Armored vs. Daring Leadership
Presented by Molly, Holly & Jenny - The Daring Venture Team
Do you understand how your patterns of "armoring up" get in the way of courageous leadership? When we practice courage, it feels vulnerable and often we can feel discomfort or "less than" in new situations.
This feeling can lead to armoring up which takes us away from showing up as our best self. In this session, increase your self-awareness to understand your patterns and make more daring choices in leadership and life.
Key Takeaways:

Building a Positive and Supportive Feedback Culture
Presented by Pete Berridge, PCC, MAPP, Co-Founder Change Positive, LLC
Today's workforce says, "Coach me, don't criticize me"; This is an invitation to shift your mindset on feedback and see how positive psychology and building social support can create a more effective and energizing feedback experience. Whether it comes through a performance review or 360, the way feedback is delivered in most companies is broken. Intentions are compromised, context is lacking, and all too often feedback is focused on what’s not working vs. identifying what the individual could do to excel. Additionally, feedback systems lack ongoing support from stakeholders - the “people system” - to help the person successfully grow and change.
This session will cover concepts to address these shortfalls including positive psychology, system support, strengths-based coaching, solution-focused inquiry, and defining desired outcomes. This will shift participants’ mindset so that feedback becomes far more constructive and enjoyable for both those giving and receiving. Participants will leave with more energy and ideas for transforming feedback in their lives and organizations.

You Are Here: Going From Stuck to Success
Presented by Jaime Taets
|
We can all achieve great success, and we all get lost from time to time on our way there.We zig-zag through “shoulds” and the pressures of societal expectations by following rules rather than listening to our inner guidance. We let fear or uncertainty cloud our actions. We react with paralysis or avoidance because we feel stuck or have a hunch we could be doing more. The problem isn't that we have those feelings, it’s that we don't know how to move past them. You Are Here is here to help.
