Thriving in the Storm
Speaker: Tina Evans

 No matter what sector you are in, you are likely facing never-before-seen challenges. As executives, you are expected to navigate yourself, team, organization, and customers through the storm as smoothly as possible. Since leaders define culture – for good or ill – the organization’s true culture reveals itself in times of stress and crises. In this session, you will receive techniques to help you guide your organization through the four stages of thriving in any crisis and provide you with a battlemap to lead in a healthy, objective way. You will learn:

  • How to reframe your mindset to shift from simply surviving to thriving.
  • How you can respond to customer needs and steady your internal organization reality.
  • Leadership tools that will support you in building a healthy culture.

The Power of WEI: Welcoming, Engaging, and Including Others
Speakers: Clifton Taulbert

 When Others Matter, Lives Change!

Clifton Taulbert artfully crafts a universal conversation with practical outcomes wherever we may find ourselves—within the arenas of where we live, play, study and work. Taulbert draws from his early life experience of growing up on the Mississippi Delta during the era of legal segregation—but also the place where he encountered the Power of WEI, the transforming presence of others who WELCOMED HIM, ENGAGED HIM and INCLUDED HIM. According to Taulbert, “We should never underestimate the impact of our presence upon others.”

In this program, audience members will be challenged to:

  • Embrace WEI as their daily fare
  • Embrace our “Shared Humanity” which leads to Opportunity
  • Realize how “One Person” can Make a Difference
