The Power of Peers

Meeting the challenges of the future will require vertical and horizontal leadership. Explore the power of peers in your workplace and discover how to build happier and more productive teams.

The Courage to Ask for Help

Successful people ask for help. We challenge the misconception that seeking help is a sign of weakness. Instead, it as an act of resourcefulness, enabling individuals to leverage their unique strengths while benefiting from others.

What Makes Great Teams Consistently Great

We explore the practices of exceptional teams, emphasizing that achieving team excellence results from a commitment to learning, growing, and shedding our self-limiting beliefs.

Accountability as Personal Responsibility

We turn accountability on its head, so that your team members understand that the power of we begins with each of them.

The Power of Celebration

Keeping your eye on the prize is fine for short-term projects, but it’s a bad idea for initiatives that require a longer-term commitment. Find out how celebrating small wins will help you achieve the big wins far more often.

Maximizing the Value of Your Conference Experience

Imagine your next conference featuring a keynote that has nothing to do with your core content yet everything to do with the reason people attend - to learn, connect, and grow. It's a great way to set the tone for any conference!
