We were taught to wait for certainty before we move. Gather more information, run one more analysis, and be sure. But in a world changing faster than any plan can keep up, the clarity we are waiting for often is not coming. In fact, it may be sitting on the other side of a move we have not made yet.

Attendees will receive a practical navigation system for the moments when the answer is not obvious and the map is incomplete. They will learn from leaders, trailblazers, and remarkable stories from around the world about how to stop chasing certainty, close the Identity Gap, and make progress before the perfect path reveals itself.

· Three questions to determine whether to hold the bearing, shift a degree, or change course

Attendees will receive a practical guide to building teams that are more adaptable, aligned, and ready for whatever comes next.

Whether it is next week's weather or the yet-to-be-created technology that is sure to evolve how we work, the future is truly impossible to predict.

Uncertainty is inevitable in the new world of work. In the face of ongoing change, will we see our people running for the exits, or will they be there to support and help each other? Change is happening faster than ever before, and building unwavering teams that are resilient, ultra-collaborative, and even excited about that change has never been more important. But how do we build unwavering teams? Trust, empathy, and ongoing experimentation.

Workplace culture and leadership expert Eric Termuende has spent nearly a decade decoding exactly what creates unwavering teams: those that are resilient, rooted in belonging, and have a deep sense of safety and inclusivity. These are the types of teams that thrive through change because they know that while change may be difficult, the only thing worse is standing still. Eric has created a playbook for cultivating unwavering teams, and in this session, attendees will both learn it and be able to take it home with them.

Regardless of where we look, talent shortages are impacting nearly every industry, and competition is fierce. With an entire generation on the precipice of retirement and not enough workers ready to replace them, the situation is only going to get fiercer. More than ever before, we need to do whatever we can to attract and retain top talent. But what is that?
After a decade of research on the world's greatest places to work, workplace culture and leadership expert Eric Termuende has the answer.

Like snowflakes and fingerprints, it all comes down to uniqueness. The days of job listings demanding an extensive list of skills and attributes from potential employees are gone. Instead, we need to talk about the larger workplace experience and the difference our organizations are making in the world. To attract the right talent in today's environment, we must plant our metaphorical flag in the ground and emphasize what makes us, as employers, different from the rest.

In this fun and takeaway-filled presentation, attendees will not only learn how to create their own compelling stories to attract the right talent to their organization, but they will also leave with a talent attraction framework they can continue to refine as the world of work keeps evolving.

What audiences come away with:
· Actionable ways to create and share a unique, sticky, and impactful employee value proposition
· Key strategies for leveraging your best recruiters: your existing team
· An understanding of why creating a best place to work might not mean what you think it does, and what licorice, cilantro, and pineapple pizza have to do with it
· Knowledge of where culture lives and how to adapt your story based on the team or location you are hiring for
