Transformational (Level 5) Leadership consistently transforms organizations in the face of ongoing change.  Maureen will show you how you can help your leaders transform themselves and your organization.  She’ll discuss Level 5 Leadership and how the various leadership levels can help (or hinder) the achievement of your goals.

  

Strategic Planning (Mike Sheehan & Mike Figliuolo)

Strategic planning is a critical tool for any leader but many times the process gets overcomplicated. In this session, we offer our approach to planning including defining vision, mission, and strategic filters.  Initiatives are evaluated against the filters and core competencies. Rigor at the outset of the process yields a focused list of high-value initiatives that contribute to reaching your strategic goals.

thoughtLEADERSHIP (Alan Veeck)

Have you ever been told to "think outside the box" but you've never been shown exactly how to do that? In this session Alan will define thoughtLEADERSHIP, discuss characteristics thoughtLEADERS possess, and give you simple tools you can use to lead the thinking in your organization.  You’ll learn why it’s a good thing to ask “why?”, say “so what?” and blow up your business.

  

Project Management Reality (Jack Maher)

Project management professionals are well versed in traditional tools like Gantt charts and scope documents.  What they're not taught are the on-the-job challenges every project faces (resource loss, politics, etc.).  Jack will cover critical real-world risks and opportunities inherent in every project you undertake.  Understanding these will help you avoid the landmines and capture untapped value.

  

The Mind of the Leader (Jarrod Spencer)

Jarrod’s signature concept of the mind is proven to work fast, efficiently, and with long-lasting results.

  

Leadership Maxims (Mike Figliuolo)

Mike will explore four holistic aspects of leadership and show you how to create your own practical "maxims" that you can start using immediately.
