The Key to Leadership Success: Self-Awareness and Emotional Intelligence

Research conducted by Harvard University, the Carnegie Foundation, and Stanford Research Center shows that 85% of job success comes from having well-developed people skills, and only 15% of job success comes from technical skills and knowledge. The best thing leaders can do to improve their effectiveness is to become more aware of what motivates them and their decision-making. This presentation will give specific strategies that leaders can implement to improve their emotional intelligence so they can develop more effective relationships, deepen their empathy, more accurately assess their strengths and weaknesses, address little c and big C crises, and cultivate an engaged and productive workforce.

Mindfulness: The Pathway to Greater Productivity, Creativity, and Wellbeing

In today’s fast-paced workplace we can become so focused on the doing that we lose track of the being, and this negatively impacts how we show up and perform at work. Numerous pro athletes, Fortune 100 CEOs, and Silicon Valley billionaires have evangelized how meditation and mindfulness are effective tools for increasing health, amplifying personal performance, and reducing stress. When we are more mindful, we not only feel better – we do better. We develop stronger relationships, unleash greater creativity, and adapt better to change. In this presentation, Kristen will discuss what mindfulness really is (despite how it’s often marketed to us). She also shares key ways individuals can build mindfulness into their personal and professional routines, cultivate resilience, and heighten their self-awareness to enjoy greater success and wellbeing in the workplace.

Own Your Voice and Unlock Your True Potential

While success used to be measured by achieving wealth, respect, and fame, for many business professionals and leaders, meaning, engagement, and authenticity are the new metrics for success. Irrespective of age, title, or rank, people want to feel connected to their companies, to their work, to their communities, and they want to feel safe speaking up for the ideas they are passionate about. In order to cultivate connection, confidence, and self-trust, people need to identify their vision, purpose, values, and drivers as well as their blind spots and the self-limiting beliefs that hold them back. This presentation will outline a clear pathway that employees, managers, leaders, and HR professionals can take to show up more authentically, experience greater fulfillment in their work and lives, and, as appropriate, show others how to do the same.
