Purposeful Leadership Development in Uncertain Times

CEO & Co-Founder ExecOnline

Strategic, intentional L&D has never been more critical to business success. Today, we must align leadership development with pressing business needs or risk missing critical opportunities to support leaders who drive outcomes now and in the future.

So how can HR, Talent, and L&D teams align their purpose to organizational goals? And how can we measure impact to help understand and articulate how L&D programs move the needle on important metrics?

In this session, Stephen Bailey, CEO and Co-Founder of ExecOnline, will share research-backed insights into how today’s most progressive companies are using integrated learning and coaching to drive results in turbulent business environments. Additionally, he’ll explain ExecOnline’s differentiated approach to measuring L&D’s impact on employee retention, productivity, and goal attainment.

How Emotional Energy Drives Team Performance: A Fireside Chat

Founding Executive Director Duke University’s Coach K Leadership & Ethics Center at the Fuqua School of Business

Many leaders have developed skills for influencing behavioral and strategic outcomes on their teams, but are less equipped when it comes to influencing emotional outcomes. But a team’s emotional energy can be the biggest driver of–or impediment to–productivity, impact, and engagement.

Join Sanyin Siang, coaching expert and Thinkers50 Top Management Thinker, and ExecOnline CEO and Co-Founder Stephen Bailey for an engaging fireside chat on how leaders can be coached to use storytelling and touchstone moments that harness the power of emotional energy to transform culture, drive outcomes, and inject purpose into their teams’ work.
