    Most leadership development focuses on a single direction within the organizational hierarchy: downstream to subordinates. While it is important to be a good boss, leadership is much more than that. The best leaders learn to lead well in all directions: upward to their superiors and across among their peers. And all leadership starts with self-leadership. This often overlooked or misunderstood leadership principle is essential to build a thriving and productive organizational culture. This topic is based on Jon's new book, Mission-Critical Leadership: How Smart Managers Lead Well in All Directions, published in April 2021.

    Objectives

    • Identify the 2 R's of leadership and how they shape your leadership style.
    • Determine the leadership behaviors essential to lead well in all directions.
    • Distinguish how to show up as your best self and deliver your best value in every leadership situation.

    Negotiation can bring great value, yet women often avoid it. With good reason. They're often penalized for it. In 2001, only 7% of women negotiated their first salary. Labeled aggressive instead of assertive or, worse, the dreaded b-word, they skip the process for fear of retaliation. Are women terrible negotiators? No. In fact, just the opposite. Their trust & empathy skills make them ideal for it. Often they just need to work on the confidence & communication strategies to get what they want—without that dreaded label. Fotini Iconomopoulos shares her negotiation war stories & how she overcame gender & age discrimination to go on to be the expert that Fortune 50 executives seek her out. You'll leave with confidence & tips to tackle your next negotiation with ease.

    Objectives

    • Identify new skills for high-stakes conversations
    • Distinguish new motivation and confidence for negotiating successfully

    Mental health influences one's ability to work productively and cope with the stresses of daily living. A healthy psychological state is central to performance for a knowledge worker. For if one's mind is occupied by anxious thoughts, there is less space available for critical thinking and problem-solving.  The COVID-19 pandemic intensified an already demanding profession. As business leaders, we were thrust into an increasingly complex and ambiguous regulatory environment. While at home, we had new daily stressors- many of which we never experienced before. To thrive in this new world, we all need to learn how to tend to our state of mind. As we do, we will see an increasingly positive impact on our bottom line.

    Objectives

    • Identify how personal development initiatives increase business performance
    • Recognize the common signs of stress and angst in one's self and in another
    • Describe how to effectively intervene and best manage employees who are experiencing anxiety or depression
    • Discuss the personal story of a CPA who has been profoundly impacted by mental health challenges

    Your business isn't looking for any business, you're looking for the BEST clients. And those clients are ready to invest a premium price for your premium service or product. But just because they are willing (and able) to pay doesn't mean you should rush through the sales process. That's the fastest way of losing the client forever. 

    Learn the fatal errors inexperienced businesses and entrepreneurs are making all the time in their sales cycles, and don't even know it. Companies such as Xerox and American Express have always been able to close the premium-priced deals and are market leaders for a reason. Learn the secrets of sales from someone who mastered their sales processes and is now YOUR secret sales weapon.

    Objectives

    • Identify why asking questions such as "what is your budget?" is a terrible question to ask and how to reframe questions in a round-about way in order to get the information in an indirect, and more truthful manner.
    • Distinguish how to ask more emotionally-charged questions that will ultimately help the clients to close more deals in a faster timeframe and for more revenue.
    • Identify how to create and use stories effectively to persuade the client to take action.
