Leadership Alive: Changing Leadership Practices in the 21st Century Global World
We are now living in the most demanding and perplexing times that leaders have ever faced. Because contemporary culture is changing, new leadership practices are needed to better inspire, educate, and train the emerging Millennials and Generation-Z leaders of the 21st century. This keynote presentation is grounded upon the research findings of 20 national leaders from the East Coast to the Pacific Rim.

The Caring Capitalist: A New ETHIC For a New World
We live in a TGIF world (Twitter, Google, iPhone, and Facebook world). It’s a place in a constant state of flux and fluidity. It’s a world filled with promise and peril, prosperity and poverty, opportunity and challenge, generosity and greed, justice and inequity. In this new global economy, we need more than ever, strong values and ethics to guide us successfully (like guard-rails on the highway) into the future of the unknown. Ethics needs to connect to profits. Gordon Gekko was wrong! Greed is not good. Ethics still matters, because of people matter. If leaders are to stay relevant, grounded and trustworthy, they must possess both “competence AND character,” rather than just “connections and credentials.” This inspirational keynote speech proposes a new ETHIC for a new world (Example, Tolerance, Hope, Integrity, and Character). And this new ETHIC will not disappoint the next generation of emerging leaders.
