Personal Leadership
They say that self-awareness is the first commandment of leadership.
Motivate your employees who have a burning desire to inspire as part of their leadership development. This talk focuses on personal growth and development as a foundation for effectively leading others.
This isn't completely about "all the feels," but rather:
-
Being honest about one's own strengths, weaknesses, values and biases to perform authentically and meaningfully.
-
Understanding the top ten obstacles that every leader must conquer.
-
Learning how to get the most out of others by engaging in high-quality exchanges with colleagues to contribute to a high-functioning organization.

Employer Branding
Make no mistake about it. Your people are your brand. And your brand is your reputation.
If you want your customers to rave about your product or service, you're going to need the people who can make that happen. And your employer brand can determine the quality of the folks applying for your open positions.
This presentation will help your leaders understand how an employer brand can ensure high employee satisfaction for your business, nonprofit organization, government agency, or educational institution. Here's what your audience will learn:
-
How employer branding can boost your business using the 3 Seeds of Employer Branding.
-
How to develop your employer value proposition.
-
How to build a compelling employer brand campaign on a tight budget!
Ideal for leadership retreats, board meetings, and marketing and human resources associations
Marketing and Communications
Marketing and communications is most effective when it's used strategically, not as an engine of promotion.
The worst thing that any marketing and communications team can do is "wait" for directions to do their jobs effectively. I know. Little did I realize that this approach both stalled my career and diminished the value of the service that I was marketing.
At the same time, leaders do the same kind of damage when they relegate marcomm to a pet project or business accoutrements. Here are the takeaways for your organization and marcomm team(s):
-
Develop a starting point for an effective marcomm strategy.
-
Position the work of marcomm as a leadership function.
-
The secrets to developing your organization's value proposition internally without breaking the bank.
