Introducing Our Keynote Speaker:

ANDREA FAVILLI

The Power of Creativity

More than ever we—people, companies, organizations and governments—need to change our thinking. With challenges of unprecedented complexity in every aspect of daily life, we must embrace new ways of thinking and working that span the boundaries of classical knowledge and application. Creativity must increase not only to spark innovation and sustainable success, but also to reinforce the idea that artists and scientists are more alike than different and well-equipped to work at the nexus of our time—where art, technology and science converge. 

This nexus demands that creativity play an ever-increasing and vital role to solve the complex challenges set before all of us today.


 

Introducing Our Speakers:

PADRAIG BERRY

The Dangerous Book for CEOs

There are no magic bullets in life or in effectively building and running an organization. There are approaches, though, that—if focused on consistently over time—do lead to a greater chance of success.

While writing The Dangerous Book for CEOs, it became clear to Padraig that the roles of “leader” and “manager” were often used interchangeably despite fundamental differences. Without clear guidance and support, the transition from manager to leader can be challenging enough without blurring the lines between the two.

This session will detail how to build superior organizational performance through individual actions and behaviors, how to create the conditions for people in your organization to do the right thing, and how to share the power and responsibility of leadership through effective talent management.

You will discover:

  • The difference between leading and managing
  • A model of the keystone habits for effective leadership
  • A practical toolkit to take away and implement

With a life-long interest in human and business performance improvement, Padraig Berry has been working for over 30 years as a Business Coach and Strategist. A high energy, clear and focused thinker with a direct and pragmatic style, his passion is helping CEOs to get clear, get focused and get going to take themselves and their organizations forward. Padraig believes that culture eats strategy for breakfast—that a world-class team pursuing their passions with a clear economic driver and business model is unbeatable. Padraig holds a BA from ATU (Ireland) and an MBA from ESSEC (France).

DR. JEREMY GRAVES

The Leader Paradox

We often associate the idea of leadership with words like power, authority and charisma. But historically, the people who make lasting positive change know true leadership is about developing individuals and building a community around a shared purpose.

These Servant Leaders put the people they lead first, empower them, help them develop their full personal capacities and unlock their potential, creativity and sense of purpose. The Servant Leader moves beyond the transactional aspects of management, and instead actively seeks to develop and align an employee's sense of purpose with the company mission.

This session will allow you to think differently about leadership and team development and gain useful tools to lead effectively while keeping focused on those who are a part of your organization. Using the ideas of personal integrity, good communication, foresight, collaboration and continuous team development, you will gain a practical understanding of your leadership so that you can implement a culture of servant leadership within your organization.

You will uncover how to:

  • Compare and contrast Power Leadership with Servant Leadership
  • Examine your own leadership style as it relates to the Servant Leader Model
  • Create a personal plan to develop Servant Leadership attitudes and behaviors
  • Develop a plan to grow engaged and empowered employees within your organization

Dr. Jeremy Graves is passionate about people development. Specifically around teams, organizational development, leadership and Generational Synchronicity, Jeremy has a strong desire to see individuals and organizations assess their current leadership pipeline and develop, implement, train and deploy leaders within their organization. He holds a doctorate in transformational leadership and works in both for profit and non-profit circles.

DR. FRANCIS EBERLE

Lost in Translation: Engaging Teams Remotely

The past few years have left many of us feeling trapped between the in-person and the digital world. Our intended messages are often lost in translation between Slack conversations, endless emails and long Zoom calls.

However, digital communication—particularly for remote teams—is simple once you recognize the traps of cultural bias, mental health, time and platforms. During this session, Dr. Francis Eberle offers tips to help your messages stick and engage your remote teams while avoiding the frustration of miscommunication.

You will learn:

  • How to recognize the unique power of effective remote work
  • That technology is only a part of the solution to leading remote teams
  • Strategies and techniques promoting effective digital team interaction

TANJA YARDLEY

An Innovation Success Story

We often hear about groundbreaking innovation stories—those that revolutionize industries, make start-ups into superstars and help dying companies pivot into money-makers. Those might be the flashy news stories, but they don’t always reflect the real, and perhaps most impactful, innovation success stories of today’s business world.

In truth, you don’t need one big idea to create a cycle of success and engagement in your organization. You need a team focused on idea generation, creative and futuristic thinking and implementing a repeatable innovation process.

In this session, Tanja Yardley will share how The Innovator’s Advantage and TTI Success Insights tools helped to propel a ground-breaking health-tech company to the top of its industry—and strategies to help you and your clients do the same.

You will take away:

  • Ideas on how to build your own Innovation Flywheel
  • Tools to spark creative thinking
  • A scalable framework for innovation

You will gain:
• A new model for understanding yourself and tips to use this knowledge to grow your leadership abilities
• An understanding of how assessment tools align with this unique model
• A tool for exploring your top leadership values
