Have you ever been, or have you seen, a zombie in the workforce?

According to Gallup, approximately two-thirds of the US workforce is not engaged. Simply put, these employees are going through the motions. They are not inspired to bring their best to their jobs and often their lives. The impact on organizations is felt through lost productivity, increased turnover, and reduced quality.

Via the latest research, demonstrated case studies, and some basic common sense, this session shares innovative ideas to inspire and empower yourself and the workforce toward personal fulfillment and organizational success. While many motivational leaders emphasize the “Why” of organizations as the key to engagement, we will explore the impact of “How” as a tool to provide a more practical approach to engage and inspire.

Through an engaging workshop setting, participants of this session will leave with a formula to create an “ePIC” narrative for their job and their life. You will discover the art of “intentional culture” and “job crafting,” as tools to leverage the passion and creativity of the workforce to maximize engagement and productivity toward a shared vision and values.

This program covers topics in the Leadership Development track.

Executive Core Qualifications (ECQs) covered in this session: Leading Change (Creativity and Innovation, Strategic Thinking); Leading People (Developing Others, Team Building); and Results Driven (Accountability).
