Shifting the Frequency
Cultivating Joy
as a Force Multiplier
Reposition joy as a critical driver of well-being, cognitive functioning, and performance at work. In this enlightening journey, we’ll explore the three essential building blocks of joy — awe, acceptance, and generous connection — and uncover how committing to a daily, active practice of joy (a purposeful “act of insistence”) can transform our personal and professional lives. We’ll learn how we can compound our individual impact, creating ripple effects that elevate both our own growth and the collective success of our teams and organizations.
Birds, Harps, & Swords
Building Brave Cultures
Seize the opportunity to actively combat fear and foster courage across our organizations, within our teams, and in ourselves. In this conversation, we poignantly illustrate how true leadership requires both the harmony of “harp strength” and more responsible “sword strength.” By holistically balancing these dual forces, we create more courageous, human-centered cultures that soar as the “bird of humanity” rights itself through collective wisdom and intuitive power.
Deeper Roots
Elevating Trust
as a Core Competency
Ground your people with the emotional framework of the most inspiring form of human motivation — trust. This powerful thought platform explores our shared responsibility to offer safety, autonomy, and dignity to those around us. It is brought to life through a personal story of how authentic vulnerability and a team powered by trust turned the tide during a pivotal “Just Do It” moment at the Beijing 2008 Olympics.
A Generative Way Forward
Reimagining Power for a
More Inclusive World
Move collectively to a new leadership paradigm through this provocative and actionable blueprint for becoming a generative leader who actively builds and shapes a positive team culture. We’ll get inspired to create the world we truly want and need, by focusing on what we stand FOR. And, using nature as our teacher, we’ll explore the powerful insight that "it all starts with the soil."
Learning to Catch
Compassionate Leadership Through Curious Listening
Uncover the often-overlooked,
yet essential, art of listening in this discussion focused on the "ambient light of our emotions." As leaders, we’ll lift from removed. reactive listening to responsible and receptive listening. We’ll experience the transformative power of non-violent communication and learn that true listening is never just “scenery” but an event that can spark radical growth — for others but also for ourselves — as we learn how to earn true listenership from those around us.
