"Susan's authenticity, care, and expertise shines through. She has such a beautiful way of encouraging leaders to be brave and bold in their approach while also honoring the importance of human connection."

No matter if business growth accelerates, stagnates or declines, leaders are often stretched & stressed. External economic, industry and business pressures will always invite internal emotions and reactions, and these (often inconvenient) human emotions can make work-based relationships difficult (sometimes exhausting) to manage. Add to this the expectations of fostering highly productive, innovation-rich, inclusive, psychologically safe, and emotionally intelligent workplace cultures – and no wonder leaders are feeling squished from all sides.

Decades of research on the practice of leadership show time and again that at the core of leading successfully is the ability to be in relationship with others in an inclusive, self-aware, and inspiring way. But what about the relationship you have with yourself? To be an effective leader (and multiply the impact of others) you must manage yourself thoughtfully – especially when stretched and stressed. No matter the industry, great leaders understand their own emotions, as well as those of others, and respond appropriately.

In this engaging, informative, and inspiring keynote, leadership expert Susan MacKenty Brady shares what every leader can do to lead from their best self – especially in times of stress - and how to help others do the same.

Target Audience: 

All genders, all levels of leaders and managers
