Are you a genius or a genius maker? We’ve all had experience with two dramatically different types of leaders. The first type drains intelligence, energy and capability from the people around them. These are the idea killers, the energy sappers, the diminishers of talent and commitment. The other type are leaders who use their intelligence to amplify the smarts and capabilities of the people around them. When these leaders walk into a room, ideas flow, problems get solved and success happens. These are the leaders who inspire employees to stretch themselves and get more from other people. These are the Multipliers. Just imagine what your organization could accomplish if you could harness all of the energy and intelligence that sits inside it. In this keynote, New York Times bestselling author and researcher Liz Wiseman will reveal the Multipliers framework and immediately actionable ways to start leading like a Multiplier.

Keynote Elements:

• 90 minutes of highly engaging and interactive content
• Insightful self-reflection that resonates with each attendee
• A powerful but surprisingly simple framework that connects teams by creating a sense of community and using a shared new language
• A design call with Wiseman one month prior to the event where the client shares the organization’s goals for the session, the pressure points they may be dealing with and the desired takeaways for the attendees. From the design call, Wiseman will create a custom keynote that aligns with the organization’s objectives.

Participant Will Learn:

• the resoundingly positive and profitable effect that Multipliers have on organizations
• how to get more done with fewer resources
• how to attract, develop, and retain talent
• how to amplify intelligence and cultivate energy to drive organizational success
• tangible takeaways that make a big impact but are easy to put into action
• how being a Multiplier can lead to greater job satisfaction and fulfillment

In every organization there are Impact Players – those indispensable colleagues who can be counted on in critical situations and who consistently receive high-profile opportunities. Whether they are on center stage or behind the scenes, managers know who these top players are, understand their worth and want more of them on their team. While their impact is obvious, it’s not always clear what actually makes these professionals different from their peers.

In the interactive Impact Players keynote, New York Times bestselling author and researcher Liz Wiseman reveals the secrets of these stellar professionals who perform at a higher level. Drawing on insights from leaders at top companies, Wiseman explains what the most influential players are doing differently, how small and seemingly insignificant differences in how we think and act can make an enormous impact, and why – with a little coaching – this mindset is available to everyone who wants to contribute at their highest level and do more meaningful work.

Wiseman identifies the mindsets that prevent otherwise smart, capable people from contributing at their full potential and the five key practices that differentiate Impact Players: 

•  While others do their job, Impact Players figure out the real job to be done.
• While others wait for direction, Impact Players step up and lead. 
• While others escalate problems, Impact Players move things across the finish line. 
• While others attempt to minimize change, Impact Players are learning and adapting to change. 
• While others add to the load, Impact Players make heavy demands feel lighter. 

Using rich content, memorable visuals and lively discussion, Wiseman engages participants in self-reflection and equips them with actionable takeaways. Participants feel enlightened and motivated to take the lead, play bigger and multiply their impact.
