For Leaders Overwhelmed
With Change
Are you navigating new trends or
being encouraged to “return to normal”?
It’s hard to remember when we did not talk about a “return to normal” or “post-COVID life”. The reality is we have always pushed the boundaries of what is possible, innovated, and re-defined a “new normal” in our work and leisure lives. You may be trying to grow your team or your business when everyone is remote – and wants to stay that way. You may be scrapping a traditional budget to find new sources of revenue – and how to pay for them. When you bring Larry in as your next keynote speaker, your attendees will see these (and other) types of challenges as golden opportunities to grow!
KEYNOTE TOPICS
Building a World-Class Team in a Time of Change
Creating a culture and support for continuous training is the secret to every organization’s success. Yet many organizations lack a strategy within and across teams to empower their workforce to respond to rapid changes, new trends, and evolving technologies. This session outlines the right ingredients you need for your workforce development strategy. You are only four steps away from recruiting, retaining, and growing the best workforce to achieve your mission!
The Post-Pandemic Professional
The COVID-19 pandemic has upended all norms and will transform the future of every organization moving forward. The “return to normal” remains undefined because we are moving so far in a different direction. This session outlines the steps you can take now to lead your team or organization into your new normal for future growth, navigate through the pandemic, and achieve your mission.
Zero-Based Budgeting for the Organization You Need
Zero-based budgeting, first popularized in the 1970s, could be your best approach to workforce development and strategic planning in the 2020s. Pretend your organization is just opening its doors this year: same mission and same need, but no resources and no revenue. How can it fulfill its mission on day one? This program adapts the basic principles of zero-based budgeting to help your organization establish a workforce development or strategic plan, and de-clutter from the legacies, programs, and “way we’ve always done things” that complicate budgets and growth in uncertain times.
