Topics

Who Are You Waiting For? (Kate Fagan Taylor)

Like never before, people are feeling the need to find and create meaning as our world changes around us. But even high-performing executives can find it challenging to maintain a compelling sense of personal purpose in their work and help others do the same. In this interactive keynote workshop, executives will be invited to envision the leader they want to be, and explore five principles that enhance our power of personal authenticity to lead, inspire and transform our organizations. Participants will be invited to explore and put these principles into action throughout the retreat and beyond.

The Neuroscience of Leading in Challenging Times (Stephanie Berryman)

Your brain is hardwired to be in a state of threat and avoidance or a state of moving towards reward. The past few years have put our brains in a high-alert state of threat which has caused increased stress, decreased productivity and a lack of motivation for many people. 

In this interactive and engaging session, you’ll learn practical strategies you can use to work with the brain’s hardwiring to lead yourself and your teams through challenging times. By the end of the session, you will have tools to:

• Reduce and manage stress;
• Increase productivity (without putting in extra hours);
• Increase motivation and engagement;
• Lead through challenging and uncertain times.

In a time when our brains are experiencing more stress and demands than ever, leading with an understanding of how the brain is wired is crucial to well-being and success.
