    Leadership Offense Strategies: Motivating, Coaching, and Developing Talent to Meet the Challenges of Today’s Modern Workplace

    Building the muscle of your senior and frontline operational leadership teams is a wise investment that strengthens your people practices and culture. What makes managers excel lies in their ability to inspire, develop talent, and turn around flagging teams by creating a safe space for employees to do their very best work every day with peace of mind. Join Paul Falcone, author of the five-book Paul Falcone Workplace Leadership Series, 75 Ways for Managers to Hire, Develop, and Keep Great Employees, and 101 Tough Conversations to Have with Employees to drive higher employee performance and engagement by:

    • Coaching and motivating those who report to you, even when merit budgets are tight and internal promotion opportunities are scarce.
    • Implementing an engagement strategy that leaves no one behind and that invites everyone to reinvent themselves in light of your organization’s changing needs.
    • Engaging in stay interviews and “job sculpting” exercises to engage your top performers who you can’t afford to lose.
    • Mastering remote leadership in terms of “managing the unseen,” establishing an achievement mindset, and potentially returning workers to the office.
    • Creating and sustaining a culture based on trust, respect, and open communication to counter the negative effects of work and societal overload.

    Whether you’re looking to become someone’s favorite boss, coach, or mentor, build stronger teams that thrive on recognition and real-time feedback, or develop a reputation for inspirational leadership, this keynote session will help you build managerial muscle around one of today’s biggest challenges for employers—driving discretionary effort, agility, and accountability while reengaging and energizing your teams.
