When to hold on and when to let go: Navigating life’s challenges

Move your group from stuck to unstoppable with tools to make difficult decisions and follow through with confidence and commitment

We are all faced with countless challenges — some harder than others. And we must continuously assess those situations and decide whether we’ll persevere in the face of those challenges or redirect our energy and focus to something more fruitful.

Most of the time, we do it subconsciously, stuck in the patterns of ease and short-term thinking. Whether you’re deliberating a role/career change, evaluating your alignment with your new team, learning a new skill, or working towards a major organizati- onal initiative, you would benefit from understanding the different approaches to making difficult decisions.

Learning Objectives

  • Build or bolster your decision-making toolkit, learning three powerful ways to navigate difficult decisions
  • Reflect on identifying and prioritizing your personal values and goals in the decision-making process
  • Learn how to overcome common obstacles to decision-making, such as procrastination, fear, and uncertainty
  • Understand two ways to balance your intuition with feedback and the perspective of others
  • Build your confidence in having a thoughtful system to navigate life’s challenges and make difficult decisions

This program is perfect for:

  • Associations serving Small and Medium Enterprise Owners and Business leaders
  • Teams deliberating difficult decisions
  • Organizations undergoing transformational changes and a desire to help employees align with the new future with full commitment
  • All leaders responsible for decision making

This moment is not your life

Master your inner world through emotional intelligence

Most professionals across multiple industries are well acquainted with busyness and (what may feel like, a continuous stream of) disruption. These circumstances can often make individuals feel stuck, stymied, or frustrated. But it need not be this way.

When people learn to keep perspective, identify choices, and learn skills to re-frame situations, they release the power to free themselves into states of control and creativity. This keynote walks the audience through a journey of stories that weave the essential life lesson of perseverance-any given moment is not your life; it is just one moment in your life. And only you have the power to define any moment and create the story of your life: a story that shapes the future outcomes and experiences.

Learning Objectives

The keynote is designed to elicit concrete and practical takeaways that the audience can implement immediately following the talk. These include the following:

  • The trap of “single perspective instinct” and how to avoid it
  • Learning to leverage emotional intelligence to understand, use, and manage emotions for optimal outcomes and relationships
  • The value of using vantage points to gain perspective most conducive to constructively interpreting any circumstance
  • The difference between “Alive Time” and “Dead Time” and why and how one can cultivate Alive Time
  • Specific strategies to help reframe any situation to reduce self-pity and increase a sense of empowerment to act towards desired outcomes
  • The value of building a strong sense of self to buffer the expected and unexpected disruptions and adversities in life and at work

This program is perfect for:

  • Organizations undergoing transformational changes
  • Employees experiencing change fatigue and change cynicism either due to failed change initiatives in the past or multiple concurrent changes
  • Teams struggling with a forward momentum
  • Employees experiencing burnout at work

HR’s magic 8-Ball: Leveraging HR metrics and analytics to reveal HR’s relevance and impact on business

Boost HR’s contributions and credibility

HR has always been about people. However, HR cannot handhold operational managers to guide thoughtful and effective decision-making throughout the organization. That’s where HR metrics can serve as HR’s magic 8-ball to help leaders examine their everyday challenges in running high-performing teams.

By doing so, HR can rigorously and systematically support its leaders and serve its business. However, less than 20% of organizations identify as having strong HR analytics capabilities. HR functions vary on the maturity spectrum of using dashboards with HR metrics and analytics to drive effective data-driven decision-making for operational managers.

While some organizations systematically and consistently generate and share insights from HR indicators, others leave value on the table by not systematically reviewing and learning from their key HR indicators. In this interactive, high-paced talk, HR professionals will learn the basics in HR metrics and analytics to solve the commonly occurring challenges and opportunities related to hiring the best talent, engaging employees, managing retention, and creating high-performance cultures.

Learning Objectives

  • Learn the value of HR metrics and analytics in demonstrating relevance to and impact of HR on the business
  • Learn how to identify the key performance indicators (KPIs) most relevant to your business’ success
  • Learn how to generate insights that drive decision-making in operations
  • Learn how to communicate insights broadly to the whole organization through persuasive, pithy, and compelling stories from quantitative and qualitative data

This program is perfect for:

  • Associations serving HR Professionals
  • Heads of People functions
