  Rewrite the Soundtrack: The Lasting Solution for Connected Leadership and Flourishing Teams

  Organizations are desperate to retain employees, increase engagement, manage change, and motivate individuals.
  
  Leaders stand and ask, “Are we all on the same page?” 
  
  But between that question and the interpretations, rarely is everyone in the room in the same book, let alone the same page. Solving that problem starts with stories.
  
  Although organizations often look to stories to improve communication, share their brands, and sell their products, they often overlook the most important aspect of storytelling — the internal story of every person.
  
  Stories are the cornerstone of human understanding and each individual’s internal story shapes far more than just how they interpret information. It’s the catalyst to everything — how they take action, create results, and lead people.
  
  In Rewrite the Soundtrack, Jenn reveals the profound power of internal personality stories on leadership, individual motivation, and organizational results. Research shows these self-stories shape the leadership mindset that determines the results of individuals, teams, and organizations. 
  
  Reduce anxiety, boost joy, and improve performance by equipping leaders (and really every complex person in your organization) with the ability to change their internal story.

  Conflict Resolution

  The $668 Billion Opportunity: Using Curiosity to Move through Conflict to Connection
  
  

  Your success as a leader and your organization will rise and fall with your ability to manage conflict. Avoided conflict creates unhealthy and unproductive teams. And mismanaged conflict often strikes more harm than good. Mishandled conflict costs US businesses $668 billion a year (Yes. Billion.)
  
  But it doesn’t have to be that way. Beginning with self-awareness and moving to the skills you need to manage conflict, you can equip yourself to do more than simply address conflict.
  
  You can create peace.
  
  From a recovering conflict avoider who used to moonwalk out of hard conversations, come learn with humor and stories how conflict can be your way to an engaged and flourishing team. (The real-life application of Jenn’s TEDx talk)

  Multigenerational Communication in the Workplace

  The Cross-Generational Jam: Turning Friction into Fusion

  “Kids these days…” “Ok, Boomer.” At best, these snarky phrases are disrespectful. The bigger problem is generational differences are rooted in deeper fears that cause lack of productivity, high employee turnover, and general friction in the workplace.
  
  Although this problem is common, it doesn’t have to be your experience. You can cultivate understanding among the various generations in your organization. 
  
  Learn the power of CLEAN communication to break down intergenerational barriers, transform miscommunication into opportunities for growth, and embrace the power of change as a leader.
  
  With researched-backed communication and social skills, you can lead your organization through the friction of five generations working together to transform into a collaborative work environment.
  
  Create a culture that freely shares ideas and creates shared meaning so you can do effective and powerful work (all with a side of laughter).
