Featured Keynotes (live or virtual):
Five Scopes to Elevate Your Critical Thinking and Leadership
The business world celebrates the forward-looking telescope in strategic problem solving, asking questions like, what does this mean for us in a year, or five years? While there is merit to thinking about the future, four other scopes are required in the VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) environment of work for thoughtful leadership and balanced decision making.
Participants will learn the five scopes to elevate their critical thinking and leadership, and master when to apply each scope in any given situation.
Re-Visioning Change:
Rhythms to support the leader's inner world during rapid reinvention
Many organizations have become experts at change management within systems and teams. Too often, our methods fail to recognize the internal work of transition in any change. In the same way we need a framework to move through the external components of change, we need rhythms to support the internal work of transition. Christy brings practical ways to manage the tension between what is and what is becoming.
Organizational Innnovation Across Generations:
Use X, Y and Z to Solve Problems Faster
For the first time, five distinct generations are present in our workforce. Diverse generations on teams can sometimes create a generation gap, accompanied by tension. Digital immigrants and natives collide, and preferences (coupled with lack of understanding) can cause division. There is a better way! Understanding generational mindsets and contributions allows us to capture and build on the strengths of each generation. Participants will learn to recognize generational differences and win others' hearts without losing their own values in working relationships.
