The Future of Work
In the next two years we will see more change than we have in the last 10. How we work. How we connect. What is important to us. How we define meaning in our lives. It will be a rollercoaster through every emotion imaginable. Scary and disruptive. But also, transformative.
Being a leader in these disruptive times demands empathy, compassion, and understanding. It requires you to meet others where they are now with humility and authenticity. Let’s promote conscious inclusion by bringing everyone to the table so that we can listen, learn and then lead to a place not entirely visible today.
This keynote covers the 4 Skillsets of Dare to Lead ™

How Shame Shows Up in Organizations
Emotional intelligence isn’t soft. It’s critical.
Work is personal—and leaders who haven’t done their own self-work are working their issues out on their people and causing harm. High turnover, losing top talent, apathy, and burnout are not things we need to normalize and “accept”. They are indicators that something isn’t well.
This keynote provides awareness of how shame might be showing up in your organization and how to build shame resilience to create work cultures where people can thrive.

Why Leadership: “Who we are is how we lead.” - Brené Brown
Leadership starts with you, but it’s not about you.
Being a leader demands empathy and awareness of what your people are going through, and how to help them. Only then can you start to promote calm, build trust, and take action to move teams from ambiguity to optimism.
How do you lead, today? Everyone has dominant behaviors that influence their leadership style. By understanding what these are and identifying areas for improvement you can continue your journey toward more inclusive leadership.
This key note introduces the 4 DiSC Communication Styles of leadership, the strengths and shadow sides of each, and the critical element that defines great leadership.
