Hero Habits: How to Overcome Burnout, Metabolize Stress and Design a Winnable Game

Our world is changing rapidly and many of us are struggling to keep pace, but the rate of change will only continue to increase. According to IBM, 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created each day and 90% of the world’s data has been created in the last two years. A feeling of frustration, stress and overwhelm is leading to burnout, health & family challenges and an overall lack of happiness. So what can you do to shift from merely surviving to THRIVING both personally and professionally?

Join us on a journey to discover the tools, skills and strategies to unleash your inner hero! Michael will inspire you to:

-‘Design a Winnable Game’ for yourself, team and organization
-‘Assume Positive Intent’ in the face of pressure, change and deadlines
-Learn practical tools to metabolize stress, ’Choose Happiness’ and transform your team/work environment from Surviving to Thriving

Give your audience a break from a boring leadership speaker and inspire them to BE THE HERO!

From Surviving to Thriving: How to Enable a Culture that Drives Sustainable Business Results

The rate of change is quicker than ever before, whether your implementing a new strategy, integrating a recent acquisition or another change. Change requires people to act differently and they typically respond in one of three ways: AMBASSADORS of the Change, RESISTORS of the Change or ON THE FENCE'ers.

Michael will reveal the four essential elements to create a sustainable culture that drives business results. His case study will show how a leading insurance company transitioned from surviving to thriving. We will discuss why senior leader alignment is required for sustainable culture change, how employees can be the change agents who drive change and why a strategy change requires a simultaneous top-down & bottom-up approach.
Attendees will learn how to:
¥ Align leadership with the culture and business strategy
¥ Clarify the vision, guard rails and success metrics
¥ Engage culture teams, change ambassadors and employees
¥ Sustain the momentum by creating feedback mechanism
