Let’s Get Fired Up: Next-Gen Leadership
2, 4, 6, 8. Want to know how to make your workplace really great? Become a CheerLEADER!
Top-down management, command and control leadership…these concepts are antiquated, disengage employees and don’t drive business growth. Next-gen leaders take an individualized and human-centric approach, and it begins by building connections on their “squad.”
Utilizing the ethos of cheerleading, a sport where, quite literally, athletes are required to build on each other to create WOW moments requiring trust, accountability and knowledge, this session excites and empowers professionals to become CheerLEADERs in their organization. Stefanie provides a playbook to customize support, development and resources that capitalize on individual strengths, generate positive culture, drive collaboration, and inspire teams to greatness.
This engaging and interactive hype session goes beyond the “why,” guiding next-gen leaders to the “how” with strategies, practical activities, positivity and pom-poms (of course)!
Let’s get FIRED UP and, if so inclined, get out of your seat and CHEER!
