Biography
Jay Conger holds the Henry R. Kravis Chaired Professor of Leadership Studies at Claremont McKenna College. As an executive educator and coach, he has worked with over six hundred organizations in his twenty-five-year career. An outstanding teacher, the Financial Times and other business periodicals ranked him as one of the world's top management educators. He works with individuals and organizations to create unique learning experiences that accelerate and celebrate the potential of leaders.
Jay grew up in Washington DC where dinner time conversations were all about leadership. His father's work at the US State Department and the White House involved extensive contact with world leaders. He shared his observations about what made certain ones more effective than others. These revelations inspired Jay to want to lead. From his own leadership experiences in business and in politics, he learned firsthand the requirements and challenges of leading. Over the years of leading and studying leadership, he discovered a set of remarkable patterns that characterize how truly effective leaders learn, act, and communicate. He explored the pathways and techniques to developing these capabilities which he shares in highly engaging and practical ways with audiences.
He is the author of fifteen books on leadership. His most recent book The High Potentials Advantage (Harvard Business Review Press) reveals the five essential qualities required of today's organizational leaders.

The Necessary Art of Persuasion
This workshop brings to life the insights from Jay’s best-selling Harvard Business Review article The Necessary Art of Persuasion and his popular book Winning’ Em Over. You will learn how to apply the four foundational practices of constructive persuasion to a real life persuasion situation you are facing. Along the way, you will discover that persuasion is a learning process where you lead your colleagues to a problem’s shared solution rather than the delivery of a tightly scripted monologue.
Leveraging the Spotlight on Your Leadership
Anyone in a leadership role receives an inordinate amount of attention. Your words in a meeting today will become someone’s dinner time conversation tonight. This presentation calls out the power of this natural spotlight that focuses on every leader’s words and actions - for better or worse. You will learn how leaders can harness the power of this attention to more effectively lead others rather than be harmed by it.
