As we close out 2021, goal planning for the year to come is a primary focus for most of us. From maximizing business potential to being the best version of ourselves, it can be a challenge to fit all of our ambition into achievable action. Join Kimberly to talk about mud pies and moonshots, a framework that will ensure a solid foundation to keep your goals on an upward trajectory.

When we think about the success of leaders, it’s fairly simple to quantify the characteristics and behaviors that indicate effectiveness. There is one more ambiguous component, however, and its one that is perhaps the most vital in the long-term success of a leader: executive presence. It’s easy to identify when it’s lacking but can be challenging to articulate what needs to be done to improve it.

Humans have gone through a lot in the last two years. With the emergence of a pandemic and the continued need to adjust and adapt our version of “normal,” a secondary pandemic has come on scene: burnout. We all have a pandemic story, and as the demands of work and home-life continue to evolve, people are becoming exhausted in a big and damaging way. It’s time to start the conversation about how we’re doing, really, and understand how we can better care for ourselves, our families, and those we work with.

The call to action for leaders in the workplace is enormous, but it isn’t the only factor in determining the success and efficacy of a workplace. Workplace culture is just as important, if not more so; good leadership alone is not enough to offset the challenges of an undefined culture. While we are all well-versed in participating in cultures, understanding how to build and influence the culture of our workplace requires more finesse and attention. KKL will walk through the building blocks of culture and give clarity to the vital task of ensuring your company’s culture is giving way to the groundwork of success.
