THE AI LEADERSHIP GAP: WHY READINESS BEATS TECHNOLOGY

After sharing stories of what makes for an amazing culture where people love to work while driving results, my aim is to open up the audience’s eyes to what culture really is and how it works. I discuss and share what’s really driving the company, I show how culture change can actually happen immediately, by demonstrating how the culture of the room can change in a moment (using fun examples). Once the audience understands the power of culture, how it works, and how it can change, I leave the group with three high leverage tools that can be used immediately to create long-term change and ignite the human spirit at work.

VALUES BASED COMPANIES

Values-based companies have employees who manage and motivate themselves. In this talk, I share stories of the strength of the core values at companies like Zappos.com, Starbucks and Southwest Airlines, then share the science behind why they work so well. Once you learn the secrets behind how values work, I take the group through a process of becoming familiar with their own core values. Finally, I’ll leave your audience with a process to use in discovering and then implementing the values across your organization.
