Leadership through Turbulence – Is Plan “B” Ready?
Turbulence can appear in many forms; bad weather for airlines and farmers, economic challenges to businesses, and global events that we cannot control. Leaders must understand that they probably will have to modify their plan or even switch to “Plan B” if they are to be successful.  We will discuss an actual case involving a major airline that required changes, which became “Plan B”

A Positive Approach to Leadership: Bringing Out and Developing the HERO Within
In this workshop, we will be discussing ways to bring out and develop the “HERO” within. HERO is an acronym for: Hope – The will and way to reach your goals Efficacy – Confidence  Resiliency – Bouncing back and beyond Optimism – Positive explanatory style and expectations  When combined, these psychological strengths form one’s Positive Psychological Capital, or PsyCap for short. Prior research has demonstrated that higher levels of PsyCap are consistently related to positive outcomes in the workplace (e.g., rated performance, organizational commitment, entrepreneurial success). Also, managers or leaders with elevated levels of PsyCap not only have the ability to bounce back after challenging times themselves, but they also can create a contagion effect that can spread positivity throughout an organization.
