General Session: The Spirit of Ubuntu - The Keys to Change How You Live, Work, and Lead

About This General Session

This is a uniquely difficult time for leaders and staff in workplaces all over America. A deadly pandemic is barreling through the world, there are deep divisions that have been exposed within our country, parents are being asked to balance working and homeschooling their kids simultaneously, and according to recent studies, Americans are the unhappiest they have been in the past 50 years. Needless to say, navigating all of the aforementioned challenges can have a significant impact on one’s overall resilience and mental health. The Unstoppable Resilience™️ keynote provides the audience with the highly-practical strategies to build unshakable strength within themselves and within their teams.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe three key questions that they need to ask themselves to increase the likelihood of civil, engaged, and productive work culture.
  • Prepare answers to the most common objections to beginning the important (and challenging) work of positively transforming their work culture.
  • Create the self-awareness to become mindful of how their words, actions, and behaviors affect others.
