Around the world and across industries, leadership as we know it is broken. Worldwide employee engagement rates are barely in the double digits, and in the U.S. alone, up to 75% of people believe that their boss is the most difficult and stressful part of their job. In this engaging and interactive presentation, Founder and CEO of the Center for Advancing Leadership and Human Potential, Danielle Harlan, PhD, will talk about why the current model of leadership isn't working, and will share evidence about a new and better model. Participants in this session will gain a better understanding of what the research and data tell us about leadership as well as specific, evidence-based strategies for improving their leadership skills.

If you want to make an impact―in your work, your life, and the world at large―it’s time to scrap the traditional thinking about leadership. The game is changing. Power is shifting. And a brave new movement of leaders are redefining success, rewriting the rules, and revolutionizing leadership for the modern world. In this engaging and interactive presentation, Founder and CEO of the Center for Advancing Leadership and Human Potential, Danielle Harlan, PhD, will describe this new movement of leaders, including how they are different and distinctive from even great leaders of the past. Participants in this session will walk away with multiple evidence-based strategies for adapting their leadership style in order to increase their success, fulfillment, and impact—in their work and beyond.

Many of us have a clear idea in our heads about the kind of leader we want to be—or at least about the kind of leader we know that we definitely DON'T want to be. But did you know that some of the essential leadership qualities that we learn early on in our careers can actually hinder our leadership capacity later on? In this engaging and interactive presentation, Founder and CEO of the Center for Advancing Leadership and Human Potential, Danielle Harlan, PhD, will highlight the leadership competencies that we must UN-learn (such as sacrificing our health and wellness), in order to successfully advance in our careers. Participants in this session will leave with an understanding of the key "strengths" that weaken their leadership effectiveness and approaches for overcoming them when necessary.
