Presentation and Training Topics
TOPIC
Resilient Leadership
KEY TAKEAWAYS
How to confidently manage change during disruption by leading with a growth mindset
Hands-on skills and techniques in effective leadership, change management, interpersonal communication, personal resilience, and cross-cultural understanding
DESCRIPTION
When change occurs, teams immediately look to their leaders for guidance. If those leaders aren’t equipped to tackle obstacles and handle change themselves, it stalls innovation and success.
18 Coffees teaches leaders how to manage change as a core competency through the firm’s Change Leadership Compass — a proprietary tool that has been used to teach leaders from across the globe how to develop a set of internal and external key skill sets.
This workshop is designed to be dynamic and interactive to keep participants engaged. Training module topics may include: Adaptability, Emotional Intelligence, Cultural Intelligence, Curiosity, Clarity & Vision Casting; Communication; Distributed Ownership; or Process & Prioritization.
TOPIC
Communicating Up, Down, and Across
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Information and feedback doesn’t (and shouldn’t) exclusively travel from the top down, but rather up, down, and sideways across teams
Tools for communicating feedback, managing across audiences, overcoming resistance, resolving conflict, and how to lead with a growth mindset
DESCRIPTION
Understanding communication flow within your team is essential to success, especially in a remote or hybrid work setting. How can you best close communication loopholes, distribute feedback, and manage not only up to your leaders, but across levels to your peers?
Throughout this interactive workshop, 18 Coffees guides teams as they analyze how they communicate differently to managers, team members, and direct reports. Our hands-on exercises examine the language we use and how it gets interpreted — and misinterpreted — by each audience. Participants leave with a better understanding of their communication styles, armed with the tools needed to bridge gaps in communications across internal teams.
TOPIC
Leading Through Uncertainty: The New Rules of Organizational Transformation
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Organizational paralysis is death in a fast-moving, chaotic world
Change management can't be a linear process; change has to become a core competency, because organizations that get stuck are going to lose to those who are more nimble and adaptive
Companies must put a big focus on internal communications and employee engagement, so employees are brought into the change direction
DESCRIPTION
The impact of a second Trump administration in the U.S. are far from certain, but what we can expect is the kind of day-to-day chaotic news cycles that will tax the mental energy of employees and the time of executive decision makers. Meanwhile, the CEO says bring everyone back into the office. The CTO says it’s time to train everyone to use A.I. (or be replaced).
How do you effectively lead your people when we have new disruptions to respond to every single day?
Leaning on his extensive experience in leadership, technology, and political activism—including leading digital strategy for U.S. President Barack Obama, the "Change" President—Caleb Gardner explores key themes from his book, No Point B, to make a compelling case for understanding change as a core organizational competency.
