  We’ve all been there—facing a system that’s inefficient, a team stuck in a rut, or a process that drains time and energy. In business, as in life, the biggest obstacles aren’t always a lack of effort or resources—it’s getting stuck in the way things have always been done. Are you ready to move beyond the stagnation and jumpstart real change? Join us for a conversation with bestselling author Dan Heath as he shares insights from Reset: How to Change What’s Not Working, and discover which small, targeted shifts can unlock meaningful progress in your workplace—and your life.
  
  Changing how we work can feel overwhelming. Like trying to budge an enormous boulder even an inch, it’s easy to find ourselves stifled by the gravity of the way we’ve always done things. We spend so much time fighting fires while scrambling to meet the “priority of the day” that we lack the energy to shift direction. But the good news is, with the right strategy, we can move that boulder further than we ever thought possible.
  
  In Reset, Heath shares a powerful yet practical approach for overcoming inertia and unlocking forward progress in any aspect of life. The secret is to find “leverage points” — places where a little bit of effort can yield outsized results—and then thoughtfully rearrange resources to push on those points even further. Heath weaves together fascinating case-studies, ranging from a freakishly effective fast-food drive-thru to an inspirational campaign that saved a million cats, to demonstrate how organizations have successfully tackled inefficiency, empowered teams, and created sustainable change without the frustration of wasted efforts or disengagement.

  
  
  During this session, you will learn to:

  • Recognize hidden barriers to progress and overcome them with strategic small shifts
  • Make smarter, more effective changes without needing more time, money, or resources
  • Find motivation and momentum by focusing on what drives real results
  • How to eliminate wasteful processes and refocus efforts on what truly moves the needle
  • Apply these insights anywhere—whether at work, at home, or in your community
  • If you’re ready to rethink outdated processes, drive strategic improvements, and lead change with confidence, don’t miss this opportunity to gain insights from one of today’s top business thinkers.

  In this 1.5 hour interactive workshop, you will find that Learning leadership isn’t about the title that appears on your business card, or where you appear in your organization’s org chart. It’s also not about traits that people do or do not have. Leadership is about the choices we make, and the behaviors and actions we take based on those choices.

  In this session, you will explore:
  

  • Specific behaviors that form the foundation of learning leadership
  • What these behaviors look like in practice and how they help others view you as a leader in your organization
  • Resources to help you build and apply these behaviors in your work

  David Kelly constantly explores the convergence of learning and technology, demonstrating a profound commitment to transforming workplaces and enriching lives through innovative learning strategies. With over two decades of experience in learning and performance leadership and consulting, he brings his passion to life in his daily work as a dynamic strategist, speaker, & writer, inspiring others to view their work through a fresh, technology-enhanced lens. He is the former Chairman & CEO of the Learning Guild.
