2024 Fall Leaders Conference with Marcus Sheridan

Marcus Sheridan will join us to lead a workshop on Breakthrough Conversations: How Great Leaders Ask Better Questions, Connect Deeper, and Build an Extraordinary Culture of Growth a transformative approach to workplace conversations for leaders, managers, and team members.
As the modern workplace continues to be reshaped every day and change seems to be the only constant, employees today seek more than mere job titles- they crave growth, fulfillment, and a resonant sense of purpose. They yearn not just to be employed, but to be truly empowered: to think critically, act autonomously, and forge a meaningful impact.
Leadership, too, has undergone a seismic shift. It's evolved beyond the confines of merely building a "business" to crafting a genuine "team"- a symphony of deep, human-to-human connections. This is where you, the leader, turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.
The message is clear: The bar has been raised. For everyone.
So what is the solution to this tremendous challenge? The answer rests on an often over-looked, under-appreciated skill: Better leadership communication. And in this case, as Marcus Sheridan puts it in this powerful and inspiring keynote: Breakthrough Conversations.
The era of surface-level interactions and mediocre communication skills for leaders has passed. In its place rises the need for leaders to communicate in such a powerful way they are able to actively listen, skillfully ask the right questions every time, and inspire their team to greatness in the process. To make this possible, Marcus Sheridan, an expert in the field of communication and leadership, has developed his newest program anchored in a 4-pillar leadership communication framework- intuitive, actionable, and designed to revolutionize the way leaders engage, influence, and connect.
This keynote unfolds the secrets of communication, equipping leaders, managers, and team members with the tools to:
- Elevate every interaction within the workplace, from one-on-ones to team huddles.
- Instill a culture of self-solution and leadership growth within their teams.
- Foster a deeply connected team environment, nurturing loyalty and a profound sense of belonging.
- Engage with customers in a manner that cements trust and resolves concerns with unwavering precision.
Marcus Sheridan's signature approach guarantees an immersive experience, transforming passive listening into active engagement, ensuring that each element of his program doesn't just resonate but truly sticks, with clear, actionable takeaways for all attendees.
This program is ideal for those seeking to enhance their leadership acumen, influence, and communication prowess- fueling a robust company culture, amplified team performance, elevated sales, and fortified employee retention.
Participants will walk away with:
The confidence to transform any challenging interaction into a positive, trust-building moment.
- The blueprint to cultivate a pervasive culture of leadership development.
- The acumen to ask the kind of questions that cut through noise and lay bare the heart of the issue.
- An enhanced awareness of conversation pitfalls and the skills to preemptively address them.
