Most people with influence survive by living within their element—staying in their zone, doing what they do—talking to people like them, who think like them, who vote like them, who dress like them, who walk like them, who talk like them. Moving away from this space feels vulnerable because we might not have the power and the influence that we have when we are on our own turf. Bishop TD Jakes helps us learn to migrate in our thinking. To navigate our current, rapidly changing world and the conundrum we find ourselves, we can no longer ignore the people we can't understand or control. Walk away from this talk with specific ways you can step into vulnerability with confidence, courage and openness—it will take the liquidity of thought and the nimbleness of mind to be a leader who has migrative thinking.

What can the best leaders do to build resilience during these challenging times? Marcus Buckingham leads the ADP Research Institute which, amongst other things, focuses on identifying the core components of critical aspects of people at work, such as resilience. Drawing from a recent 25-country study, 1,000 workers per country, we can now identify and measure the components of resilience, what you can do to cultivate it in yourself, and in those you lead. What we have learned is that resilience is made up of two sets of feelings: (1) How you feel about yourself and your working world (2) How you feel about the behavior of your own team leader and leader of leaders. In this talk, identify the three feelings you need to cultivate in yourself and the three feelings that comprise the expectations you have of your team leader. If you are a team leader, you’ll need to know what both of these components are so that you can focus your actions on delivering them for your people.

Nona Jones will be sharing why--when it comes to leadership--safe is insufficient. During times of difficulty, it is human nature to try to find a place of safety and security, but progress cannot be made in the places that bring us comfort¬. Progress can only be made in the places that make us grow. You will walk away from this talk with the conviction to lead from a place of discomfort and the practical insights needed to identify the root of your discomfort, how to harness the courage to lead through it and how to invite others on the journey with you, even when they are uncomfortable, too. Take up the challenge to accelerate your leadership impact when it feels you have everything to lose.
