Mindfulness matters. It has never been more important in our uncertain world.

The problem is, we are too mind-full! Busyness has become a disease.

What about the heart?

leading transformational culture change

Virtual PresentationKeynote PresentationWorkshop SessionHalf Day TrainingFull Day Training
Most of us are familiar with the famous Peter Drucker saying, “Culture will eat Strategy for breakfast.” This is truer than ever. But leading complex change is tough!

One of the key problems is, culture is too often top-down vs inclusive.

If we want to instill high levels of commitment, empowerment, accountability with culture transformations, we need to co-create vs dictate.

In this experiential and practical keynote, Tim provides useful frameworks, inspiring stories and exercises to share and unpack critical success factors for complex culture change. Transformational change at its core is identity work and an inside-out discovery process that requires, vision, heart and focused commitment. It’s not for the faint of heart and just doesn’t work with old school, didactic leadership.

storytelling to fuel inspiring leadership

Virtual PresentationKeynote PresentationWorkshop SessionHalf Day TrainingFull Day Training

Leveraging his professional acting training, he creates unforgettable experiences using the inspiring leadership stories from the Stories Rule! library to support key conference outcomes and energize his audiences.
