Many workplaces have a disconnect between what people want from work today and their actual experiences on the job. The result makes headlines, as the “great resignation,” “quiet quitting,” and burnout affect people at all levels.

Employees and leaders are craving connection – a sense of purpose, a collaborative environment, and feeling respected and valued for their work and as individuals.

How do leaders successfully navigate this new world of work while still meeting the organization’s priorities? In a word: connection. Connected leaders build a culture of trust, leading to increased job satisfaction, engagement, productivity, loyalty and commitment.

Join behavioral analysis expert Angelica Grindle and executive leadership coach Rebecca Timmins to understand why connected leaders are so influential and how you can become one. They’ll share insights and a proven approach based on more than 30 years of experience developing leaders who help people and organizations thrive.

We’ll explore:

• Key questions to gauge your current level of connection and guide you to becoming a stronger, more connected leader
• Derailers to avoid that create a disconnect and lead to negative – even toxic – environments
• Seven best practices and three simple ways to forge stronger connections every day
