Keynote by Dima Ghawi: Inspiring Bold Leadership & Creating Engaged Employees

Employees in healthy cultures thrive. These cultures are created and passed down, inherited by the next generation of employees. The strongest leaders know to focus on a long-term strategy with an emphasis on corporate culture health for future generations to sustain.

Dima Ghawi worked with Fortune 20 corporations and diverse teams around the world for two decades. Through her assignments in 19 countries with IBM in Leadership Training and Development, she gained critical insights into leading across global teams. She recognized that bold leadership, employee engagement, and DEI were not only inextricably linked, but they were also crucial across cultures.

Her unique experience has given her deep insight into how to be an effective leader in the global age:

START WITH TRUST TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS:
Trust is the basis for nearly all healthy relationships, and getting trust starts with giving it.

HIGHLIGHT SIMILARITIES:
It’s easy to focus on cultural differences, but leaders must understand their team and pay attention to universal similarities.

BE ADAPTABLE:
Leaders must be able to adapt quickly to their team’s multiculturality and determine what they value.

Audiences will learn:

To recognize how corporate culture is learned and passed down to the next group of employees.

How to prioritize healthy employer/employee connection, and that healthy, connected cultures produce connected, engaged employees.

That inspired, courageous leadership involves assuming the responsibility of modeling and teaching healthy work culture to create their organization’s next generation.

Key attendee takeaways:

Disconnected employees diminish productivity and innovation, and this disconnection can be a significant factor in their leaving an organization – or worse yet, staying.

Incorporating long-term strategies for the next generation of employees to adopt healthy culture is critical for sustained growth.

Creating a shared confidence in the future and a culture of belonging, connection, and inclusion are key to employee engagement.

MAGICAL. Dima has an incredible ability to light up a room and captivate everyone in it. She is genuine, inspirational and exudes positivity. Her message is one of inner strength, fortitude, and perseverance – one I think ANYONE would benefit from hearing. She has brilliant business acumen and has aided our team in tremendous development both collectively and individually. If you haven’t heard her message – listen! It will change your life.

Alyssa Gigante Marketing Manager, Hyster-Yale Group

Captivating the attention of 300 plus young women, much less reaching deep into their sense of self, can be a challenge. Dima’s personable and engaging presentation style did all this and more. From overflowing laughter to moments of reflective silence, Dima brought engaging experiences and meaningful takeaways that chapter leadership and members continued to talk about months after her presentation. Dima’s leadership messages translate perfectly to the struggles, triumphs, and aspirations collegiate women encounter. Her experiences, wisdom and thought-provoking questions gave each chapter members something to connect to for their personal improvement.
