4. Unwavering Accountability – fostering a culture of ownership for all outcomes;
5. Integrity-Driven Trust – taking minor risks while cultivating robust relationships foundational to influence and collaboration;
6. Exemplary Standards – leaving a legacy which embody high benchmarks that inspire excellence.

Participants will walk-through each of the “arms” – what they represent, why they matter an how to strengthen them without feeling like being pulled apart.

As a most engaging presentation, using humor, relatability and insight for a leadership audience.  It blends actionable frameworks with strategic insights.  Participants will leave equipped with a clear model to enhance their leadership capacity, strengthen their team’s performance, and ultimately drive superior results in their organizations.
