Leadership Action Network Event – Minneapolis June 2023

We are excited to offer our first in-person Leadership Action Network event in the Americas focusing on the very latest research and practical inspiration for managing the wellbeing of yourself and your people. 

Our organizations and people are facing increasing complexity and volatility both within and outside of the workplace.  There is a growing awareness within organizations that the “old” ways of working are proving unsustainable for business and unhealthy for our people who are voting with their feet as a result.

In our Leadership Action Network (LAN) event with Corey Criswell and Lettie Dalton, featuring the research of Nick Petrie, we will share the latest global insights into:

• Diagnosing where individuals, teams, or organizations are on the “burnout” spectrum.
• Finding the sweet spot that integrates employee growth and retention with organizational performance (dispelling the myth of the trade-off)
• The shifting role of leaders in a VUCA world of creating an environment of wellbeing and psychological safety.
• Emerging practices in the proactive empowerment of employees to manage their mental health and wellbeing

The session will look like this:

• Welcome and purpose
• Intro and chance to connect with like-minded leaders
• Be conscious: Know your own context. Collaborate with one another to understand the well-being challenges and opportunities you or your team are facing
• Be curious: Via our featured guests, gain fresh insights and perspectives as well as discussion about the latest research findings relating to optimizing performance and growth without burning out.
• Be Better: Reflect on the insights shared and application within your own context.  Stay in touch with peers from other organizations and industries to support one another along the journey.

The Leadership Action Network has the following principles:

• Benefit: Every event will provide direct benefit to every individual.
• Action: We will build our success and network through doing worthwhile things not just talking.
• Accountable: We will each hold other members of the Leadership Action Network accountable to do what we say we will.
