Keynote Topics
Work sucks has been the common refrain for far too long, with many companies moving forward on improving their culture at a snail’s pace. This is in contrast to the future-focused and cutting edge tools that have revolutionized how we communicate and collaborate. The result: organizational strategies in dire need of rethinking and revision, and it’s no wonder that so many employees report feeling those dread Sunday scaries.
This presentation asks tough questions around the concept of “work ethic,” the importance of building trust, clarifying communication methods, and investing in connections.
The idea is to challenge preconceived notions about how to foster a healthy company culture, no matter your level or role. This presentation gives you what you need in order to create change within your sphere of influence and help create a workplace that not only doesn’t suck: it’s awesome
ATTENDEE TAKEAWAYS:
The tides have changed, and so have perceptions about what makes for a good job, a good organization, and a good leadership methodology. So why is it that so many leaders continue to operate with a workplace ethos that just isn’t resonating in the current work world?
Those that aren’t adapting to the new rules of engagement are facing an environment rife with frustrated employees, high attrition rates, and broken lines of communication… not to mention a pipeline of talent that will quickly dry up without much-needed change. This keynote makes the case for why a new leadership mindset is critical, and explores how the best in the biz are embracing transformation.
ATTENDEE TAKEAWAYS:
The pandemic years have changed our world forever. There is no part of our lives that has been left unchanged, and work is no exception. While some offices are bouncing back to office-only setups, remote and hybrid work are here to stay.
And we can’t just assume that practices that worked before the pandemic will produce similar results now. With virtual meeting fatigue, the lingering effects of pandemic burnout, and rising feelings of disconnection and isolation, it’s time to rethink how we approach hybrid work.
ATTENDEE TAKEAWAYS:
In today’s workplace culture, the loudest voice in the room is the one that gets heard. In meetings, the employee that can articulate their thoughts fastest is labeled a rock star.
In digital communication, one person groans at the sight of a text message while another cringes when listening to voicemail. Just like that, your message can be misinterpreted, and then you’re falling behind, getting passed over for promotions, and worst of all, becoming frustrated with your fellow colleagues, managers, or leaders.
We break down how company culture and the hybrid workplace affects communication strategies, and how people at all levels can work together so that everyone’s voice is heard and nothing gets lost in translation.
ATTENDEE TAKEAWAYS:
Welcome to hustle culture: the mindset that being on all the time is not only necessary, but boast-worthy. Can we let you in on a poorly kept secret? This MO of working is completely unsustainable.
Burnout rates have never been higher, employees are exhausted and disengaged, and leaders are wringing their hands and asking, “What can we do?”
This presentation outlines the root causes of professional burnout, and gives attendees the tools to bring some calm and chill to the world of workplace hustle for themselves and their teams.
