcomes, now is the time to retain the next generation of female leaders. In this session, you’ll discover the three actions organizations can take to reframe and accelerate the advancement of women in leadership.

Key Takeaways:
1. Establish a protocol to identify the root causes of attrition across the leadership bench.
2. Discover the universal need among emerging leaders in order to be considered for promotion.
3. Examine the current programs to enhance for maximum engagement and effectiveness.
