The Intention Imperative
3 Essential Change That Will Make You A Better Leader Today
Nobody ever got to the top of Mount Everest accidentally. Summiting the highest peak in the world takes clarity and intention; and so does leading successfully.
Intentional Leadership = Clarity (knowing clearly where you want to go) + Intentionality (taking consistent action to get there). Clarity without consistent action is daydreaming. Consistent action without clarity is wasted time and effort.
Just as the tools of successful mountaineering have changed and improved over time, so have the requirements of intentional leadership. Based on 33 years of working with organizations globally, teaching leaders and observing powerful shifts, Mark Sanborn has identified three essential areas of focus for leaders in the world.
YOUR AUDIENCE WILL RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF:
Inspiration: motivation to the power of purpose
Culture: creating the engine that sustains vision and values while achieving desired results
Emotion: designing for and delivering positive emotion for customers and employees
The Potential Principle
How The Best Get Better
How do you keep getting better if you are already among the best? This is a critical question for successful leaders and organizations. What happens when complacency, outdated thinking or weariness stunts performance? What do leaders do when growth stalls, or when their teams are working below their true potential?
In this presentation, Mark Sanborn provides the answer and teaches four powerful tools your audience can use to pursue their potential.
YOUR AUDIENCE WILL LEARN:
Why you must pursue your potential and not settle for simply achieving your goals
How to disrupt yourself before somebody else does
Three ways to become laser-focused on doing things that produce the biggest results
A powerful way to think that gives you a competitive advantage over others

Build better relationships with customers and colleagues to improve overall work performance
Create new value for others without spending a dime
