• Topics & Issues

  Keynote presentation

  1000 Words
  with Dr. Patrick Jinks

  What makes a good photograph? For award-winning professional photographer and board-certified leadership coach Dr. Patrick Jinks, the answer is that it tells a story. But in his case, it tells a leadership story. In this inspiring keynote, Patrick will share what his photography has taught him about leadership and vice versa. Participants will view some of Patrick’s favorite photos through the lens of leadership. What does a 5-year-old girl have to do with being open to multiple solutions? What does a wedding have to do with comfort? What does the Goodyear blimp have to do with risk management? Patrick entertains, informs, and inspires his audience simultaneously.

  Workshops

  1000 Words Coaching Session
  with Dr. Patrick Jinks
  

  • Building on his 1000 Words keynote, Patrick Jinks will facilitate a real-time leadership coaching session with the attendees. Leaders will interact with one another while building leader plan tenets to take home and implement. With a photographic context to inspire them, the leader plans will shape a path toward the leaders’ intentions around preparation, mastery, risk assessment, prioritization, ideation, presence, and even self-care.

  Building Your Dream Team
  with Erin Hall

  • Hiring and developing a high-performing team is the single most critical strategic goal that a leader can have for their organization. This session will focus on how to think about your talents, experiences, skills and role and how to build a team of professionals who not only support the work of the organization but support your vision. We will touch on diversity, equity and bias mitigation in the hiring process, retention of staff, difficult hiring situations and on-boarding/engagement of new hires.

  This workshop will be interactive, inviting participants to ask questions and share examples of hiring challenges they’ve experienced so that the group can offer potential solutions, while the presenter provides best practices.

  “Building Your Dream Team” is designed to engage executive directors and CEOs and will teach best practices for hiring the best possible staff for your team—and how to keep them.

  Participants will leave with ideas for how to design their hiring process regardless of the size of their organization. They will take away actionable next steps so that they can achieve their goals of a high-functioning team that leads their organization to the next level.

  Learning objectives:

  • How to build a hiring process that involves the right members of your organization.
  • How to mitigate bias in hiring and work toward inclusive excellence.
  • How to onboard new team members and keep them engaged.
