    Why curiosity is the key to improving innovation, engagement & productivity

    Employees can be more innovative, engaged and productive by improving their natural curiosity, but they must be trained to do so and be rewarded for their efforts. Harvard Business Review found that while 83 percent of C-suite executives believe they encourage curiosity, only 52 percent of employees feel they are rewarded for their curiosity—and are therefore less likely to provide innovative ideas to the organization. HR professionals and leaders can benefit from recent groundbreaking research discoveries regarding what affects curiosity. Once organizations recognize and overcome the four factors that hold people back from being curious, they can develop training and development plans to unleash it. Learning Objectives: Determine how four factors—Fear, Assumptions, Technology, and Environment (FATE)—have an impact on curiosity. Learn strategies for overcoming the factors that hold back curiosity. Discover the Curiosity Quotient (CQ) and Curiosity Code Index (CCI). Recognize the importance of leaders who reward improvement in curiosity.

    This workshop will address the importance of knowing oneself in order to effectively find our voice as a leader. Presented by Dr. Lisa Templeton, clinical cognitive-behavioral psychologist and author of Letting It Be: Mindful Lessons Toward Acceptance, this hour will provide a forum to aid in staying mindful of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and understanding how these are interconnected and influence our leadership abilities. If we have not accepted ourselves, we have not embraced our power to evolve and become who we are truly meant to be. When we know who we are and understand the workings of our mind and body, we draw on the power to transform ourselves. Three takeaways from the workshop: 1) Learn practices to engage with deeper aspects of yourself; 2) Experience the power of your thoughts, mental images, and emotions; and 3) View yourself from a more objective and compassionate perspective.

    Leadership is not about titles and corporate ladders any longer. It's not a top down philosophy- it's an inside out one.

    Coaching women to fix the system

    Undoubted progress has been made in the number of women who have entered the workforce over the last 40 years. Graduate recruitment into previously all-male domains has rocketed. But still we have too few women running things. In my experience of coaching professional women at various stages of their career over the last 25 years I have noticed that too many of these highly talented women internalise the challenges they face. Rather than blame a system that can't cope with the demands of a world where work life and care-giving are becoming 24/7 requirements, women instead work harder and harder to stay on track. How coaching can help: 1) Coaching can help younger women to identify with leadership despite an absence of suitable role models. 2) Coaching expectant and new mothers is vital to help them recognise this as a critical phase for honing their leadership skills. Delegating, decision-making, boundary management and the 20/80 rule can be learned quickly when the prize is more time with your child. 3) Coaching female leaders who find themselves in the minority helps them find strategies for being authentically themselves and yet fit in. 4) Coaching managers of women to ensure they are aware of what they can do to adapt things to encourage more women. In all of these engagements the key is to alert women to the need to push back against a system that no longer fits rehire needs and to unite in doing this.

    "Be authentic. Have empathy. Empower your people! Be agile!” Does this sound familiar? Responses from leaders are typically something like: “I get it, those behaviors are spot on.

    Coaching as a culture is something that may not be discussed widely outside of leadership, organizational development, and coaching circles, but it should be. Too many times, we see organizations fill the plates of supervisors and managers so much that they only have time for the administrative aspects of their jobs. Some organizations have 100 individuals report to one supervisor who is responsible for vacation, pay, and performance reviews. Encouraging regular employee feedback and fostering an environment where leaders empower and engage their employees will help create a culture of coaching that is more meaningful and more easily assimilated into day-to-day leading.

    In this interactive special event we will engage in a dialogue on what it means to have a human experience of Leadership. Building thriving organisations for the 21st is going to take a shift in how we think about leadership – one that evokes individual leadership in each one of us. Our professional clothes, construct, models are not designed for entering uncharted and muddy depths of human existence and evolution. We may have a sense that there is a lake of possibilities, which we keep postponing to a better, later time. Yet, this intuition is the very edge of our fear. We stand at the edge of it awaiting to step into those possibilities. What does it take to have the courage to immerse in the waters of possibilities? I am afraid we cannot answer it with the talismans of 21st Century: laptops, mobile phones, VR, AR. Can we? Those smart technologies, prepared speeches, excel spreadsheets seem to take us down instead. The confusion, paradoxes and complexities are difficult to navigate only with our logic minds. We will discover the power of imagination and language a leader must tap into to inspire and live wholeheartedly. Why poetry? Poetry re-affirms our humanity and re-awakens our inner wisdom. It can help us re-membering the heART that makes us alive. Through the use of paradoxes and metaphors poetry challenges the myths and practices of those overly focussed only on outcome, profit and results and, it guides us to increased: well-being, engagement and meaning.
