Shattering Barriers and Transcending Boundaries – Reimagining Leadership in the 21st century

Organizations are dead! Social influencers, change agents and mavens are shattering barriers, transcending boundaries and connecting people globally. They are mobilizing millions to solve business challenges that affect us all by tapping into a fundamental human need - building community. The unknown leaders of today are boldly leading the fourth industrial revolution, outside the confines of institutions and hierarchy. Moreover organizations are not adapting to this shift and the increased need for social, integrative and hybrid skills that underpin this new era. Corporate leaders must not only develop people they must also adapt and evolve their organization or risk extinction. We will learn how every day people without institutional support are challenging our traditional notions of power. Innovating, designing and mobilizing millions to take action by understanding human behavior and social technology is the new organizing principle of the 21st century.

Authentic Leadership: Ripping off the Mask and Stepping into Radical Self Acceptance

Oscar Wilde, the Irish dramatist, once said, “Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.” Occupying a minority status in any society, at any time in human civilization, has always required wearing a proverbial mask to ensure your basic survival, your invisibility was your saving grace. Being authentic does not require that you be an extrovert or that you wear your heart on your sleeve.

It is a way of showing up in the world that is needed now more than ever as technology has made it difficult for people who believe traditional notions of power over others will move the needle. With the ability to record every seemingly mundane moment to on a camera phone to unexpected moments, when you are in authentic, lack integrity and are not in alignment with your deeper and more humane self - people will see through the mask of in-authenticity and will disengage. Stepping into your authentic self requires radical self acceptance.
