LEADERSHIP KEYNOTE SPEECH SAMPLES

"3 Key Qualities of Leaders and How to Make Them Yours"

You've seen how exceptional leaders stand out, right? They are marked by focused confidence, drive and achievement. Studies at Harvard, Stanford, Bain & Company Consulting, University of Chicago and others show one human trait is foundational and necessary to both leadership and peak performance. The trait? Presence. Further, Ivy League Researcher, Angela Duckworth, identifies two traits as the most common and crucial in life's most successful people. These two traits are also shared by exceptional leaders. The traits? Passion (for a self-defined Purpose) and Perseverance.

Leaders mindfully develop, nurture and employ these three traits in themselves. Really great leaders are also mindful to develop them in those they lead. You and your people want to live exceptional lives with significant accomplishments, right?  If we are to achieve our ambitions, desires and potential, we must develop and employ these three traits in ourselves. If we want to truly stand out, we must facilitate them in others.

WHAT THIS KEYNOTE SPEECH WILL ACCOMPLISH FOR YOU

This keynote pulls you into a story, so you experience, first-hand, the imperative of these three qualities to you, personally. Most importantly, the speech gives you simple mind/brain tools you can use to lead yourself and others to exceptional heights. Tools that empower you to increase, habituate and capitalize on these three traits within yourself.

"Evolution Engineered Us to Fail. Here's How We Can Defeat This..."

Our brains evolved over millions of years (including our predecessors) to achieve two things: survival and procreation. Survival was an immediate and constant drive and need. Procreation? As powerful and fun as it is, it's not as constant a drive or issue. As such, our brains evolved to first and foremost: 1) not focus, 2) constantly seek (potential) threats and 3) run from threats (imagined and real) and 4) to seek and take the path of least resistance.

(You think this might help explain organizational politics and romanitc conflicts?)

Look at those four brain defaults. Do you think they facilitate leadership, exceptionalism or success in modern organizations? Heck no. In fact, personal fulfillment and professional success require the opposites of these four things. The success we all want requires: focus, positive, imaginative creativity and risk and consistently moving passionately towards that risk, as opposed to our brains' imperative of running from real and imagined risk.

"Don't Believe Your Own Press. People Aren't Following You"

Studies show that nearly all managers, and the rest of us, over-estimate how good we are. Especially with "soft-skills" (like leadership) that are hard to quantify.

The psychological phenomenons of the Dunning-Kruger Effect, Optimism Bias, Confirmation Bias  and other well-established psychological tendencies we're all limited by, cause us to over-estimate our skills and effects.

Let's put it this way: have you ever met a manager that fancied themselves a leader? Yet when you looked behind them... Nothing. No-one. Not a single person following them?

Well, as they say, "if you fancy yourself a leader and no-one is following... you're only out for a walk." Is it possible you know a lot of managers who spend their days walking around (while imagining themselves the Pide Piper)? Yeah, me too.

So, what to do? How do you develop exceptional leaders at all levels in your organization? Well, for starters, understanding our inherent limitations is important. But, important though that is, and in spite of the famous quote, knowledge is NOT power. What IS power is the effective, consistent -- USE of knowledge.
