SocialHRCamp Virtual 2022 3.0 – Enhancing Your Leadership Skills for the New World of Work

Pre-COVID, we were already experiencing change at a breathtaking rate, and then add in the pandemic. These past few months have seen the world start to open up, only to be shut down again. It’s clear that disruption and constant change are with us to stay.  We can’t predict what’s around the next corner; ultimately the future is unknown. 

This future brings with it complex problems that can’t be solved with yesterday’s thinking. We must be prepared to think and behave differently today in order to tackle what’s coming our way tomorrow. This session will explore adaptability, a core leadership skill that is needed to thrive in this new work of work.

Having an inclusive culture for all employees is very important.

Leadership will be one of the most heavily tested skills throughout the coronavirus pandemic, so whether employees are together in the office or virtual, we need collaboration, focus and productivity. EI will help you succeed. Let's discuss how!

Meghan and Dan share business lessons learned working together and independently through various phases of company transformation over their careers. Collectively they have 30+ years of experience, having built comprehensive people and communications programs over these varying stages of business growth: from start-up phase, through hyper-growth years, to globalizing businesses, to navigating a pandemic, through a successful IPO listing. Time and time again they’ve seen how when leadership prioritizes communications as a business strategy, improved employee engagement and organizational performance is the end result. In this evolving business climate, where hybrid work has become the norm and industries are seeing record numbers of job churn, there has never been a better time to cultivate a culture of communications.

The key to creating impactful leadership lies in unleashing more of who you already are, and having the courage to bring that person to the table; to live your truth. As an underrepresented leader, you've learned to hide parts of who you are in order to fit in and survive because the world has told you who you should be. It’s draining your power and limiting your potential for truly impactful and inspired leadership.

This session will give you the inspiration, courage and tools to find your voice as a leader, bring your authentic self to work, be effective in the face of fear, and dismantle roadblocks limiting your potential.

Learn what is challenging women now, how leadership skills and culture need to change, and the organizational policies that will backfire despite your best intentions.

When you hear of "leadership" what do you think of? It is so much more than names on an organizational chart. It runs deeper than the "person in charge." 

In the session, we'll explore next-generation leadership concepts that challenge the way we've thought about traditional leadership. We'll discuss impact-based leadership as a mentality, not a position and the importance of leadership in the new and emerging world of work. You'll learn how to develop this critical skill in yourself and in others to make a positive difference in your career, organization and community.

When your people are motivated and engaged, they feel purposeful, invested, and appreciated; they are energized, more creative, and have better mental health. From a business perspective, there is higher retention, decreased absenteeism, and increased innovation. In this new world of work, where things are moving faster than ever, your people are challenged in ways they have never been before. Keeping your team motivated and engaged as they move through all this disruption is essential, and is a core skill leaders need now more than ever. Come explore how to strengthen this competency and deepen the practice of your leadership.

It's a familiar refrain: employees say they want more feedback on their performance, and managers too often avoid giving it or struggle to deliver it skillfully.  How do we move the idea of feedback from a task to a practice and build a culture where feedback is part of a development flywheel?  In this session based on Gaby's Building the Feedback Muscles framework, we go to the heart of the matter to explore the surprising ingredient to unleash a culture rich in supportive feedback, growth and development.
