Resilience: It's Not About Bouncing Back
How leaders and organization can build
resilience before disruption hits
Organizations and their leaders are asked to react to major set-backs every day. Pressure for results in the face of changing markets, restructuring, shrinking budgets, and blending cultures require skills to tackle tough situations, influence across boundaries, process quickly and come back stronger.
Resilience is arguably the number one requirement for leaders today and no one is talking about it. Jennifer is.
In this program, Jennifer shares personal and business experience and profound lessons on resilience, from building a successful business in a deep recession, years on the road restructuring companies, a health crisis that knocked her off the podium as a nationally ranked athlete, and the trauma of diving out of a burning vehicle, barely escaping alive. Jennifer’s cutting-edge resilience model, vast experience driving large scale global organizational change, and her own brand of wisdom and good sense presented in an edgy, paradigm shifting session help your team learn how they can build a framework to increase individual and organizational resilience long before it’s needed.

Your audience will begin to see that in leadership, common sense isn’t all that common. We’ll enjoy laughing at the lighter side as we validate our own observations in a new light.

Rethinking Leadership:
Driving Performance in a
Smaller, Tougher World
Two pervasive issues facing business today require leaders at all levels to think differently about leadership: doing more with less and working across cultures. To maintain their edge in today’s market, leaders must be exceedingly competent at leading lasting and sustainable change, driving performance through others, maximizing results of a global workforce and managing talent in ways they never have before. Missed opportunity because leaders and teams aren’t aligned simply isn't acceptable. The cost of failed change or stagnating C players is too high when every dollar counts.
This high energy, interactive session will challenge your thinking and provide pragmatic tools you can use immediately to do more with less and align diverse stakeholders. All participants in this talk will also receive a free toolkit with three powerful leadership frameworks to help clarify opportunities and roadblocks, create alignment and enable sustainable change.

RapidOD: Organizational Design
With Less Disruption
There are few topics that send business leaders running faster than Organization Structure. We know we need to think about them, but the very thouht makes us weary of endless meetings, disruptions in productivity and philosophical HR exercises that can feel cathartic but rarely add value. …right at a time when we are in a constant struggle to ensure efficiencies, reduce cost and get the most out of people. Even at their best, these initiatives can be painful and disruptive, perceived to be an endless time vacuum. But they don't have to be.

She is the creator or the RapidOD approach to organization alignment, built and proven to ‘get organizations and talent right the first time’ after participating in over 50 corporate restructuring initiatives and watching most of them fail. Learn how to intentionally build organization structures that enable you to do more with the team you already have.

WHY WORK WITH AN NSA SPEAKER?
Speakers are often hired for their expertise, but though the information they share may be relevant, it’s only useful if your presenter is able to capture and keep participants’ attention, wrap their information in stories that stick, and offer action steps that translate into value your leaders, teams, and event participants can take home and put to work.
When hiring a speaker, review their expertise and experience, but also ask about their training as a professional presenter. NSA speakers engage with and learn from the industry’s finest and adhere to a professional code of conduct, and this comes with the additional benefit of a professional ethics board that stands ready to mediate disputes or misunderstandings that might arise between you and a speaker.
The Certified Speaking Professional (CSP®) is a designation that is earned by less than 17% of professional speakers worldwide and recognizes significant experience and excellence in ethics, eloquence, expertise, and enterprise.
Expect an NSA speaker to:
- Listen before they talk—to you or your audience
- Notify you when they’ve arrived so you can worry about other people
- Show up early, start on-time, and never crowd other speakers by running over
- Bring experience with faulty AV equipment, fire drills, and other technical problems that inexperienced speakers won’t know how to manage
- Understand the challenges you face as a meeting professional so they can help make your event a success
- Deliver eloquence on the platform as well as expertise
- Make their presentation about your audience and not about themselves
- Deliver value far above their speaking fee
- Wow your audience
When you work with an NSA speaker, you benefit from an entire community of experts and professionals who support each other, share expertise, and push for utmost professionalism. NSA speakers offer your best route to audience engagement, worry-free meetings, return on investment, and referrals to other presenters you can count on. When you consider me (or any speaker) for your important event, ask about professional affiliations, training, experience, and commitment to professional development. The responses you receive from NSA speakers will surprise, delight, and inspire you as much as any on-stage presentation.
