LIVING CHANGE
Beginning with his insights on today's global and social trends, Edgar Papke provides a rich tapestry of change from which to better understand the complexities of our fast-paced world. He challenges the myth that people do not like, nor deal well with, change. He suggests that self-knowledge of our beliefs and behaviors, in relationship to our changing world, is the first step in better managing change and the transitions we each undergo. He provides a simple model to better understand ourselves in change and transition, and offers useful strategies for successfully navigating change and creating a better future for ourselves, our relationships, our organizations, and our communities.

LIVING CHANGE, LEADING CHANGE
We can't overstate the influence of the Chief Executive, or leader of an organization, on its ability to create the changes necessary to meet the challenges and complexity of our current business environments.

And, it's only going to become more challenging. Edgar Papke helps to sort out these complexities and provide useful insight into the leadership knowledge and skills required to help organizations successfully align and implement strategies for change. He provides strategies for communication and shares how leaders, at both the top and throughout the organization, can leverage their unique cultures and leadership styles. Beginning with the "Pursuits of Great Leaders", Edgar provides a simple to use approach for strategic and cultural alignment, and offers strategies for leading the hidden-side of change - transition.

FROM CONFLICT TO OPPORTUNITY: Conversations for Change
Anyone that has ever engaged in change in their organization - and their life - understands the stress and anxiety caused by change, and its resulting conflict. Edgar Papke provides us with new insights into the causes of such conflict and the interpersonal challenge associated with change, offering us a radically new view of its value. He suggests that each conflict situation offers us the opportunity for an improvement in organizational and personal performance, and for collaborative resolution. Edgar provides his highly-regarded model for "communicating with intent" and, through lively stories and case studies, demonstrates the power of conflict as a tool for successful change and transition.

THE POWER OF ALIGNMENT:
Leading Your High Performance Team
Edgar Papke has received international recognition for his approach to the development of executive and leadership teams. His unique approach begins with the alignment of the team's purpose and value proposition, to its team culture and leadership influence.

Both thought provoking and straightforward in its application, Edgar offers each attendee the opportunity to define their unique team culture and use a set of practical tools to align the process of "how things get done". The result is the improved capability of the team to create the changes necessary to facilitate higher levels of communication, trust, accountability, and performance.

LEADING WITH INTENT:
Challenging the Leadership Crisis According to Edgar Papke, the inability of leaders to gain the trust of their followers has reached a crisis point. Corporate corruption, the lack of integrity in government, and ongoing scandal involving our leaders has caused a lack of trust and faith in leadership that has reached an unprecedented level. In this thought-provoking presentation, Edgar challenges his audience to create healthier relationships with those they lead, searching for and living the personal intent of their leadership, their core values and beliefs, and leveraging the power each provides. Each attendee will gain insights about themselves and their role as a leader, and create a set of useful action items for immediate application and value.

LEADERSHIP:
The Power of Choice

The key to a leader's ability to succeed long-term lies in their ability to make the right choices in what they do and say. This extraordinary power comes from the ability of leaders to better understand themselves and their behavior, and recognize their choices. Through better knowing themselves, leaders can more effectively influence others, taking them to higher levels of performance and success. Herein lies the most important skill set of a great leader.

Join leadership coach, consultant and speaker Edgar Papke for an insightful group workshop focusing on how you can achieve a higher level of leadership performance through better understanding what lays at your core and who you are as leader. Through a series of experiential learning exercises, you will explore what motivates you, what gets in your own way, and you'll discover the power of getting what you want through the choices you make.
