    Rest as a Leader

    We’ve all been there... Moving at full speed and with so much intense pressure from all directions that it’s hard to remember where we’re going and why. We just know we have to get there – yesterday!

    During the past 10 years of executive coaching and development our most important work has been around helping leaders find rest so they can love life at work and love life at home. Not only for them to be healthy leaders, but to lead in a way that helps the organization be healthy as well.

    We still need to move quickly, but with purpose. We need to slow down long enough to connect (or re-connect) with the cornerstones of our leadership that provide the foundation for how we live our lives. Join us for our session on “Rest” to spend an hour working through our proven process to help leaders find rest in the middle of the chaos.

    Meet your facilitator Michael Brown

    Wrangling SME's for Success

    Whether you are a Human Resources partner, trainer, coach, or manager— you will likely find the occasional need to create content for your organization and will need to work with subject matter experts (SMEs) within your organization. Often because of a number of factors including deadlines, interpersonal relationships, and internal politics, a scenario that would otherwise offer an organization a great opportunity for internal collaboration becomes an exercise in managing challenges. This presentation will provide insights and wisdom to get past the pain points so you can deliver critical results!

    Your speaker is Rob Hoitt, CPTD
