It's rarely issues of skill, talent or ability that take down leaders and entrepreneurs. Often, it's the soft issues—things like cynicism, compromise, pride, burnout, disconnectedness, emptiness, and even irrelevance can sideline even the best leaders. The question is; can you see issues like this coming? Fortunately, you can. In this session, Carey Nieuwhof explores how cynicism and other challenges emerge and he walks through the steps you need to take to find a way through to a powerful and more vibrant future.”
Nobody sets out at 18 to be cynical, jaded and disillusioned by age 35, but it happens all the time. Cynicism is almost an epidemic these days. Is it just inevitable that you grow cynical? Fortunately, it’s not. Once a cynic, not always a cynic. There is an antidote and some practical steps you can take to reclaim your optimism.
Life has never felt busier, and the demands on people’s time have never been greater. Most leaders struggle with how to get it all done, and everyone pays a price: your company, your family, and you. In this talk, Carey shows you a proven method that’s helped thousands of leaders get time, energy and priorities working for them, not against them so they can get their life and leadership back.
Every leader at some level leads change. And change almost always elicits opposition. So how do you navigate change without giving up your dream for what could and should be, or without blowing your organization apart? In this talk, Carey leads you through five principles that have helped hundreds of organizations lead change without losing it.
