How Culture, Values and Belonging Enable You to Thrive
You are unique, and that is worth everything
Keynote: 45 – 90, Q&A
In this signature talk, David presents the idea that individuals and organizations alike have a unique “seed” full of existing values, traits, and competencies that can best grow when acknowledged accordingly. By revealing what kind of “seed” you are, identifying the right soil, and aligning with the best opportunity for you, you can grow in a way that makes it hard, and sometimes impossible, for others to compete with you. Much of it comes down to how well you understand and harness your past and present in order to capitalize on your true potential and thrive into the future.
This keynote will cover the following topics:
- Understand how deeply held values guide everything you do, including your successes
- Embody leadership through listening and shared values
- Uncover shared directives and ideas with complete team buy-in
- Learn to get ahead of the market and stop reacting to trends
- Transition from an organization with a mission to a mission with an organization
