Audacious Leaders Summit

Two Tracks, Two Focuses

This Winter 2022 Audacious Leader's Summit is split into two, very specific tracks:

Business and Operational Development: In your business, what opportunities are on the horizon? How can you innovate, reinvent, adapt and adopt to future-proof your business?

Personal / Professional Development: How do you need to adjust? You've known your reality forever, but how can you break the cycle of safety, comfort, and yes, complacency, to become the leader you want to be?

Being Intentional With Your Hybrid and Remote Work Teams

Track 1 Intermediate

Hybrid working with some of the team in the office and others working remotely is here to stay. However, remote workers often feel excluded from key decision making; feel ‘invisible’ and are concerned they will miss out on career development. This speech is about how you can ensure you are noticed; part of the conversation and involved in decision making, rather than being ignored due to not being in the office.

Likewise, as a leader, how could you ensure your talent is all being included in meetings; are visible and being USED effectively within your organisation. The presentation provides some ideas for how to include rather than exclude your remote talent.

Outcomes:

  • What the challenges are for remote workers and leaders working in a hybrid working environment
  • Strategies and ideas for remote workers to be visible, influential and being part of the business conversation.
  • How an effective communications plan could make it more efficient for everyone to communicate and to be included in decision making
  • What leaders need to consider, to ensure their remote talent is used and noticed easily.

Climbing The Right Mountain

Track 2  Audacious Leaders - Intermediate

Are you driven? Do you focus on a goal and give it all you have?
How we navigate our careers and lives is like climbing a mountain with many challenges and stops along the way. The climb is full of many decision points, and often we question if we are making the right choices.
But what if the mountain you are climbing is not what you expected?
We rarely speak about the enormous population of people who get to the top of the mountain only to realize they gave everything they had only to summit the wrong peak.
One of the biggest mistakes people make is living in a state of constant doing. If you are constantly doing, then your focus is all about climbing, making good time, getting to the next plateau, and, above all else, planting your flag before someone else does. And yet, many people have taken this path only to look around and realize their flag was meant for a completely different peak.
In this interactive session Tony Martignetti, the Chief Inspiration Officer and Founder of Inspired Purpose Coaching will discuss how you can shift your perspective and set a course that will fulfill you personally and professionally.

Shared Writing Activities to Build Team Trust

Track 1 Intermediate

You might find that you enjoy some of the perks that come with working from home. There's flexibility in your schedule and perhaps fewer interruptions during your workday. And yet without offices, many people are finding it difficult to have serendipitous conversations with coworkers.

Without impromptu conversation there is no organic way to build trust.  We don’t truly collaborate.  At best we merely cooperate and coordinate.  And that takes all the fun out of working together as a team. 

It is trust that transforms a group of people into a team. 

Shared writing exercises bridge the gap between people working remotely or whenever physical proximity is limited. 

In this session, participants will learn:

👉🏼  How to overcome the estrangement that naturally results from lack of close proximity to coworkers.

👉🏼  How to create a social environment regardless of proximity to coworkers.

👉🏼  How to think like your coworkers to build trust.
