Growing In Uncertain Times: Turning challenge into opportunity, and change into competitive advantage
Stimulating a culture of growth amidst uncertainty begins with leaders taking ownership for their changed reality, unleashing an ambition that drives their team forward, and aligning their people to the new ways of working necessary to create value in the current environment.
In this case-study rich session, Peter Sheahan will unpack how to balance the need for prompt action with the need to maintain the capacity, capability, and engagement required to make the most of the massive opportunities that inevitably emerge from crisis. And he will explore the unique application of these insights in a mostly virtual world.

4. Road-map for driving alignment

High Performance in a Virtual World: Maintaining a culture of accountability and high engagement in the face of COVID-19
Culture is a science, not an art. With the right mindset, team dynamics, and environment, a leader can intentionally curate a culture of accountability, innovation, and high engagement. Doing so remotely presents unique but surmountable challenges that can be overcome by creating a setting for your team where it’s psychologically safe to ask for help, behave in new ways, and pursue progress over perfection. The truth is people don’t really know how to work together as effectively virtually, and collaboration, productivity, and wellbeing are all known to suffer when we get it wrong. Using realworld examples, Peter will unpack a blueprint for driving high performance and apply it directly to the new ways of working we must all embrace as a part of social distance based norms.
Audience Gains:
1. Understand how the role of the leader must change in a virtual world
2. Identify the strategies and tactics at your disposal for influencing behavior
3. Break the myths about tools first, and place the humans in the center of your approach
4. Inspire leaders to make this crisis an opportunity to take their capabilities to the next level
5. Unleash a commitment across your teams to do what it takes to survive and thrive
Leading with Intentional Optimism: Make the shift from defense to offense and seize the opportunities in disruption
Leaders must be pragmatic in the face of the real challenges presented by Covid-19, however at some point they must choose whether they are going to create their future reality or passively accept their fate. Intentional Optimism is a new way of leading that unleashes the agency and influence we all have over our reality and combines the importance of pragmatism with the power of boldness to position ourselves to make the most of opportunity. Participants will explore their own leadership archetype and learn how to avoid the dangers of cynicism over skepticism and dreaming over optimism. The outcome will be the intentional amplification of optimism at a time we need it most.
Audience Gains:
1. Accept the reality of our current situation, but not see it as worse than it is
2. Unleash a desire to seek and find opportunities amidst the chaos and uncertainty
3. Embrace your role as a leader in building optimism and pragmatism inside of your team
4. Create momentum that infuses your people with the energy required to transform
5. Align your team around a focus beyond survival, giving you an advantage when the market turns

Expert facilitator and business thought leader Peter Sheahan knows how to create impactful virtual experiences
We can’t keep shoehorning what we used to do offline, into the virtual conference and hoping it will create behavior change.
Instead of passive keynote experiences, we need interactive facilitation. We need to not just tell people there is opportunity in disruption but show them how to take advantage of it by helping others like them tell their stories and share their insights. We need authentic human experiences that inspire and connect us.
Experiences like these need interactive platforms, and they require expert facilitators capable of connecting the dots and tying the experiences and content of a virtual conference together.
As an expert facilitator, PETER SHEAHAN knows how to work with supercharged teams to get high-performance results, even in a virtual setting. Watch this demo reel to see how a virtual (or live!) event facilitated by Peter is more meaningful and impactful.

In being true to his own ambitions and relentless pursuit of growth, Peter has published seven books, built three global companies and delivered more than 2,500 presentations in 40+ countries.
