Speaker: Aileen Allkins
Chief Executive Officer Wize Talent Solutions
When your employees need to start introducing themselves to new roles, the key is first to evaluate their knowledge, capabilities, and skills. If possible, provide them with options that fit their skills well and are the ones that best serve the business. Once they choose a career path, apprenticeship programs should focus on closing the skills gaps needed for the new position.
Upskilling our emotional intelligence: How to balance the hard skills with the human skills
11:30 am. – 12:30 p.m.
Speaker: David Mead
Leadership and Workplace Culture Expert
Every organization strives to achieve high performance, growth, productivity, and results. And often, organizations don't realize that they're self-sabotaging those efforts through the experience they create for their people. When the culture we're talking about doesn't align with the culture our people experience, cultural dissonance occurs. People go into self-preservation mode and find it more challenging to trust and develop connections with others. Healthy and productive environments have cultural unity, where the established culture aligns with daily behaviors.
In this interactive talk, David draws on his personal experience and the patterns he has observed in leaders and organizations around the world. You will identify the symptoms of cultural dissonance and explore three specific leadership traits that lead to cultural unity when put into practice.
