According to Gallup, only 32% of the workforce is engaged in their work. Disengaged employees have more absences, are less productive, and can negatively impact workplace morale. On the other hand, when employees have a strong sense of belonging and engagement, they perceive more options to solve problems, are more insightful, collaborate better, and have higher overall performance.

Research shows that emotional intelligence and learned optimism are strong predictors of successful leaders. This is where Leading with Courage, Connection, and Compassion can help. The LEADS Framework stands for: Leans in to Build Belonging and Trust, Engages Employees’ Purpose, Appreciates and Acknowledges All Stakeholders, Demonstrates Empathy and Compassion, Shows Up With Intentional Presence.

It’s about learning to strengthen our self-awareness, compassion, and resilience while also increasing focus, productivity, and strategic thinking. It’s about the ability to strengthen employee engagement, a sense of belonging and connection to the organization, and the capacity to cultivate innovative changemakers.

Pulling weeds does not grow gardens. If we want our employees and organizations to flourish, we need to cultivate the environment in ways that cause people to bloom. Using research-based principles and strategies from the fields of Positive Psychology, Social Psychology, Leadership, and Emotional Intelligence, in this highly active and engaging session, participants will learn the fundamentals of leading with courage, connection, and compassion and how to use those superpowers to create a culture in which both the individuals and the organization can thrive."
