Business Transformation Keynote Presentation

Disruption, change, and transformation are some of the new buzzwords that have emerged over the last few years. Often the words “change” and “transformation” are used interchangeably, but they are very different. Change is an event. It’s about using external influences to modify external actions to achieve desired outcomes. Change needs to be monitored and maintained.

Transformation is an Inside

On the other hand, a transformation begins first inside a person, team, or organization and then works its way out to external actions. Transformation is an inside job. Because it originates first inside (thinking, perspectives, nature, or function), transformation is much broader in its ripple effect for achieving lasting results.

Transformation is Different Than Change

Transformation is a process of renewal, metamorphosis, and a new beginning. It is an internal fundamental change in a person’s, team’s, or organization’s beliefs or culture that motivates and fuels external action and outcomes. Transformation does not require any external influence to maintain, and because of its nature (inside-out), transformation is more likely permanent.

Professional Transformation: What Got You Here Won’t Get You There

The axiom, “What got you here won’t get you there” is more true today than ever before. To “get there,” companies need a constellation of leaders that not only understand business transformation but have experienced a personal transformation. If you want to transform your business you first have to learn how to transform yourself and “keep transforming” yourself as a leader.

Transformed Leaders Manage Differently

When a person’s leadership style has been influenced by personal transformation it has a profound effect on how business transformation unfolds. When a leader or team experiences personal growth and transformation it has a direct and powerful effect on and through him/her. There is a ripple effect. Transformed people lead differently because they are different. This was true of world-class leaders such as Mahatma Gaudi, Martin Luther King, Jr., Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, and it’s true for us. They transformed themselves before they transformed the world.

Personal Transformation Empowers Professional Transformation

Transformed leaders leverage strengths and manage limitations in themselves and with others more effectively. They possess clearer self-awareness and honed self-management skills. They handle stress better. They employ communication strategies that connect with colleagues, especially, in times of stress, chaos, pressure, and conflict. Because they connect better with people they build trusted relationships. This gives them more leadership credibility because trust is the new currency in business.

The Five Catalytic Drivers That Fuel Transformation

This keynote presentation unpacks the five catalytic drivers behind the personal and professional transformation. It will demonstrate how these personal drivers tie directly into business transformation. This talk will inspire and inform audiences on how to “disrupt themselves in order to transform themselves” and experience a new dimension of leadership growth and capacity that can impact your company in profound ways.

Attendees will be able to assess where they need to adjust their cadence and routines in order to set themselves up to “ride the wave” of transformation. They will learn how to initiate personal transformation and not just do change. Transform You. Transform Business.
