  About This Event

  
  

  Since leaders operate from myriads of current and prior experiences, their performance is affected on a day-to-day basis. Reframing is a cognitive strategy that allows leaders to change how current and prior experiences are viewed. 

  This presentation focuses on helping leaders understand how to identify gaps and seize opportunities through the power of reframing to facilitate their development as a leader, thereby resulting in improved organization outcomes.

  About This Event

  
  

  Because being good at your job isn't
  enough—learn how to be indispensable.

  Many believe that accumulating knowledge and skills are the keys to job success, while missing the critical role of trustworthiness in taking their professional game to the next level. Trust, even though you can't see it, critically influences how you are perceived, how your reputation evolves, and how successful you become in both your career and life.

  During this session, we will tackle whether trust should be earned or given, explore how to turn the six elements of trust into daily actions, learn to avoid six pitfalls that undermine trust, and understand how to repair trust, especially when your trust has been broken. This action-packed presentation will give you techniques that you can apply immediately on the job.
