Strategic Momentum℠
Engaging People on the Same Page in Challenging Times

Learning Session/Pre Conference

Challenging times demand that leaders and emerging leaders tap internal talent and resources, galvanize motivation, and get people on the same page so that they can move forward strategically to meet changing needs and to achieve successful workplace outcomes.

Maximize your capacity and value to your organization by strengthening your ability to lead and influence planning, identify and close gaps between diverse viewpoints, sett strategic goals, draw out fresh solutions, facilitate visioning and team-engaging sessions within your facility.
