The future of leading healthy, engaged employees: Your Culture of Well-being
What we remember about the places we work comes down to our experiences with a small handful of people. The executive you respect and trust. The peer you count on for accountability. The up-and-coming leaders you manage. This small group of people defines your relationship with your company. They’re the people we work with the most, meet with, get information from, and know the most about our purpose. And it’s this purpose that impacts our confidence and productivity, our mental health, our physical health, and other aspects of our well-being.
This highly interactive and engaging signature talk delivers the five steps to creating a Culture of Well-being within your organization. These steps have helped shape healthy team cultures around the world.
Outcomes:
1) The so what of healthy employees.
2) Localizing “culture.”
3) Redefine employee well-being.
4) The importance of a strategic communication campaign in creating a Culture of Well-being.
5) The CHASE Model: We’ll share the five actionable steps to help create a Culture of Well-being within your organization.
Leading With Empathy: Lessons from "Ted Lasso"
Understanding the perspective of others through empathy can make or break friendships, romantic relationships, and billon-dollar business partnerships. And yet, it’s one of the most challenging, misunderstood, and overlooked aspects of human relationships.
Recent data suggests that 76 percent of people who experienced empathy from their leaders reported they were engaged, a critical factor in designing effective employee communications strategies.
This engaging and interactive conversation will use a series of leadership examples from “Ted Lasso” – a masterclass in showing how to build trust with employees, earn respect from executives, and design a winning culture - empower leaders to use empathy to inspire their employees, teams, and executives to BELIEVE in an idea.
Outcomes:
1) What is empathy, specifically cognitive empathy, and why is it important for relationships?
2) How to use empathy to manage up, down, and across their organization effectively.
3) Embrace the positive impact of bringing outside and unique perspectives into your organization.
4) Design a strategy to inspire employees to believe and buy into an idea.
Our work together will create actionable solutions for your individual, team, and business well-being.
