Truly transformational leaders deliver 600% the results of average ones if 70% of an organization’s leadership behaviors are responsive as opposed to reactive. Profit is in the top 10% of companies, yet over 80% of leaders are outmatched by the VUCA reality, and only 8% can deliver change and transformation effectively in today’s VUCA world. No organization can outperform the craft, the consciousness, and the competence of its leaders for very long without explicitly transformational leadership—whether it’s called creative, adaptive, or strategic. The forces of disruption, disorder, drama, and dysfunction always prevail, and underperformance, irrelevance, and ultimately obsolescence all follow.
Once I understood that, I dedicated my life to mastering the science, the art, and the craft of truly transformational leadership for my own company and for the 100,00+ leaders I’ve had the privilege to advise, coach, and inspire over 20 years. Along with my colleagues, I’ve created a self-to-system curriculum for transformational leadership that helps leaders drive forward critical changes, breakthroughs, and business transformations so they forge and don’t fail the future.
Taking your brief, I will work tirelessly to amplify your messages and elevate your ambitions while remaining independent as a thought leader, challenger, and aspirer. Every one of my keynotes is customized to meet and exceed expectations and connect with your specific audience to unleash energy, momentum, inspiration, and traction. In your keynote, I could share how to upgrade leadership mindsets to fall forward, not fall back under pressure, how to use elements of the Self-to-System curriculum to take the turmoil out of transformation and cope better with uncertainty and complexity, how to lead change, innovation, and transformation from the inside out to meet the outside in—one new belief and one new behavior at a time.
I’ll discuss how to sense-make, decision-make, and prioritize in complexity, and ways to strengthen the existing offer and unlock breakthroughs that shape the future of your industry. I’ll explain why agility and velocity begin with emotional mastery so we flow and don’t freeze in the face of headwinds. I’ll share insights on how to accelerate the journey of becoming a transformational leader and where to start in the hours, days, and months after.
I saw the room go from a bit tired to very inspired. Totally engaging and fully immersive. You wouldn’t want to miss a second of it. It was powerfully supercharged right from the start.
