Program Topics

Lindsay ClarkeIf Networking Is So Important How Come No One Has Taught Me How?

Lindsay Clarke & Alyce Blum, Articulated Intelligence

We’ve all been told that networking is critical to business and leadership, yet it’s not taught in school, at home or at work. We are here to change that. Whether you’re an introvert or an extrovert (and let’s be real, 99% of us feel a bit introverted when it comes to networking), this session provides planning, execution and follow-up tactics along with practical application exercises so you can increase your Return on Networking (RON). 

Flipping the Script on Conflict to Transform Your Workplace Culture

Lindsay Clarke & Alyce Blum, Articulated Intelligence

Most people struggle with conflict, often feeling they can't be both likable and assertive. As leaders, navigating tough conversations is crucial but uncomfortable. Tension and toxicity can kill productivity, often due to a lack of skills or mindset for handling difficult discussions. In this session, you'll learn the benefits of embracing conflict, preparing for tough conversations and using practical tips to navigate them gracefully. Discover how viewing conflict as a growth opportunity can enhance productivity and morale, transforming your workplace culture.
