Past events
LEADING WITH INTERSECTIONAL AWARENESS- Dec 9th, 2016
What do today's leaders need to bring out the best in their diverse teams and communities? How can they genuinely hold multiple perspectives in order to serve their intersectional stakeholders? Join me and the Non-profit Staff Development Coalition for a rich day of learning.
ASSOCIATION FOR TALENT DEVELOPMENT: WORKPLACE LEARNING CONFERENCE - Oct 12-13, 2016
Mastery, Memes and Multicultural Perspectives - The wicked and adaptive challenges teams, organizations and communities face today require more than peak performance. They require mastery of leadership and multicultural awareness. In every field and in every profession, the people who leave a legacy are those who practice mastery. You don’t need to be an Olympian, savant or CEO to cultivate a praxis of mastery. Drawing from research in coaching, neuroscience, change management, performance optimization, spiral dynamics, leadership psychology, and applied behavioral systems theory, we’ll explore the competencies required to navigate multicultural systems, lead from anywhere in an organization, and develop a lifelong practice of mastery.
LEADERS IN TALENT DEVELOPMENT - Aug 23, 2016

DEVELOPING AS AN EMERGING LEADER
What is the one key trait top performing organizations are looking for in employees? Emergent Leadership. While traditional models of leadership are typically assigned and leveraged by authority, emerging leaders can inspire, garner respect, and cultivate followers from anywhere in an organization. Teams and organizations that cultivate emerging leadership skills can be more adaptable, manage conflict constructively, and improve employee engagement. Even large corporations like Google and Zappos have recognized the tremendous value in adopting this new style of leadership. Emergent leaders are able to articulate vision, gain influence, and promote the leadership of those around them. Their thought leadership and ability to give thoughtful feedback help them be the change they wish to see in the world.
