The Metrics of Migrative Leadership

Most people with influence survive by living within their element—staying in their zone, doing what they do—talking to people like them, who think like them, who vote like them, who dress like them, who walk like them, who talk like them. Moving away from this space feels vulnerable because you might not have the power and the influence that you have when you are on your own turf. Bishop T.D. Jakes helps you learn to migrate your thinking. To navigate your current, rapidly changing world and the conundrum in which you find yourself, you can no longer ignore the people you can’t understand or control. This talk will help you learn specific ways to step into vulnerability with confidence, courage and openness—it will take liquidity of thought and nimbleness of mind to be a leader who has migrative thinking.

Safe is Insufficient

Nona Jones shares why, when it comes to leadership, safe is insufficient. During times of difficulty, it is human nature to try to find a place of safety and security, but progress cannot be made in the places that bring us comfort­. Progress can only be made in the places that make us grow. Gain the conviction to lead from a place of discomfort and the practical insights needed to identify the root of your discomfort, how to harness the courage to lead through it and how to invite others on the journey with you, even when they are uncomfortable too. Take up the challenge to accelerate your leadership impact when it feels you have everything to lose.

Leading Through the Dip

Craig Groeschel talks about leading through the dip. There will be times you hit a ceiling when what you have done in the past isn’t working, and you have to take a risk knowing there might be a downturn in productivity or efficiency to have an upturn. Craig helps you understand the power of unmaking promises, leading with confident uncertainty, obsessing with the why and having the courage to do some things that may feel like a step backwards so that you can take several steps forward.
