Leadership Skills for Complex Times
Radically turbulent times demand professional and personal responses that transcend our regular work and life patterns. It's not about happy faces on mirrors and mantras on coffee mugs. It's not about hanging on while holding back. It's about times when you feel someone ate your cheese, drained the swamp, and went from great to less-than-good.

Radical resilience requires the courage to challenge, commit, and contribute in ways that positively impact both today as well as many tomorrows. Resilient thinking results in innovation, better performance, and more than just sustainability. Based upon the length of the presentation, participants will:

•Discover how to grow the skills of adaptability, agility, laugh-ability, and alignment for producing you.
•Explode traditional definitions of resiliency and discover the value of presilience ™
•Learn a model for methodically tackling the tough issues you currently face.
•Develop a personal legacy leadership goal that defies downturns and disappointments.

At the end of the day, you too yearn for a way to let your spirit soar and your gifts shine. The competitive global 24/7 world of heart-stopping competition puts personal energy at risk. We too yearn to connect with new possibilities for people, productivity, profitability and purpose.

As we ease on down this road, we find our wisdom, ah-ha moments and greatest learnings through the context of our lives. This wisdom becomes deeper if it is forged in a furnace fueled with mind, heart and spirit.

"Resilient Relationships:
Talk Ain't Cheap: It's Priceless"
At the end of the day, our very success hinges on relationships.

These relationships grow or die based on a skill too often we forget: CONVERSATION. How meaningful are yours?

The proliferation of cell phones and the glut of chat rooms show us what society yearns for: meaningful human connection, community, and the value of relationships.

The pace of change, the lure of dazzling technology, and the speed of life have created the opposite. The most human of all connections is conversation – an internal and external event that has become blurred. We've forgotten how to talk to each other – if in fact some of us ever knew. In many instances, we have never been taught how to listen. At the deepest level, we've probably never stopped long enough to even listen to ourselves.

And at times of crisis, these conversations become even more important. This presentation explores a model for understanding and growing the conversations we have with ourselves and with each other so that everyone becomes fully engaged in the work we are tasked to do. And you'll also celebrate the power of humor to connect. Be prepared to think, laugh, and learn.
