Speaking Topics & Workshops
Accountability
As organizations face increasing pressure to perform, the word “accountability” gets mentioned more and more. But as much as we would like to “hold others accountable,” the reality is that accountability is an internal process. The best we can do to is deliver on our own obligations and encourage others to do the same.
Leading Change/Change Has Changed
As a leader, managing change is nothing new. So, why does it feel so much harder now? Because change has changed. It’s no longer an event to prepare for, but a constant reality to cope with. While you can’t stop the tsunami of change, as a leader, you have more power than you think to create calm within the storm.
The Good Fight
For your organization to get ahead and stay ahead you need to make tough calls, face hard choices, and work through conflict. But productive conflict is still rare. Why? Because productive conflict is about more than the right skill set. It requires the right mindset and the right processes, neither of which come naturally.
Hybrid Teams
Strategies to Enable Team Success. Helping teams overcome the challenges of Hybrid Work and build a culture that enables greater performance, connection and collaboration.
Staying Out of the Weeds
Although we’ve made huge strides in technology and enabling systems, our productivity isn’t skyrocketing as you might expect. What’s going on? In most cases, it’s not a matter of deadwood, but instead, dead work. Even the most talented teams are drowning in tasks that add little value while consuming huge time and energy.
