Internationally Acclaimed Speaker
Dr. Wayne Pernell

While most leaders acknowledge that having a “good culture” is of importance, they often delegate – or even abdicate – the creation of that culture, doing so to their detriment. Culture comes from the top.  A solid culture, one that team members readily lean into and support, yields greater engagement and a stronger bottom line. The concept of “caring” in a corporate setting is often confused for some weakness. What we now know is that what were once seen as the “softer skills” are those that promote creativity and engender loyalty.

Key take-aways for audience members:

• A keen understanding of what company culture actually is.
• Why a Culture of Caring is so vital, especially now.
• Key steps to building the culture of caring as you want it to be.

We know deep down that we are bigger than the life we’re leading. We’ve somehow hidden away our unique talent as an individual. We tell ourselves that we’ll come back to it, “someday.” When we follow the path of “supposed to,” we put off doing what really drives us. Both individually and organizationally, we need to come back to our heart. Listening to that far off voice “over here,” we become guided anew. Old desires of “someday” reawaken and both creativity and productivity begin to blossom like never before. It’s possible to have a fulfilled life without giving up the success that got you here. This keynote inspires you to think bigger and reclaim what really matters to you.

Audience Members Will Come Away With:

• Feeling a renewed permission for living life fully.
• A broader understanding of their circumstances.
• Steps for taking greater control in building the life – and organization – that they
  love.

How often have we heard, “Be realistic” or “Be reasonable” as cries for compliance to a mediocre world? We learn certain rules, the “right” way to do something. We track metrics that no longer make sense, but those are the measures of success we’ve always used. What if there were a different way to measure success? What if we redefined success and recalibrated the way we got there. What if we leveraged the power of being unreasonable? Besides cats, we need to think outside of the box. More than just a cute, overused saying, this keynote teaches you:

• How to identify the stories that have kept you captive.
• What to do when you uncover mediocrity in your midst (and oh, it’s there!).
• Why being unreasonable creates the leverage for breakthrough success.
