The top issue on the minds of C-Suite Execs? Attraction and retention of top talent. The problem? Workplace incivility. Harvard Business Review found that 99% of workers reported that they experienced incivility in the workplace! The cost of incivility on corporate bottom lines is staggering and the younger workers will quickly leave an organization whose values and behaviors don’t match their own. By introducing a seemingly “small” concept – civility – organizations can turn the tide. This talk focuses on the impact of toxic cultures, why we are reticent to take on culture, why it’s critical that we focus on increasing the cultural health of our organizations, and specific things that anyone can do – today – to create a positive impact on their cultures.

In the late 2010’s we knew the pace of change was speeding up. Then came COVID and working from home – the shakeup for which no organization was prepared! As we continue in the new world of change and disruption, how can we adapt more quickly to what feels like the ever-changing needs of our organization? How do we develop resilience – both as individuals and as an organization? Furthermore, organizations are feeling challenged to redefine the roles of leaders, which is hard since the way we’ve done things in the past used to work. But we’re finding out that 21st Century Leadership is VERY different from before. In this talk, Janine helps normalize the overwhelm that we are all feeling with the unrelenting pace of change and lays out tools that people can use TODAY to begin developing resilience to weather these fluctuations. She discusses how leaders can support their teams through change and outlines the key things leaders must embrace to be effective in the 21st Century.

Every company has a culture. More than salaries, benefits, or perks, the employees of today care about working for an organization that shares their values. In an age of statistical “full-employment,” creating these cultures is the key to the #1 issue on the minds of C-Suite executives: hiring and retention of top talent. But, do your people understand your culture, and can your leaders leverage your culture to achieve your goals? This talk focuses on creating a culture that yields a sustainable competitive advantage by aligning your values with the way your company operates, and the way your teams behave, to achieve outstanding results. We explore how to connect the mission of your organization to what your people care about. Your people discover how to identify what “meaningful work” means to them…and how to find that every day in what they already do! We delve into “workplace” – when many are working remotely. Participants leave with hands-on tools to manage change resiliently.
