Fail Forward: Developing Resilient Leaders

A resilient leader is someone at any level of the organization that communicates powerfully, champions change and innovation, and is able to build trust and relationships that translate to established credibility.  Playing it safe doesn’t equal success, and instead spells disaster.  Great leaders are able to fail fast, fail forward by learning from their mistakes, and remain agile in their thought processes allowing them to adapt quickly.

You know a resilient leader by their ability to utilize failure as a catalyst to drive them toward the best resolutions to the most difficult problems, and as a result, these leaders have been proven to be more productive, engaged, and higher performing.  These skills are more important than ever to organizations who are needing to maintain the rapid pace of change in a climate of challenges such as strained and diminished resources, increased responsibilities, and an evolving economy.

Learn to manage and navigate change, balance adversity, develop agility, embrace a growth mindset, and create a resilience toolbox to take yourself, your team, and your organization to the next level.

The Happiness Factor: Taking Advantage of Positivity

Brain Links to Peak Performance

Dr. Sanchez provides a fast-paced and engaging keynote which addresses myths regarding peak performance and key motivators. She utilizes engaging research to debunk the myths that most companies and schools follow which is the formula- hard work equals more success and happiness.

Dr. Sanchez will discuss current research brought forth by one of the most prominent thought leaders in the industry regarding trends towards maintaining the Happiness Factor that was learned by researching top performers at Harvard, the world’s largest banks, and Fortune 500 companies.

The Missing Ingredient & Secret Weapon: Emotional Intelligence 

Challenging Highly Engaging Organizations to Change Culture with Intelligent Emotions

The research is clear that Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the single most effective and important driver of an engaged, results-driven, high performing workforce, especially in environments that are in a constant state of flux, or, are undergoing significant change and disruption.

The single most important question a manager or leader can ask themselves is, “Why would anyone want to be led me?” Answering this question honestly can enable a leader to unlock the potential and creativity of their people and be the secret weapon to catalyze engagement. Consider this, every morning your employees make the choice to get up and go to work, but they also choose whether or not to be engaged and productive once they arrive at work. Research indicates that the number one reason employees choose to be engaged and productive at work has nothing to do with a manager’s level of IQ or technical capabilities, but rather, the missing ingredient and secret weapon that every manager can have at their disposal, that is, the manager’s level of Emotional Intelligence (EI).
