FEARLESS LEADERSHIP

Fear is a major reason people don’t move forward to new levels. Fear of change, fear of rejection, fear of confrontation and even fear of success can hold us back. Strategies for conquering our fears and changing our mindset and focusing on desired outcomes are outlined. Fear and confidence are contagious and we need to manage our input to control our output.

MOVING TO GREAT

How can we be at our best more of the time? What qualities do peak performers have that allows them to perform at the next level? How do we align our goals and values to stay focused on our desired outcomes. This message will focus on habits and attitudes to move to new levels.

LEADING THROUGH CHANGE

Rapid change continues to impact our lives. How can we lead ourselves and others through the changes. We will look at the reasons why people don’t like change and how we can overcome those barriers. Often fear and lack of confidence enter into our decision processes as well. What are you modeling? It’s all up to leadership!

LEADING AND MANAGING CHANGE IN THE NEW REALITY

Leading and Managing Change has never been easy. But it’s never been more challenging than it is today in this “New Normal” or “New Reality”. The customer has never been more demanding, the competition never stiffer, employees less engaged, and change and technology advances only getting faster. Plus, despite all these demands, many leaders are being asked to accomplish more, faster and remain flexible to marketplace demands and changes.

Key Points of this Presentation:
- Leaders becoming “Dealers of Hope”.
- Changing the Momentum.
- Three reasons you may be resisting change.
- Leading to win or not to lose?
- The need to give and receive timely feedback and act on it.
- Overcoming fear and uncertainty and leading more courageously.
- Seeing the potential through all the hazards and noise around you.
- Communicating the “Why” and the “How” to change.
- Having difficult conversations…making tough decisions….taking action.
- No longer allowing good intentions to be a substitute for actual accomplishment.
- Inspiring your people and leading and modeling the change.
- Being at your “best” more of the time.
- The need to be resilient and to bounce back quickly.
