CONTENT EXPIRES: December 31, 2021 Being a manager or an executive in the design and construction industry is more difficult than any other. Like other industries, we too have stringent deadlines, customers with high expectations and aggressive competitors. However, our customers don't come to us to purchase pots and pans, cars, insurance or other products that are simple transactions. We practically live with our clients for months or longer.

Whether trying to influence the marketplace and your clients or impact the culture of your organization, storytelling is actually one of the most effective tools to drive change. Great leaders are able to tell great stories. Getting people on board with your ideas and solutions doesn’t happen by chance. Having great ideas isn’t enough if all you can convey about them are the facts, figures and good logic that support them. In this session, we will discuss how to frame your intentions and ideas in such a way that they educate, inform, motivate and inspire to achieve the results that you are seeking.

Before you can move minds, you have to be able to move hearts. This is quite counter to the traditional “command and control” style of leadership that our industry is known for.

It is inspiration and motivation that can moves hearts, and ultimately, move minds, to achieve your organizational goals. In this session, we will focus on how you can intentionally improve the inspirational effect that you have on people and the difference that makes in their performance and commitment. We will explore how inspiration and leadership are interconnected and consider how genuine conversations galvanize people to achieve more than they thought possible.
