Reaching Your Next Summit: 5 Vertical Lessons to Lead in the Unknown, Regardless of Your Title

Professionals often struggle to deliver more value under tightening business constraints and rising expectations. Add the complications of regulations, engaging a multi-generational work force, constantly evolving technology, economic pressure, plus the chaos of day to day life; and you have a serious challenge. Oh, and not to mention the challenge of surviving a global pandemic!

After facing the same frustrations from the front lines to the executive level for more than 20 years; I believe the answer is in equipping individuals at all levels to think, act and influence as leaders in their environment. My Reaching Your Next Summit keynote can be the catalyst for this change. You’ll: 

• Gain 5 leadership strategies that will empower every attendee to stretch their comfort zones and Lead Beyond Their Position
• Drive innovation by encouraging individuals to step up, support others, and say what they see
• Identify Critical characteristics you need to look for, develop and demand from yourself and every team member to achieve breakthrough results
• Engage, Equip, and Inspire attendees with multiple ideas they can use immediately to develop stronger relationships and increase their influence across vertical and horizontal boundaries

Attendees will gain tools they can use immediately to develop a leadership mindset that engages, equips and inspires both them and their team members to step up and lead regardless of their title. Expect team members to build relationships and serve beyond vertical and horizontal boundaries in their environment. Collaboration is just the beginning. With more accountability and
increased commitment in the 80%, you will see results you can measure.

How to build intentional cultures that power your strategy and accelerate performance.

The Culture Equation strategy in this keynote demystifies the ‘woo’ of culture and demonstrates how to create an intentional culture to realize sustainable profitability and excellence.

THIS PROGRAM IS PERFECT FOR ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERS WHO:

• Are looking to get more out of their team, but unsure on how to create a renewed culture.
• Have been operating in an ‘accidental’ culture rather than an intentionally crafted one that powers tier strategy and performance.
• Want a step-by-step process to build intentional cultures to achieve business goals.

THE AUDIENCE WILL LEAVE WITH:

• An inspired perspective that managing and championing culture transformation is entirely possible and even simple.
• Steps to cultivate an intentional culture that powers your business strategy and accelerates performance.
• The roadmap, education, and motivation to take the first step to be becoming a champion of The Culture Equation

Morning General Session
8:45 – 9:55 a.m.

Dr. Tanya Menon, Professor of Management and Human Resources, Fisher College of Business, The Ohio State University

Innovation Mindset

Are you a fast driver who gets on a clear path, sees the goal, and gets to their destination quickly? Or are you the one who’s perfectly comfortable aimlessly wandering without a clear path or even goal? 

No matter which side you fall on—or even if it’s somewhere in between—Tanya will share how these mindsets can work together to achieve goals. 

Humans are pattern-forming creatures—a skill that allows us to predict the future and survive. However, it is also a mindset that is a barrier to innovation. We rapidly find the pattern (often the first thing that comes to mind), engage in a confirmatory path to collect information, and go.

We’ll discover how to create a different mindset, by seeing multiple patterns at the same time in an exploratory process. We’ll also engage in activities that put the mind on a very different channel—opening up and exploring in a way that’s exciting and inspiring. 

We’ll also measure how people vary in a simple personal difference—the need for structure. There’s much diversity on this in teams, and it creates conflict, especially as we balance creative exploration with closure and action. You’ll walk away from this session knowing how to make it all work for your team.

Joe Theismann, Entrepreneur, and former NFL quarterback 

Challenge of Change

Drawing from personal experience, Joe Theismann knows how to deal with the Challenge of Change. On November 18, 1985, he was on top of his game—a two-time Pro Bowl player and the most productive quarterback in the history of the Washington Redskins. Later that evening, he found himself in a hospital bed with a compound fracture to his leg, shattering both his career and his boyhood dream. At age thirty-five, he was faced with starting over his personal life and professional career. In this stirring presentation, individuals and organizations learn how to tackle change by keeping a positive mental outlook and committing to a vision that guides you to the top.
