Creating Brave Culture

Let's talk about culture- but not just corporate lingo of high-performance culture and so on- that is important, yes, but that is just the outcome of a brave culture. See I want to talk with you about what it takes to get there. What I believe we’re missing.

I want to talk with you about creating brave cultures. Cultures that are built off of having to be courageous leaders. Cultures that are built on inclusion and in turn, have diversity. Cultures that require authenticity and transparency. Cultures that are resilient, take risks and create innovation. Cultures that produce growth in every area. Cultures that are led and driven from purpose.

This is the type of culture that you don't have to strive for engagement, it's produced organically. It's time to do the real work and build transformational, brave cultures.

Living & Leading from Purpose

What is I told you that your success and fulfillment lie in your purpose? What if I told you that you can start living from your purpose today? What if I told you the secret to true leadership development is found in your purpose?

Purpose is not this elusive thing. It is deeply connected to every area of your life and our disconnection from it is what is causing our exhaustion, dissatisfaction, poor engagement, and hindering us from where we want to go and who we want to be.

Lack of purpose is the leading cause of burnout. It is vital for us to reconnect, live, and lead from our purpose.

I will walk you through the 6 key areas of connecting to your purpose and how to start walking in them today. This talk will transform your personal & professional life and will build momentum for the rest of your life and success.

Removing the Fear of Change

The only constant we have is change. Today, the world is facing more change than we ever have. How do we not let the disappointment and change hinder us and hold us back? We have to learn how to quickly adapt, move through change, and get to the other side—where we embrace change and find the opportunity waiting for us. In this talk, we discuss what physically is happening in the body when we are faced with change, the different cycles of change, how we can effectively move through each stage and adapt more quickly, and how we can use change to open the door to more opportunity and gain even more on the other side. We are resilient and change can be the best thing that ever happens to us, but we must face it and embrace it in order to rise up stronger on the other side.

The Obstacle that Changed Everything

What if your greatest crisis and loss brought you to greater joy? Stoics and scholars for years have understood that our obstacles produce the path we needed all along. But how do we acknowledge our current circumstance and challenges without getting stuck? instead, how do we find the path to our greatest opportunities and reward? Resilience is key. In this talk & workshop, we will equip people with practical tools they can immediately begin implementing on how to be resilient and overcome adversity in their day-to-day.
