Creating High Performance Despite Personality Differences

Do you find it difficult to lead someone with a very different personality from your own? Have you taken a personality assessment and thought it was cool (and even accurate!) and then wondered how precisely it would help you build a relationship and get the most performance out of someone whose personality absolutely clashes with your own? This workshop is about creating high performance despite the personality differences. Join us for our e-Roundtable with Jackie Lauer, Leadership Coach and Chief Relationship Officer of Axletree Consulting Inc., as she explores personality and leadership.

Harnessing the Power of Gen-Y and other 21st century management insights

While every generation complains about the shortfalls of the next, perhaps no generation has faced the scrutiny of their predecessors more than Gen-Y.

Join us as Chris Taylor, Founder and President of ActionableBooks.com, offers fresh insight into how to harness the power of Gen-Y. From a unique perspective once described as “an odd balance between Boomer and Y”, Chris draws on five years of research and real world case study on the shifting employee landscape to share the impact the “Information Revolution” is having on all generations of workers. You might be surprised by some of the findings.

Leadership Lessons They Don’t Teach in School

If you missed last year’s Leadership Lessons forum, be sure to attend this one! You’ll have the opportunity to hear the real deal on what really happens at the top of the house and to explore how you can best navigate everything from internal politics to external perception, and everything in between.

Join us as our panelists share their “hindsight 20/20″ insights on what they’ve learned along their respective journeys. Leadership sounds so easy in a textbook, but the reality is you don’t know, what you don’t know… and sometimes what’s supposed to work in theory ends up blowing up in practice!

With guest panelists:

Gail Beck-Souter
President & CEO
Beck Taxi
Jody Peck
Vice President, Human Resources
PepsiCo Beverages Canada
Stephen Taylor
President & COO

Employee Experience: The Human Factor of your Branded Customer Experience

It is a universal truth that “people are the most valuable asset of any organization”. Yet, few organizations successfully associate their people as an integral part of their total brand system. Those who do, however, create inspiring cultures with highly engaged employees where their employee experience is designed intentionally to reflect what their customers see, hear, and feel every day.

In this e-Roundtable, Michael Mattalo, Founder and Managing Partner of Fifth P, will share compelling insights and practical actions you can take to seamlessly connect you employee experience, customer experience, and brand system.
