The Magnetic Communicator

Get GLAD—The Painless Process for Giving and Receiving Feedback

Often leaders don’t know how to talk to their direct reports about performance because they lack the skills that would enable them to help others move to the next levels of success—theirs, their team’s, and the company’s.

In this content-rich, interactive keynote participants will learn how to address the responsibilities of leaders who have direct reports—people who need direction and leadership, not just management. These techniques will prepare them to handle the most important aspect of being a boss: effective
communication.

“Thanks again for a really wonderful presentation. It was powerful and informative. I heard nothing but praise for your contributions to our conference.”

The Magnetic Change Agent

Champion Change Reactions, Not Chain Reactions

In today’s ever-accelerating world, change is a fact of life. The question is, will unwanted change kill morale and initiative in your organization? Or will your employees pioneer innovation and take charge? Will your leaders offer pragmatic approaches for turning challenges to opportunity or allow threats to drive their strategies?

Organizations need leaders who will serve as both champions of and agents for change—people who will plan direction, overcome resistance, and give others the help they need to adjust to change, even when change brings hardships. Only then can the people in your organization enhance motivation, increase productivity, and support a shared vision.

Using her original research on overcoming adversity and hardship, Linda explains how leaders can stay productive themselves as they help others cope when change comes by imposition, not invitation.

In this content-rich, but at the same time, humor-heavy presentation, Linda outlines ways for participants to manage change so they can emerge from setbacks hardier and more resilient. When leaders develop these skills, they can discourage negativism and keep productivity high.

“The presentation you gave was fantastic! Your seminar was a huge success and my counterparts are still talking about the benefit they derived. The content was well-developed, engaging with the appropriate infusion of humor to keep the audience hooked.”
