Make Your Business Human - The 4 Human Truths that Drive Personal, Professional, and Organizational Success

In the not-so-distant past, business success was defined entirely by
money. The bigger you were, the better; the more profitable you were, the
more successful your business. End of story.
Today, though, society is increasingly interested in how that success
happens. Employees are no longer willing to work for companies whose
ideals they don’t support or whose profits come by any means necessary,
and customers are quick to abandon businesses that are insensitive or selfabsorbed. In the past, one bad advertisement was an embarrassment;
today, one inflammatory tweet can be fatal.
The businesses that will succeed in the future will not be the ones that spend
all their time thinking about how to sell more products and services at higher
margins. Rather, they will be the businesses that recognize the common
human needs and motivations that govern employee and customer
behavior. Make Your Business Human is a transformative keynote that
focuses not on the differences that so many of us seem fixated on (Boomer
vs. Millennial, Leadership vs. Workforce), but on four profound similarities
we all share. Organizations which understand, honor, and harness the
qualities that make us human will outperform their peers in creating
memorable customer experiences and true workforce engagement.
This shift in perspective is not theoretical. It’s already happening. If you
want to be on the leading edge of tomorrow’s success, then you need to be
leading The Human Way.

Stop Acting Your Age! (generational issues)

If you’ve listened to any other discussion about generational issues at work,
then you’ve undoubtedly been told there are four distinct generations
operating side-by-side in today’s working world. You’ve then been told the
differences between those four generations, and then you’ve been told
(although probably not in these exact words) that you need to just deal with
all these different people, because they’re not going away and they’re not
going to change how they operate. If that advice suits you, fantastic.
However, if you’ve ever been frustrated by how impossible it seems to
employ four different strategies to manage four distinct generations, and if
you’ve ever felt like you’re the only one who’s being asked to make any
changes, then Stop Acting Your Age! is exactly what you need. Because it
turns out that there really aren’t four generations. In this hysterical keynote,
you’ll learn a simpler way of looking at your own generational picture, and
you’ll also learn how to understand, recognize, and resolve every
generational issue facing today’s workforce. That’s no exaggeration; by the
end of Stop Acting Your Age!, you and your colleagues will walk away with
all of the knowledge you’ll need to address 100% of the generational issues
you’ll face for the rest of your career. Other generational presentations
focus on what people want, but Stop Acting Your Age! will tell you why
everyone wants the different things they do. It’s an important distinction,
and it will make implementing new solutions easier than you ever thought
possible.
So get ready to laugh more and learn more than you ever thought
possible. Because improving your generational issues doesn’t have to be
boring. ...less
You’re Not an Acronym: A Practical Approach to Leadership

If you’ve been a leader for a while or are being groomed to become one,
then you’ve probably taken your fair share of personality tests. Perhaps you
know your Woo strength, or maybe you’ve recently discovered that you’re a
purple triangle when you’re stressed. If this kind of information is all you
need in order to be the kind of leader your people are excited to follow, then
you probably don’t need to keep reading this.
But if you’ve ever suspected that leadership may be about more than just
you, then You’re Not an Acronym is the kind of leadership presentation you’ll
truly appreciate. Matt Havens has spent over a decade in various leadership
positions at a Fortune 25 company. He’s taken dozens of personality
assessments, and he’s recognized a fundamental flaw in the way that all of
them attempt to help people become better leaders. By addressing and then
correcting this oversight, You’re Not An Acronym will help you expand your
understanding of leadership exponentially – and you’ll do it while laughing all
the while. Because not only is this one of the most insightful leadership
keynotes you’ll ever sit through, it’s also one of the funniest. After all, boring
isn’t a business requirement. So get ready to enjoy the process of becoming
a more effective leader more than you ever thought possible! ...less
