Topics, sessions and talks
Many leaders and organizations claim integrity as a core value, often defining it as “doing the right thing.” However, this simplistic definition falls short in practice. This presentation by Dethmer and The Conscious Leadership Group reveals the pitfalls executives face when they believe they are upholding integrity, only to encounter lawsuits and office drama. Attendees will learn how Dethmer and his team teach true integrity to leaders worldwide. They will leave empowered to identify areas where they may lack integrity and equipped with tools to restore it, resulting in less drama and more energy for their priorities.
Distilled through years of practice and experience advising CEOs and their organizations, the 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership offers a roadmap to create leaders, teams and organizations that are based on trust, curiosity and learning. This talk leads audiences through the key competencies of sustained leadership success: self-awareness and learning agility. With laser-like precision, Jim breaks down how these 15 commitments lead to trust-rich teams and organizations where full engagement becomes the norm. Audiences learn how to end blame and criticism, put an end to gossip, and how emotional intelligence is key to peak performance for leaders, teams and organizations.
Investment banks are known for their competitive, bottom-line-focused environments, populated by some of the highest IQ individuals. So why did they invite Jim Dethmer to speak to their high-potential, next-generation leaders about feelings?
