We’ve all had experience with two dramatically different types of leaders. The first type drains intelligence, energy, and capability from the people around them and always needs to be the smartest person in the room. These are the idea killers, the energy sappers, the diminishers of talent and commitment. On the other side of the spectrum are leaders who use their intelligence to amplify the smarts and capabilities of the people around them. When these leaders walk into a room, light bulbs go off over people’s heads; ideas flow and problems get solved. These are the leaders who inspire employees to stretch themselves to deliver results that surpass expectations. These are the Multipliers. Which kind of leader do you want to be?

The aphorism “the medium is the message” holds a world of meaning for those who aspire to lead others. Those familiar with the expression will tell you that it underscores the importance of the channel through which you choose to communicate your message (email, face-to-face, et cetera). But, have you considered that you, too, are the medium, and therefore the message? With years of research into social interactions and how we make judgments of others, social psychologist Amy Cuddy weighs in on this question and provides some startling insights into what personal behaviors and characteristics are most certain to promote effective leadership, and how our own body language can not only influence how others perceive us, but how we perceive ourselves. This presentation will teach leaders how to influence the way others perceive them, and how to communicate both trustworthiness and power.

Benjamin Disraeli once observed that “there is no education like adversity.” Our response to adverse times and situations reveals much about our ability to lead and deliver results. Understanding our default response to adversity is the first step to improving it—and emerging as a more resilient leader, team, or organization. The Adversity Quotient© (AQ) stands out as the world’s most scientifically robust and widely used method for measuring and strengthening human resilience. Years of research on the human brain suggest that our patterns of response to adversity can not only be measured, but can also be permanently improved. Join us for this session with Dr. Paul Stoltz, world expert on resilience, who brought AQ to the world through his internationally acclaimed best-selling book, Adversity Quotient: Turning Obstacles into Opportunities.

As a leader, it is critical to tap into the power of language so that you can persuade effectively and communicate credibly in today’s business environment. How? Through the power of framing. Through framing, we define the meaning of "the situation here and now." Are we in a "crisis"? Is this situation merely "a cause for concern"? Should we be on "red-alert"? These are examples of how we frame the situations we face. When we connect with others through our framing, we shape reality. What's more, if we "manage meaning" when others are unable, we emerge as leaders. In this session, strengthen your leadership skills by learning how to frame issues, events, and situations so that you can communicate with clarity and conviction—and motivate others to action.

Life is a series of negotiations. You negotiate every time you try to influence people, or they try to influence you. These negotiations are visible to the eye. But if you think about it, you likely spend a fair amount of time in another set of negotiations as well: those you have with yourself—what Erica Ariel Fox calls the “negotiation within.” For instance, you may wonder: Should I expand my business to build toward my blue sky vision, or play it safe until the economy improves? Confront my direct reports with tough feedback, or just keep going and hope things get better on their own? In 15 years of teaching negotiation at Harvard Law School and training thousands of executives around the world on how to transform conflict, Erica Ariel Fox has had the revelation that the most important negotiations—the ones that determine the impact of our actions and the quality of our lives—are those that we have with ourselves. Ultimately “winning” turns on mastering the “negotiation within.”

During his presidency, Dr. Jamil Mahuad, former president of Ecuador and expert on the emotional dimension of negotiation, ended the longest standing international military conflict in the Western Hemisphere with a definitive Peace Treaty with Peru. His belief: Strong emotions, often seen as distractions in the negotiation process, can actually be used to one’s advantage. We all have emotions, and these emotions deeply inform what we want—and how we go about getting it. In this session, Dr. Mahuad will present strategies for attending to what generates these emotions and how to use them to reach mutually beneficial results. By sharing powerful stories from his presidency, Dr. Mahuad will teach us to be in greater control of our decisions and give us powerful insights into what motivates them.
