Never Waste A Crisis - Surviving and Thriving Through Life’s Tightropes, Turmoil, and Tragedy

For 20 years, before the coronavirus, Dr. Harbison had been researching, teaching, and consulting on how to navigate transition and change. When tough times hit, we have a unique opportunity to look up and reach out, to reinvent ourselves and our organizations. In fact, some of the greatest inventions, companies, and stories of personal triumph emerge from tumultuous times. Now more than ever, the world needs expert, compassionate guidance on how to not only survive but actually thrive together during difficult times. Organizational leaders and individuals alike will learn vital information and inspiration for:

  • Creating stability and confidence in yourself and those around you

  • Challenging mind-traps that shut down learning and connection

  • Nurturing social community while physical distancing

  • Building a growth mindset for greater resilience and optimism

  • Envisioning a “new normal” that will inspire, equip, and sustain you

The Achiever’s Dilemma - Are you driving your Achiever or is your Achiever driving you?

Working harder, longer, faster may be the way to climb the first part of your career ladder. But is there an end in sight? Decades of drive can easily turn into a grueling treadmill of effort and exhaustion. That's a dangerous place to be in the middle of times of upheaval. Now is the time to purposely navigate, not mindlessly execute. Organizational leaders and individuals alike will learn vital information about:

  • The different types of Achievers: The Caretaker, The Intellect, & The Hero

  • How we fall back on tropes or expectations that no longer serve us

  • The 3 myths that trap serious Achievers: “Because I can, I should,” “Because I did, I do,” and “If I don't, no one will.”

  • Why tough times are a period for being, not doing.

  • How to better navigate (and even grow through) difficult change and transition

Land Your Brand - A Leader’s Guide to Presence and Purpose

Whether it’s a product, service or company, strong brands create an emotional bond with its customers that result in loyalty, engagement, and advocacy. They don’t only offer a product; they create an experience. Leaders are the same - but they often don’t look intentionally at what kind of experience they are creating for those around them. Based on her experience in Brand Management at Procter & Gamble (the world’s premiere brand builder), research in behavioral economics, and years working with Fortune 500 leaders, Dr. Harbison will guide leaders in a highly energizing and interactive session.
