Dave Molenda

Only 29 percent of the U.S. workforce is currently engaged in their jobs. This means that for every 10 people working for you: three are awesome, five are just punching a clock, and two toxic. What makes people decide what group that they will be in? The simple answer is “connection.” Intentionally improving your ability to connect and foster connections as a leader could transform those clock punchers from disengaged to engaged and result in them:
- Becoming twice as likely to be top performers
- Missing 20 percent fewer days of work
- Exceeding or greatly exceeding expectations in their next review
- Increased support around organizational changes

This session will share the formula to strengthening your team and improving each customer’s experience by providing leaders with tactics they can immediately incorporate into day-to-day activities to engage their employees, build meaningful and lasting business relationships, and grow their business.

Ever gone into a meeting excited to share ideas, pool resources, and save time but instead come away frustrated by internal conflict and annoying behaviors? You leave thinking, “That was a colossal waste of time.” Imagine a meeting where everyone knows your behavioral strengths and weaknesses — and you know theirs. They appreciate your perspective and you see where they are coming from. Much better chances you’d walk away thinking, “That was productive” or “Go us!” DISC is the most widely used behavioral assessment tool by organizations. Dave will present ways to leverage DISC assessments to help team uncover their hidden talents to amp up performance and engagement. Then, he’ll walk everyone through how to go about applying this behavioral knowledge to create results in the real world.
