Signature Talk #1: Leadership Trust: Do You Have What it Takes?

Building trust as a leader is hard. It’s not a given and in fact, for many employees you will start at a deficit simply because you are in a leadership role.

So how do you build trust – and why is it important? Through this dynamic presentation, I will share stories and strategies of leaders who effectively built trust and the results they achieved, as well as examples of leaders who failed. You will gain insight into the importance of creating a culture of trust and specific steps you can take to build trust with and between your team members.

Signature Talk #2: Change:  Lead Them, Don’t Force Them

Change can be challenging for leaders – people react in multiple ways, and resistance can slow progress or even derail your efforts.

In this engaging presentation you will learn key strategies in leading a work group through change. How to introduce change, how to identify and manage resistance, communication strategies throughout a transition, and key strategies to maintain forward momentum. Learn from stories of success and failure to apply to the change you are leading.
