Leading in Time of Uncertainty

In our lifetime, we have never experienced a period that we honestly did not know what would happen from month to month due to a virus raging through the world. Usually, we would take years to change of business model; lately, we have had only a month to pivot or perish. Stepping up to the leadership role required in these uncertain times takes exceptional talent and mindset. Join us for the webinar “Leading in Time of Uncertainty” to enhance the leadership skills that can serve you in extradentary times and uncertain times.

Your take ways:

  • Learn to develop and use a leadership mindset that can see opportunity
  • How to build a company culture in which you will never have to look for employees again
  • Build a company/team that can pivot in uncertain times to thrive
  • Learn to get more accomplished in your company in half the time

Leading Change with Patrick Powaser

Leading Change with Patrick Powaser

Change has always been part of our lives (and will always be). The question is, will you let it happen to you, or will you take charge and make change work for you? As leaders, we have the opportunity and responsibility for driving effective change in our organizations and communities. Change can be scary. It can also provide opportunities for us to grow, learn, and drive greater performance in our companies.

 

Your take aways:

  • A clear understanding how you, as a leader, can influence change and drive enhanced business results.
  • Simple frameworks that can help you make change stick in your organization.
  • Tools that can help you more effectively plan for change and diagnose why change is not happening the way you wanted.
  • More comfort welcoming change versus hiding from it.
