Leadership Workshop - The Three Chairs: How Great Leaders Drive Communication, Performance & Engagement

Room/Location: Plain of Six Glaciers

When we study GREAT leaders, we discover powerful patterns in their everyday behavior. These patterns include how they lead their teams, inspire their people, give feedback, manage conflict, take initiative on their most important objectives, carefully manage their time and energy, take responsibility for their choices and manage change under pressure. All of these skills depend on their attitude and Emotional Intelligence (EQ). So it’s not surprising that research confirms that 90% of top performers across all industries are high in EQ. Although IQ is genetic, EQ is simply a set of skills that can be learned by anyone wanting to be successful in their life and career!

Audiences will learn:

      1. The 3 different attitudes / “The 3 Chairs”

      2. How these 3 attitudes impact (positively or negatively) leadership,  
           performance, communication, conflict resolution, problem solving, 
           emotion management, risk-taking, engagement & retention

       3. 3 practical strategies to start building a healthy attitude / EQ in 
             yourself & those around you, driving communication, 
             performance & engagement.

Keynote - Maximizing Generational Differences To Foster Thriving Workplaces

Room/Location: Victoria Ballroom

It’s not easy managing today’s multi-generational workforce, with managers often struggling to balance competing needs and priorities. Dr. Karyn, who has worked closely with leading organizations and specializes in managing younger generations, strongly believes that developing great managers and mentors is the glue that holds the multi-generational workforce together. Specifically, when managers learn how to exercise their power of influence, instead of their power of authority - this superpower fuels productivity, communication, engagement and retention.
