SPEAKER SERIES: Liane Davey - January 22, 2021
Change Has Changed: Supporting Talent in a World of Perpetual Change
Leaders have always been expected to manage change. But this is different. Change has changed. Reality is shifting daily, if not hourly, and there are no orderly phases or playbooks to get us through. In these unprecedented times, even the best employees will struggle to stay productive. While we can’t stop the current tsunami, we do have the power to create calm within the storm.
In this virtual session, Liane Davey equips teams with the tools needed to deliver, even in the midst of chaos. With the right mindset and language, leaders will be able to surface and move through resistance and drama rather than getting stuck in it. Most importantly, Davey will share strategies you need right now, so you have the energy, patience, and endurance to be there for your employees throughout this ordeal.

We've Always Done It That Way: Challenge Assumptions and Embrace the Growth Mindset
The world is changing. “We’ve always done it that way” doesn’t cut it. The thinking, processes, and attitudes that got us where we are have served their purpose. Now it’s time to shift our thinking and take the next steps to succeed. Dan Trommater has been helping people challenge deeply held assumptions for over 20 years. He uses eye-popping magic, stories, and optical illusions as powerful visual metaphors to grab you by the brain and gently shake. This is not only thoroughly engaging and a lot of fun, but it also empowers each person in the room to apply the learning in their own lives. As part of this interactive presentation, Dan shares insights on the growth mindset to help leaders, managers, and team members shift their attention from the limits of “problems” to the untapped potential of “possibilities.”
Participants will leave with these transformative takeaways:
• How to get out of the “same-old-thinking-rut” and find new solutions to pressing problems.
• How to identify and challenge the limiting assumptions that hold us back.
• How to embrace the growth mindset to boost performance in all areas of life.
