Self-deception affects everyone. It’s like being stuck in a box–despite our best intentions. Often, we have a biased view of problems, are blind to their underlying causes and our roles in them. This blindness erodes our effectiveness and happiness levels in work and life, and can spread like a virus to infect everyone around us.

In this session, we’ll explain “the boxes” in which we get stuck and how we carry them with us into situations, and how to free ourselves to see new possibilities and solutions. Come ready to think about how you think!

What is the cost (emotional and financially) of your mindset, and that of others, on your organization?

This session will dive deep into the way that our mindset affects our peers, direct reports, supervisors, and customers. We'll talk about the “collusions” we collectively create in our organization that demolish communication, progress, relationships and results. We'll also discuss a proven strategy to rebuild these relationships while simultaneously breaking down our corporate silos.

Have you ever worked for a leader that withholds important information far too long? What about a leader that seems to change their mind from day to day? Perhaps you know leaders that are fully aware of corporate problems but do nothing about them. Then again, you may know a leader that is engaged, energetic, and empowering. Leadership styles differ but can be categorized into six different types.

This session will teach you how to identify those types of leaders and recognize the kind of followers they produce. We’ll discuss ways to determine which type of leader you are and how each type can grow, become better, and influence positive change in their organization.

Is allegiance to the status quo paralyzing your organization? Are you tired of settling for compliance? Do you crave committed and needed change?

This session will illuminate the hidden human drivers of resistance and how to neutralize them in order to mobilize people. In this session, attendees will learn about proven, practical tools to influence change in individuals and across organizations. Participants will come to fully understand that to effectively influence others to change we must let ourselves be changed…and that one of the best ways to change ourselves is to truly focus on others’ needs, challenges, and objectives. By the end of this session, participants will have been introduced to tools that will help them change their own perspectives and then invite others to change in ways that reduce resistance and inspire commitment rather than compliance.

The enneagram is a personality typing system that describes patterns on how people interpret the world and manage their emotions. Like many other typing systems, the enneagram is taking off in the “business self-help” world as an effective leadership tool.

This session will dive into what the enneagram is, what enneagram type you are, understanding the enneagram types of others, and how you can use your type to effectively manage others into a growth mindset while leading them away from stress.
