  • New perspectives that make conflict approachable

  • Simple process to resolve conflict quickly

  • How to build a culture that uses conflict to build trust and accountability

Scaling Leadership in Your Organization

Every organization rises or falls on the back of its leadership. The most effective leaders are not only leading, but stimulating leadership above them, provoking leadership around them and growing leadership below them.

This keynote address will illuminate the science of finding these opportunities and behaviors to capitalize on them.

High performing teams generate this dynamic organically. It’s natural and universal, but just be taught and championed. In this keynote address Adrian will rejuvenate this conversation and inspire the room to be ALL IN!
