HAVING HARD CONVERSATIONS IS GOOD FOR BUSINESS: HOW TO RESPOND TO THE BLM MOVEMENT AUTHENTICALLY AND APPROPRIATELY.

The murder of George Floyd on May 25th highlighted on a global scale what Black, Indigenous, and People of Color have experienced since the birth of our country.

The trauma and tragedy we are suffering as a nation are palpable, and it is impossible to isolate everything you think, feel, and experience personally from how you show up professionally.

One of the opportunities I'm seeing in the power of this new civil rights movement is the breadth and depth of conversations that are being initiated. Across industries, individuals and organizations are asking what they can do and how they can help.

ACCELERATE LEADERSHIP BRILLIANCE.

Organizations face many challenges - the economy, demanding markets and stakeholders, competition, and growth. One of the most significant challenges is finding quality employees and developing their talent so they become “assets with facets” focused on being breakthrough contributors to the organization’s success.

• Leader and team members will be inspired to:
• Contribute to the success of clients, partners, and their team by bringing out the best in themselves
• Create their future by becoming self-motivated, productive, and engaged in their work
• Operate in their brilliance and bring out the brilliance in others
• Be innovative in their approach to team building and engagement
• Create harmony in their teams and organizational partners, bringing about higher level of performance

Attendees will become empowered to use their own strengths and develop core skills to collaborate with others, contributing to higher levels of productivity and organizational success.

SHIFT YOUR BRILLIANCE: LEADING AMIDST CHANGE AND UNCERTAINTY.

Business change moves at the speed of light. To keep pace, individuals within an organization must raise the bar on their performance and reset their mindset. The leadership skills of yesterday will not carry the day in today’s continually evolving economy.

As the business climate changes in the midst of gender parity, #MeToo, pay equity, and diversity and inclusion we too must change and embrace what Simon T. Bailey calls the “Vuja de Moment.” This is the opposite of déjà vu and is an invitation to disrupt what is comfortable and convenient to embrace what needs to emerge to remain relevant, innovative, and competitive.

Collaborative problem-solving triumphs over traditional top-down directives. Solution-oriented individuals are forward-looking in their thinking.  Forward-looking thinking must permeate throughout the corporate culture. You must shift and embrace new methodologies to survive, compete and thrive through the ever-changing demographic, technological, and regulatory marketplace changes that affect businesses today. 

No one is immune to these predictable changes. The traditional winning formulas of yesterday will not hold up to the technological solutions that will continue to automate “traditional” business processes.

Simon T. Bailey will teach you to:

• Stay relevant and ensure your company stays competitive in the marketplace
• Guide even the most tenured employees to reposition themselves and revitalize their role
• Perform a mindset reset to break through the existing paradigm
• Maintain clarity and confidence during transition and uncertainty
• Give participants actionable tools to take ownership and develop the vision needed to be a leader for the future

BRAND THE MOMENT: ESTABLISH A CULTURE WHERE EVERYONE MATTERS.

How can you establish a culture where everyone feels that he or she matters, their voice is heard, and they play a vital role in the success of the team and the company?

Everything Simon knows, has seen, and has studied comes down to this evidence-based truth: Culture + Connection + Customers = Revenue.

A leader’s objectives will likely always be tied directly or indirectly to revenue, profit, or the bottom line. However, the process for achieving true success always begins with Culture. Culture is created by leaders who foster conditions that are sustainable for growth and through what many would call random acts of kindness that produce emotional and memorable experiences for team members.

Using our SPARK model, Simon T. Bailey shares that these acts should be anything but random. They are intentional moments that collectively become the glue for team loyalty, inclusiveness, and cohesiveness. These acts can be taught and operationalized in any organization. The process enables a leader and an organization to be purposeful about team bonding or delivering honest, candid feedback in a respectful, authentic manner that motivates, supports, and encourages team members to become breakthrough contributors to the organization’s success.

Participants will learn how to:

• Establish a Culture where everyone matters
• Create a deeper Connection with team members
• Spark a relationship with Customers for life

These 3 Cs begin and end with brilliant leaders who brand the moments for employees and customers.
