• The Calm Person in the Boat: Leveraging The Power of Emotional Intelligence to Win

• Why Avoiding Difficult (Last 8%) Situations You Face is Sabotaging Your Best Performance

  Most people struggle to have the impact they want to have because they lack the tools to confront the more difficult conversations they face. Avoiding difficult conversations, decisions, and tasks, what we call Last 8% Situations, not only handicaps an organization’s ability to adapt and win but disengages their most important resource, their people. Now is not the time to play safe. As you face a new post-pandemic normal, tough decisions and conversations will have to be made about how you work (and where) in order to realize your organization’s success. In this powerful virtual program, your people will learn specific tools to: -Engage in the difficult conversations and decisions that lead to a high performing culture that drives innovation, engagement, and success. -Create an environment of high psychological safety so people are not afraid to offer new and different ideas, the key to innovation. -Work better, together, in a virtual environment where people struggle to stay focused through long days on Zoom.

• How to Perform Under Pressure

  Your people are facing the most intense challenge of their careers, yet most continue to rely on their IQ and technical skills to manage through. It’s not enough. To survive, your organization needs to be agile and see opportunities where others do not. Your team needs to learn how to work effectively with others who are, themselves, under pressure themselves. In this powerful program, your team will learn: -Specific tools learned from working with high performers in the NFL, NBA, Olympic teams, Navy seals, Goldman Sachs, Intel, among others to be more adaptable, resilient, collaborative and opportunistic. -How to manage their brain so they think, perform and lead under pressure. -The single most important daily habit that increases focus and decreases burnout. -This virtual program is based on a 12,000-person study we did for our New York Times bestselling book, Performing Under Pressure

• The Art of Empathy: Using The Science of Human Behavior

  Today’s work environment requires more, not less, empathy. Not only because people are struggling today but because research is clear that employees are more likely to overachieve if they feel their managers are empathetic. In this virtual program, attendees will learn: -The single greatest cause of a lack of empathy at work. -Why building both Heart and Edge (the ability to care and tune-in and hold people accountable) is so important to get discretionary effort and build a great culture. - How to inspire their people to do great work. - Create an environment of high psychological safety so people are not afraid to offer new and different ideas, the key to innovation. - Work better, together, in a virtual or hybrid environment so people can deliver results.
