Evolutionary Leadership Keynote
Upgrade Your Leadership OS (Operating System)
We are living in a time of fast paced transformation and YOU are the transformers!

The key skills needed in these fast moving times are the ability to think fast, make prudent decisions quickly, test innovative ideas and to collaborate with fast responsiveness. Think about it, we keep upgrading our technologies and as technology speeds up we need our ‘thinking’ to be upgraded too!

In this ‘evolutionary’ keynote you will learn how your thinking and your mindset can impact the speed with which you and your team are able to respond and create. Imagine if you were able to download a new version of thinking that would allow you to move faster and get results more quickly.

This keynote provides insight into the ‘how’ to do just that.

Attendees will leave this session with:

• How leadership thought has evolved over the past few decades and how it relates to what was needed in the business through each of those time periods
• How technology has created a multi tasking and multiple priorities reality and what to do to maximize abilities to thrive in this reality
• The four levels of leadership awareness model that provides you with a ‘tool’ to elevate your thoughts and to align your actions with the new ‘leadership operating system’
• How to leverage mindfulness as an evolutionary strategy and other new strategies to increase your creativity, speed of thought and ability to execute effectively

Generations Keynote
Maximizing Collaboration and Innovation in Multi Generational Teams

Generations in the workplace is no longer news; leaders and teams don’t want to hear about what makes the generations different anymore they want to know “HOW” to leverage collaboration and innovation among the multi generational teams.

This keynote is tactical and practical and provides examples of different generational approaches to leadership, problem solving and getting things done.

Newer research indicates that in the past few years as Gen Y’s/Millenials impact the workplace there is a higher need for valuing the differences of each of the generations and to find ways to work together synergistically.

This generations keynote provides ideas and strategies on ‘what’ and ‘how’ each individual can increase his or her own ability to leverage generational intelligence to increase innovation and results.

• Attendees will leave this session with:
• The three things that ALL of the generations want at work
• How the strengths of each of the generations are absolutely needed for the future of work today
• Insight and a reminder of the demographics of each of the generations in the workplace and their impact on business
• How each of the generations leverages technology to achieve work goals
• Debunking the myths of the stereotypes of the generations
• Leadership strategies on how to successfully lead each of the generations by adapting to their work style and generational style
• How to increase success in communication, collaboration and innovation with each of the generations
• Case studies of high profile companies who have a large Gen Y demographic and what those companies are doing to recruit and retain Gen Y’s
• Stories of progressive ideas on how to deal with retiring or ‘refiring’ Zoomers, how to encourage reverse mentoring and how to build career plans for Gen X and Y

How to leverage evolutionary leadership skills of creativity and innovation when leading multigenerational teams

(R)Evolutionary Future Skills Keynotes
What is the best investment an organization can make to prepare for the future of work today and achieve unparalleled success?

…Advance the Resourcefulness of it’s People!

Adaptive, Innovative People Who Are Excited and Engaged, and Are the Key to a Thriving Organization

For over 20 years I have researched and participated in many human potential programs in search for bettering myself and also in search of the latest techniques for improving leadership performance.

The work of Dr. Donald Epstein is by far the most advanced and the most integrated concepts/teachings I have come across in the past 20 years.

Epstein Technologies is the accumulation of the research and models created that have been validated by numerous Universities and have already helped thousands of people globally increase health, well being and success.

We have collaborated with Epstein Technologies to bring the concepts and applications to the business world. The Epstein Technologies Corporate Program brings the teachings to businesses in the form of Keynotes, Seminars and Training programs.

The companies who will be interested in these programs will have the following ideologies in common:

• The organization is fast paced, highly technological and dynamic
• The CEO recognizes the need for leaders to have ‘superhuman OS’ in order to lead change effectively
• The leaders have had leadership training AND they are ready for the highest level of leadership tools available
• The leaders recognize that they need ‘human resourcefulness’ in order to create a company that provides shared value for its employees and its customers
• The company is focused on ‘reorganizing’ to a focus of providing added value consistently to employees and clients
• These extraordinary programs have never been released before in the Corporate arena and within a month of release major organizations like Unilever and Sony are  on board and learning (r) evolutionary ways to advance the resourcefulness of their people.
