Presented by Sharon Smith, C-Suite Results

Everything evolves from technology to people so why has leadership not evolved at the same pace? Leaders need to elevate their game and become next generation leaders in order to compete in today’s environment. The status quo is not going to cut it anymore. It’s time to learn what the new way of leading looks like, why it is important, and how to tap into the authentic and powerful leader you are.

Next generation leaders understand the importance of creating teams who thrive together in their pursuit of excellence. They know how to create EPICC teams.

EPICC teams are high performance teams that built on the following pillars: Engagement, Productivity, Integrity, Collaboration, and Communication.

In this session you will learn the keys to implementing each pillar of the EPICC team model, why it’s imperative to start looking at leadership from a people perspective, and tools to help their teams be more productive and more motivated.

As John Quincy Adams said – “if your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader.”

 

Keep (the Lack of) Feedback from being a Pain in Your Career! Seek it, have Happy Clients, and Grow Rich!

Presented by Carole Stizza, Relevant Insight LLC

When did feedback become such a pain in the career?

Exponential growth occurs when feedback is welcomed. I’m not talking rainbows-and-unicorns feedback; I’m talking real, true, constructive guidance that helps improve communication, collaboration, and makes clients LOVE YOU! In recent years, Business Owners and Online Lenders have distanced themselves from “feedback,” opting to either ignore what is uncomfortable, sandwich it between sugar slices, or gloss over it entirely, and in doing so, they have lost opportunities, revenue potential, and great clients. After all, the worst feedback isn’t negative; the worst feedback is no feedback at all.

I have a soft spot for SOLID feedback, and it’s not just because I find it the most effective way for people to become relevant in their success. It’s because specific, positive, supportive feedback is contagious! It’s because the more available we are to asking and receiving feedback, the better we are at giving it, and taken seriously. It’s because we are all not-so-secretly craving feedback all the time, whether we think we need it or not. Come find out exactly how to gain the right feedback today, learn to LOVE IT, and elevate your success in your own life as well as those around you.
