Personal Details

Bio

Fulcrum is the best word for the role Dr. Nate Regier plays as a conference keynote speaker/presenter. He literally sets the tone for an entire event or conference. Regardless of whether he’s keynoting or facilitating, Dr. Regier threads the needle of a conference. The son of missionary parents who brought tribal leaders and tribes together in Zaire and Botswana, he was recognized early in his professional career by Dr. Taibi Kahler, founder of Kahler Communications International, for his gifts as a communicator and ability to bring divergent voices and attitudes together.

Nate Regier, PhD is CEO and Co-Founding owner of Next Element, a global leadership advisory firm specializing in building cultures of compassionate accountability. He is an expert in social-emotional intelligence and leadership, positive conflict, neuropsychology, group dynamics, interpersonal and leadership communication, executive assessment and coaching, organizational development, culture change and team development.

As an international advisor, he is a certified LOD® master trainer, PCM® certifying master trainer and co-developer of Next Element’s Leading Out of Drama® training and coaching system. He is co-author of Beyond Drama: Transcending Energy Vampires, and in 2016 published his new book, Conflict Without Casualties: A Leader's Field Guide to Compassionate Accountability, which will be published by Berrett-Koehler in 2017.

Dr. Regier has a PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Kansas, practiced clinical psychology for 11 years before helping found Next Element.

Dr. Regier grew up the son of missionary parents in Africa, is an avid competition barbeque-er, and spends as much of his free time as possible with his wife and three daughters who all play volleyball.

Testimonials:

“Dr. Regier—‘Nate,’ he would have you call him—is a powerhouse. He sets the inspirational tone for hundreds or thousands by bringing Next Element philosophies and vision to bear on your event. He gives every participant a lens through which to see and an unparalleled set of tools to use to participate. The icing on the cake, you get to take his insights home and use them in life and work.”

“Charismatic. Passionate. Transparent. Boyish. More articulate in the moment than anyone I’ve met or heard.”

“Phenomenal storyteller. He understands that people learn best through anecdotes.”

“You could actually see facial expressions and body language change and relax as the information took hold. Nate’s presentation/communication skills are second to none—energetic, polished, interactive, confident and entertaining.”

Conflict Without Casualties

Based on his recently published book, Conflict Without Casualties: A Field Guide For Leading With Compassionate Accountability, Regier uses heartwarming personal stories, powerful client case studies and masterful interactions with the audience to show how conflict can be used as a creative force in all areas of life.

Leadership At The Brink: The Power of Positive Conflict

Learn how to apply Next Element's Compassion Cycle of openness, resourcefulness, and persistence to your organization, so you can be perpetually moving, searching, effective, and adaptive instead of risking extinction by doing the same things over and over, expecting different results.

Leading Change With Compassionate Accountability

Change is stressful and often includes plenty of drama. What is the secret for balancing compassion and accountability during change? Learn the three top change-inhibiting behaviors, the three leading indicators of drama, and the three leadership competencies for leading change. Learn strategies for successfully leading self and others through difficult transitions.

Authentic Leadership And Emotional Intelligence

Emotional motives can be strong drivers of conflict, and are also powerful sources of authenticity. Benefit from Dr. Regier’s expertise in leadership and the psychology of communication and conflict to learn about the six core emotional drivers of authenticity, their associated coping behaviors, and how leaders can negotiate these emotions through change, conflict, and personal crisis.

Personality Diversity and Discrimination

Personality impacts how a person prefers to be led to how they are motivated and behave in distress. Dr. Regier will expose the largely unrecognized impact of personality discrimination. Learn about the personality types most likely to succeed, most likely to get marginalize, and what employers can do to leverage the gifts of all personalities in the workplace.

The Positives Behind Negative Attention

In this entertaining and insightful seminar, Dr. Regier shares research showing that at the root of most negative distress behavior are unmet positive psychological needs. Learn about the six personality types in the workplace, their negative attention behaviors, and positive needs behind each one. Discover strategies you can apply to meet positive needs and reduce negative behavior.
