Keynote by speaker Betsy Myers: Disruptive World
Each C-Level executive is tested at one point in his or her career by a failure, disappointment, loss, setback or betrayal. The difference between good and great organizational leaders is how resilient they are, how they deal with, and even embrace, these unexpected changes.
Indeed, our failures are the road map to our true selves; life and leadership is never a straight line but, instead, a curvy road with obstacles that challenge and stretch us. We cannot control change but we can manage how we react to it through our personal leadership.
Offer a host of critical strategies that will help leaders navigate and stay steady under disruption
How to think about change differently, how failure builds our resiliency muscle
How to deal with crisis in the middle of the storm
How resilience is our path for discovering and aligning with our life’s purpose and passion; and how, in the face of unwanted change, we discover our true character.
Emerging stronger, wiser and more self- confident even after the most challenging situations.

Keynote by speaker Betsy Myers : Leadership Creates a Feeling -- How to Create a Modern Workforce for the 21st Century
Every company today is grappling with a staggering statistic -- 50-70% of American workers are disengaged in the workplace. Clearly, the old model of command-and-control leadership is no longer effective in this new environment.
A new leadership model is necessary to recruit and retain engaged talent at all levels of the organization.
How leaders must be conscious about their behavior and its impact on others.
Why they must be self-reflective and try to understand their strengths and weaknesses.
Why leaders must ask questions, not just provide answers, in order to build relationships and facilitate teamwork and collaboration.
How leaders must bring out the productive feelings in the people around them.
Examples of when people feel valued, supported, appreciated and understood, they do their best work.
Based on Betsy Myers’ book, “Take the Lead: Motivate, Inspire, and Bring Out the Best in Yourself and Everyone Around You,” this speech will explain what leaders must do if they want a workforce that is both happy and profit-driven.

Keynote by speaker Betsy Myers: Engaging Men-- The Way Forward for Women in Business
Most companies aren’t making real progress when it comes to gender equity today. Indeed, women’s issues often appear to be pushed to the side. Unfortunately, though, the old strategies and continuing lack of focus aren’t helping organizations recruit, retain and advance talented women.
Women currently hold just 10%-15% of the senior leadership (C-Suite) positions in corporate America, even though they hold 50% of the middle-management positions.
This speech offers a sweeping new approach for boosting gender equity in US companies -- engaging men on behalf of women.
In addition to offering strategies that will help men effectively mentor women, the speech will also show how to establish trust-based professional relationships between men and women that will lead us to a gender progress that has been elusive for so many years.
