KEYNOTE SESSION DESCRIPTION
“The Surprising Power of Respect”
Leading teams through nonstop change is draining. You race to deliver results with fewer resources while tending to your team's human needs. But what if you could rapidly boost teamwork, agility, and inclusion without adding another complicated framework to your overloaded plate?
In this rousing 45-minute keynote, leadership strategist Gena Cox shares a delightful, unfussy 3-step method to amplify your impact. You will experience how this lightweight yet scalable model can enhance team collaboration, inclusion, and knowledge-sharing without distracting you from other operational priorities.
Drawing on research from psychology and business, Gena blends emotion and insight to lead you to lightweight but scalable and durable actions that can engage employees. You’ll feel inspired and equipped to help your team members rise to new heights of connection, trust, and collaboration that drive business results and team cohesion.
The tool is lightweight, but the impact is substantial: your renewed leadership mojo and a team that believes, despite the odds, “We’ve got this!”
You will leave this session with renewed confidence that you CAN make that positive difference that drew you to leadership in the first place.
Are you ready to feel the remarkable power of respect?
