With emergence from COVID-19, your people are facing increased uncertainty, change, and anxiety. Unfortunately, panic can push the best managers into a command and control approach that doesn’t always help. It doesn’t have to be this way.

In this powerful virtual or live experience, your people will learn how to:

• Tune into the challenges their people are facing.
• Lead with empathy and strength
• Use brain-based strategies to manage fear and emotions so they can be resilient, a source of calm in your organization and help people be their best in the most trying situations.
• Influence & engage others who are at a distance and themselves feeling overwhelmed emotionally.

“I watch a fair amount of virtual programs and this was one of the best. I loved how the information was supported by science, brought to life by real life experiences, as well as tangible tools you can follow-up with.”

– United Health Group

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

“Best online presentation I have ever attended. Different than the usual: interactive and engaging, yet highly substantive. Huge success.”

– Morgan Stanley

There are three trends roiling the workplace today. One, your people are tired: on average they have been working three hours more per day during Covid and are on the verge of burnout. Two: your people have more money in their pocket because of the past year of little to no spending. And, three, your people are struggling with the idea of returning to the office (and commuting and…).

All of this is creating a challenge for your managers to engage and get the best out of your people because your people are not sure they are ready to buy into the plan for 2021.

To navigate through this will require more empathy than ever before: not only because people are struggling today and are facing more change, but because research is clear that employees are more likely to overachieve if they feel their managers are empathetic.

In this powerful program, your people will learn:

• What the single greatest cause of a lack of empathy at work is.
• Why Heart and Edge matters so much to culture. Heart is the ability to care and tune-in and, Edge is the ability to be direct and hold people accountable. Finding this balance is at the center of getting buy-in and discretionary effort from people.
• 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.
• How to work better, together, in a virtual, hybrid or in-person environment so people can feel part of a team and deliver results.
