How The Best Leaders Use An Economic Downturn
“In my Leadership presentations I engage your audience with real life anecdotes and examples of what works, what doesn’t and why. I share insights and knowledge drawn from 20 years of research and experience that are the principals of my newest book, A New Breed Of Leader: 8 Leadership Qualities That Matter Most In the Real World … What Works, What Doesn’t and Why. We explore the eight critical leadership qualities that matter most in the real world; competence, accountability, openness, language, values, perspective, power and humility. We reinforce the best leadership qualities of the past and update them with new ways to create a sense of community built around a shared purpose. Each person leaves knowing that leadership is not the exclusive privilege of the well educated, the rich, or the powerful. Whether they lead at home, in the community, or at work, they can be a 21st Century leader who makes a difference.”

It increases both their competence and confidence to live and work successfully in our world, which is changing more rapidly than ever before.
