Example talks

Resilient by Design: Leading with Grace in Times of Change and Uncertainty

Most leadership frameworks treat resilience as endurance, a matter of staying productive no matter what. But real resilience is about capacity. The ability to stay rooted in yourself while leading through volatility, uncertainty, and pressure. This session is designed for leaders navigating nonstop demands, changing priorities, and the emotional weight of holding space for others. It offers a more honest and sustainable approach to resilience that strengthens presence, regulation, and decision-making under pressure.

Key Takeaways:

  • A clear understanding of resilience as capacity, not just strength
  • Tools to manage emotional energy and lead with steadiness
  • Insight into how nervous system responses impact leadership behavior
  • Strategies for modeling grounded leadership in uncertain environments

The Growth Mindset Advantage: Transforming How You Grow, Lead, and Succeed at the Next Level

At higher levels of leadership, growth becomes less about doing more and more about thinking differently. The strategies that once drove success can start to feel limiting. What gets in the way isn’t a lack of skill, but a mindset that hasn’t evolved to meet the moment. This session is for leaders navigating change, new responsibilities, or the discomfort of outgrowing old ways of operating. You’ll take a fresh look at how your mindset influences performance, fulfillment, and how you move through uncertainty. With a focus on self-awareness and sustainable growth, this session offers tools for leading with more clarity, confidence, and adaptability.

Key Takeaways:

  • Distinguish between growth and fixed mindsets and how each shapes leadership effectiveness
  • Learn how to navigate transitions without defaulting to old habits
  • Build a mindset that supports meaningful progress and personal alignment

Relational Authority: Strengthening Presence to Move People and Decisions

Most people associate influence with authority, but real influence begins long before decisions are made. It’s shaped by presence, consistency, and how others experience you. When authority is unclear, many compensate by working harder, speaking louder, or relying solely on relationships. Over time, that can lead to misalignment, burnout, or feeling invisible in moments that matter. This session will guide participants in exploring how they currently use influence, what gets in the way, and how to shift their presence to build traction and trust. They will learn to lead conversations that foster alignment, navigate resistance without over-functioning, and build credibility when it matters most.

Key Takeaways:

  • Clarify what effective influence looks like in matrixed environments 
  • Identify personal patterns that limit or support your ability to gain traction
  • Build trust and credibility in high-stakes interactions
  • Communicate with intention, to guide conversations and shape decisions

Tap Into Your Power: Reclaim Your Leadership from the Inside Out

Many leaders operate from a version of power they didn’t consciously choose. Shaped by early experiences, cultural influences, and organizational expectations, these unconscious patterns often lead to over-functioning, self-silencing, or the constant need to prove oneself. These inherited beliefs can either support or sabotage your effectiveness as a leader, often without you realizing it. In this session, you’ll uncover the roots of your relationship with power, explore how these beliefs shape your leadership today, and begin to redefine power on your own terms. By shifting from performance to presence, you’ll strengthen your leadership in a way that feels more honest, grounded, and sustainable.

Key Takeaways:

  • Gain deep insights into how your early experiences shape your current approach to power and leadership.
  • Explore techniques for creating mental and emotional space for adopting a new, empowering model of power.
  • Develop a renewed relationship with power that allows you to lead more authentically and influence more effectively.

The Power of Social Capital: Advance Your Career Through Strategic Relationships

Relationships are more than a nice-to-have. They are a key driver of career growth, influence, and opportunity. But not all connections carry the same value. The most successful professionals know how to invest in the right relationships at the right time. This session offers a practical approach to building and sustaining the relationships that matter most. You’ll explore the concept of social capital, learn how to identify the types of relationships that support your goals, and create a personalized roadmap to help you grow your network with clarity and purpose.

Key Takeaways:

  • ​Create a relationship roadmap to help you grow and nurture your network over time
  • Understand the difference between personal, professional, and strategic connections, and why each one matters
  • Learn simple and effective ways to build and strengthen your network at any stage of your career
