Following the 2020 Leadership Forum Community Summit, a Leadership Lab team was established to address the challenge of Leadership through COVID-19. The exploration included interviewing over 100 leaders that spanned multiple industries, generations, and geographies to learn what it took to lead this year. This event will share trends and insights from those interviews.
  • Participants will learn what approaches, mindsets and behaviors worked for leaders in 2020, and get tips on how to move forward in the year to come. 
  • We’ll also bring to life many of the rich findings from the leaders’ through their shared stories, visual framing, and a narrative of core themes.
This session is ideal for any leader or any professional who is working with leaders, including coaches, consultants, HR,  and learning and development experts.

Additional Resources are available related to this Incubating Leadership Conversation through this link to Participate.  They include a whitepaper, annotated slides, participant reflections from chat, and a audio recording of the 12/9/2020 session.

In 2021 we are excited to introduce "LFC Conversations", a simple way to provide space for collective reflection and conversation on the issues of the day. We will offer these periodically as we continue to nurture and grow our community.  These discussions will have a focal point, but are not fundamentally about content; it's more about the simplicity of time to connect. Insights are likely, action is up to you! 
 
Our first LFC Conversation introduced a courageous dialogue approach using a new tool named “I See You” (https://cometta.co/i-see-you) This approach involves listening, storytelling, perspective taking, and co-creation. It can be used in communities and organizations to build shared understanding, unite, heal, repair, and cultivate more authentic and collaborative cultures. This tool was created by one of our Leadership Lab teams coming out of the 2020 Summit.  It is designed for online conversations to foster broader connection and shared understanding.

Adaptability Quotient:
The New Competitive Advantage
 

by Mandy Williams
Adaptability is a critical quality that employers seek in early 21st-century employees. We live in an era of risk and instability filled with rapid changes in technology, diversity and society. In the current age of technology and instant access to information, companies need employees who are open to new ideas, flexible enough to work through challenging issues, and are generally able to cope when things do not go as planned. All this uncertainty poses a tremendous challenge for the individual being asked to adapt. Fortunately, there are ways to adapt to change, and even to take advantage of it. The adaptable person, or team, will adjust and find how best to perform in the new situation.

​Presented April 15, 2020 by Todd Cherches

​We all know that in this day and age, the “old school” approach to learning and development just doesn’t fly anymore. Especially when delivering your content online! And yet, so many of us continue to do things the same old way. Yes, attendees still expect facilitators, trainers, and/or instructors to impart knowledge and share with them the wisdom of their experience; but they also want, need, and expect to be actively involved and engaged in the learning process from start to finish.

In this interactive, visual thinking-based workshop, you will be briefly introduced to Todd Cherches’s “Five Core Competencies of an Effective Instructor” model, along with a valuable mix of other innovative and inspiring tools, tips, and techniques that will immediately equip, enable, and empower you to enhance your effectiveness. Whether you train or teach in-person or online, by the end of this 90-minute session you will have gained a variety of new insights while adding a few new tricks to your trainer toolkit, so that you will immediately be better able to Educate, Engage, & ExciteTM your audiences.

Below the Surface Leadership: The Key to Building Amazing Relationships with People that are Different from You

3/25/2020

Presented March 25, 2020 by LaTonya Wilkins

Picture
Did you know that underrepresented groups are more likely to feel alienated at work and leave their jobs than their colleagues? Also, people that are not underrepresented still have a hard time organically connecting with people different from them. For organizations trying to build exemplary cultures, this effect can be challenging. How can you better connect with employees that are different from you? We all want to but have not quite figured it out.

Diversity programs help us increase our numbers but don’t truly help us connect with others. In this talk/workshop, you will learn natural techniques to help you connect with others that are different from you. Using science-based strategies, you will learn what you have been doing wrong and how you can build the amazing culture you have always wanted.

Presented January 23, 2020 By Bill Jensen
Leading and managing others is never just about them or the team’s mission. You bring your whole self to how you focus, motivate, and coach others.

In this Leadership Forum webinar, Bill Jensen takes you through the three core questions he’s asked senior executives across the globe when coaching them behind closed doors — focusing on their personal passions, strengths, challenges, and agility. He’ll then connect-the-dots between those introspective reflections and how they translate into successfully managing projects and teams, as well as motivating everyone around you.

A recording of this webinar is available on the Members Only page.  Once you join as a member you will have access to all past webinar recordings.
