How will you keep your talented employees and engage your younger generations?
How will you manage growing business demands and still find time to coach your
people? These are familiar questions that all leaders face - and few have the
solutions to these problems more clearly than Bill Benjamin, an expert in the
cutting edge science of Emotional Intelligence.
What is Emotional Intelligence (EI) - EI is the ability to recognize and manage
your own emotions and to connect to the emotions of others. Great leaders are
able to manage their emotions when there is tension and conflict so they can
engage more skillfully. Great leaders know that emotions are infectious - as a
leader you have the power to unleash best performance or to sabotage it
Leadership 2.0 is a completely different look at leadership and Bill Benjamin
has a rare perspective - he has advanced degrees in Mathematics and Computer
Science and has 15 years of real-world business experience as a senior leader.
Bill brings a straightforward and practical look at the brain science of
emotions that drive your leadership behaviors. He provides the practical tools
that you can apply to engage your team and drive higher performance.
Leadership 2.0 - The Science Behind Great Leaders
What do highly effective leaders do differently? Is there a science to great
leadership? The answer is yes, and the key is learning the science of managing
emotions. According to a recent Harvard study, Emotional Intelligence is the
greatest driver of success in Leadership. Leadership 2.0 focuses on the science
of managing emotions more intelligently to lead more effectively.
In this session, leaders will learn why Emotional Intelligence counts for more
than IQ in leadership performance. They will understand the brain science of
emotions that drive their behavior, and they will learn techniques they can
apply immediately to make them more effective as leaders
The Big Disconnect: Why most (well intentioned) Leaders miss out on engaging
the next (well intentioned) Generation
The largest generation of people in history --some 77.5 million people - are
about to retire. Over the next 5 to 15 years, the workplace will shift to a new
generation of leader. Organizations that can't figure out how to keep and
engage this new generation of employee will lose. This powerful keynote will
provide a framework to better understand the BIG DISCONNECT that is at the
heart of generational tension and show how the tools of Emotional Intelligence
(EI) are critical to successfully bridging this gap.
In this session, leaders will learn what is at the heart of the BIG DISCONNECT
between the generations and why most popular management gurus are wrong about
the 'values' gap that 'exists between the generations. Three strategies will be
presented to help boomer and veteran leaders engage 'new generation' employees
more successfully in order to increase performance effort and retention.
High Performance Sales - What Makes a Successful Sales Person?
It's not IQ, education or even product knowledge that make sales people
successful. They need to have a certain amount of these, but what sets the high
performers apart from the average is their ability to deal with setbacks and
connect with clients.
In this session, sales people will learn the two key qualities that
differentiate the top 20% of sales people. Techniques will be taught that will
help them to be resilient in the face of setbacks and adversity, and to connect
to the emotional needs of their clients. The session draws from cutting edge
research and IHHP's work with Olympic athletes and high performing sales teams
from around the world.
