Every single organization on the planet, even our own careers, always function on three levels. What we do, How we do it and Why we do it.
When all those pieces are aligned, it gives us a filter through which to make decisions. It provides a foundation for innovation. When all three pieces are in balance, others will say, with absolute clarity and certainty,
“We know who you are,” “We know what you stand for.”
Whether they realize it or not, all great and inspiring leaders and organizations think, act and communicate just like each other…and it’s the complete opposite from everyone else.

What is your greatest struggle as a designer? Whatever it is, we invite you to bring it to this talk. In fact, consider this a free hour-long therapy session. In this talk we will explore all things frustrating, challenging, and/or mysterious about being a designer (whether freelance, in-house or agency). What do I do with this client that won't stop texting me? What do I do with this mediocre work that emerged after my latest design-by-committee experience? Why do I regret my latest hire? When did I promote my client to be my art director? This talk is funny, inspirational, and directional in HOW we respond to the less-than-glamorous side of design and business. Join us for a refreshing look at what we all question, but NEVER talk about. You may want to bring your flask.

NetSpeed Learning Solutions - Thought Leader Webinar Series - Bill Treasurer ...Cynthia Clay
Discover how great leaders create meaningful opportunities for challenge and growth
People and organizations grow and develop when they intentionally pursue goals and challenges that stretch their skills and test their mettle. This workshop focuses on aligning the needs of the organization with the career aspirations of those they lead. Great leaders are opportunity-creators; they "open doors" of opportunity for others.
Drawing on the concepts introduced in the bestselling leadership training book, Leaders Open Doors (ATD Press, 2014), participants learn radically simple ways to help people and organizations grow by creating challenging and meaningful opportunities. The emphasis is on equipping participants with specific actions and take aways that can be immediately applied back on the job. A leader has two primary jobs; 1. Leave the organization better off than you found it, and 2. Leave people better off than you found them. This webinar will help leaders accomplish both!

We will take a look at how company culture, generational views, and leadership styles make “managing up” challenging. We will also break down the common myths about executive management, and explore what they really expect from their leadership team.
