Building Trust in Adaptive Leadership

Alicia Morgan
Join us for a 20-minute discussion and Q&A that explores the heart of trust and adaptive leadership, where we delve into how trust is not merely possessed but actively fostered and nurtured within a team. Learn about the delicate balance of trust—how it's built, stretched, and sometimes restored—to create a thriving environment where putting the team first is paramount. WHY? Do You Use Your Strategic ‘WHY’ Everyday?

Jennie Fowler
Slogans you hear:
• WiiFM (what’s in it for me)
• What is the ‘so what?’
• BLUF (bottom line up front)
• KISS (keep it simple stupid)
• TL: DR (too long: didn’t read)
And… so many more!

In this session, let’s unpack… how do you determine the WHY? Do you set your goals in a clear ONE sentence format that is smart neighbor friendly? After that main goal is set… do you break the WHY down so that it matters to each person on our project / program? How will this session help me as a project / change leader? One early nugget: ….. remember, people connect with the ‘why’ before they connect with the what or how.
