Getting a team and a company through tough times doesn’t happen by accident. It occurs when you know what steps and action to make at the right time.

As a business leader I saw what affect 9/11 had on businesses around the world. I learned a lot during those times.

Then when the great recession hit, I applied those lessons, and the software business I owned doubled in revenue and profit, all while being named the #1 Best Place to Work.

Most leaders are having to deal with more change in the last 12+ months then in the rest of their career combined.

It’s important they have a game plan for their company, their team, and themselves.

In this Leading through Change & Adversity session you will learn

-What every leader in your organisation needs to be doing right now to lead the change

-What your team needs to support them in these ever-shifting times

-How to position your whole company for agility and success as the chaos continues

(Includes results of a meta-analysis conducted with myself and Glasgow University on leading and managing through difficult times.)

Make sure you equip the people in your organization who need to embrace and lead this change with the right tools.

We all go through difficult times in our lives. What a lot of people don’t know is that there are tools to keep you sane, healthy, and even upbeat as you tackle those challenges.

I learned a lot of that through my entrepreneurial journey of founding, growing, and selling three software companies, then learned a lot more when I earned my masters degree in psychology and neuroscience certificate.

And where that knowledge really came in handy is when I heard those dreadful words: “you have cancer.”

Now here I am, a cancer survivor, giving you the tools I used in my personal and work life journeys.

And this program isn’t just motivational; you’ll learn the nine key factors that every manager needs to know to keep themselves and their team focused, healthy, and performing, even through the toughest of times.

They are the same tools that I’ve used with my own companies, including one that won the #1 Best Place to Work…even after struggling through the great recession and a huge lawsuit.

Attendees will learn;

-How to create a culture of change so that your team agility becomes a long-term competitive advantage

-The one seldom-used tool to keep positive even when things look tough

-How to communicate (and how NOT to communicate) during crises and difficult times

-How to give yourself the strength to be the leader your team needs right now

After all, everyone is going through a lot of change right now. When you can give your team what they need to rise above it, there are huge opportunities out there.

Everyone has heard about emotional intelligence though not so many people know how to utilize it to make their team resilient, healthy, and high-performing.

When R. Michael Anderson started out as a leader, he struggled.

As a programmer, project manager, and account manager, he understood business, though not emotional intelligence – especially as it applied to leadership.

It was difficult for him and his team…until he decided to do something about it.

After earning a masters degree in psychology and later a neuroscience certificate, he started to “get it.”

He applied what he learned there and his companies went on to be on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest growing companies, voted the #1 Best Place to Work, and Michael was nominated for the Most Admired CEO.

Now YOU can learn what it takes to connect and lead your team for growth, health, and high-performance.

Attendees will learn;

-What empathy really is, why your staff are craving it, and how to give that to them

-How to have a deep self-awareness of your own drivers and how it affects your relationships

-How to earn respect and create life-long loyalty from your team and others around you

-The direct evidence-based link between emotional intelligence, leadership, and performance

Give yourself and your team the #1 skill that every leader needs.

(**Also available is Michael’s well known Leadership Assessment, where leaders can learn what their drivers, strengths, and blind spots are, a great tool for instant insight.)

Testimonials

DIGIT events had the pleasure of inviting Michael to present to some of Scotland’s most influential IT & Digital Leaders in May 2017. Rather than waxing lyrical from an organisers point of view (I thought he was outstanding BTW) , here’s what the delegates thought. “Really enjoyed R. Michael Anderson and what a great way to finish.”

“Would have loved to have had more time to cover Michael Andersons leadership presentations!”

“Excellent ideas on leadership, mesmerised!”

We’re looking forward to welcoming Michael back to Scotland and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his unique style and content to any event organiser.

Ray Bugg

Founder DIGIT.FYI

“Michael gave a keynote speech during a European Uber team event in December of 2016. He was talking to a group of high-performers that started to feel the weight of too many stressful days, nights in the office, and constant uncertainty while running flat out for months. During the talk, Michael focused on:

– efficient work vs “work”

– prioritization

– controlling oneself

– forging and giving a response versus an emotional reaction to a situation

– living and acting with compassion

He gave a number of personal stories, often spiced up with humour when touching on each topic. That also allowed the audience to personally connect to each situation and remember them going forward. Michael managed, only within one hour, to relax, energize and pump up the team to go head on into new challenges. Thanks Michael!”

Davor Tremac

General Manager Southeast Europe, Uber
