Talks and Workshops for EMERGING & EXPERIENCED Leaders

Embracing New Strength
Leadership expectations are changing rapidly. I help emerging and experienced leaders develop the Four Gifts of 21st Century Strength so they can lead with ease, get the best out of their teams, and prevent their own burnout. I present a strength framework that includes vulnerability, collaboration, inclusivity, and sustainability. These key leadership characteristics are not always associated with strength, but are crucial for the kind of transformative leadership we need to succeed and thrive today.
Learning Objectives:

Person-Centered Leadership in a Crisis
Every leader is experiencing crisis right now as we try to adapt to and mitigate the pandemic, the downturn, and many fundamental cultural changes.
In this talk I share what I learned, in my career as an outdoor guide, about how person-centered leadership builds more capacity, creates a stronger group, and actually makes leadership more enjoyable and rewarding.

Charles taught me to keep my "Super Hero" in my hip pocket for when I need help with the difficult times.
