  What makes certain professionals rise above the rest? Why do some individuals consistently take initiative, solve problems, and inspire those around them, while others struggle to stand out? In her bestselling book, Impact Players: How to Take the Lead, Play Bigger, and Multiply Your Impact, renowned leadership coach and researcher Liz Wiseman uncovers the mindset and behaviors that set top performers apart.
  
  In every organization, Impact Players are the go-to colleagues—the ones entrusted with critical assignments, who bring energy and innovation to their work, and who elevate the performance of those around them. Managers recognize their immense value and want more of them on their teams, whether they lead from center stage or behind the scenes.
  

  
  Join us for an exclusive conversation with Liz Wiseman as she shares compelling insights from her research with 170 leaders at top organizations like Google, NASA, LinkedIn, and Adobe. Through real-world examples and actionable strategies, Wiseman reveals what the most influential players are doing differently, how small and seemingly insignificant differences in how we think and act can make an enormous impact, and why—with a little coaching—this mindset is available to everyone who wants to contribute at their highest level and do more meaningful work.

  • How Impact Players think and act differently in the workplace
  • Strategies for navigating uncertainty and solving messy problems with confidence
  • Ways to increase your influence and value within your organization

  We’ve all been there—facing a system that’s inefficient, a team stuck in a rut, or a process that drains time and energy. In business, as in life, the biggest obstacles aren’t always a lack of effort or resources—it’s getting stuck in the way things have always been done. Are you ready to move beyond the stagnation and jumpstart real change? Join us for a conversation with bestselling author Dan Heath as he shares insights from Reset: How to Change What’s Not Working, and discover which small, targeted shifts can unlock meaningful progress in your workplace—and your life.
  
  Changing how we work can feel overwhelming. Like trying to budge an enormous boulder even an inch, it’s easy to find ourselves stifled by the gravity of the way we’ve always done things. We spend so much time fighting fires while scrambling to meet the “priority of the day” that we lack the energy to shift direction. But the good news is, with the right strategy, we can move that boulder further than we ever thought possible.
  
  In Reset, Heath shares a powerful yet practical approach for overcoming inertia and unlocking forward progress in any aspect of life. The secret is to find “leverage points” — places where a little bit of effort can yield outsized results—and then thoughtfully rearrange resources to push on those points even further. Heath weaves together fascinating case-studies, ranging from a freakishly effective fast-food drive-thru to an inspirational campaign that saved a million cats, to demonstrate how organizations have successfully tackled inefficiency, empowered teams, and created sustainable change without the frustration of wasted efforts or disengagement.

  
  
  During this session, you will learn to:

  • Recognize hidden barriers to progress and overcome them with strategic small shifts
  • Make smarter, more effective changes without needing more time, money, or resources
  • Find motivation and momentum by focusing on what drives real results
  • How to eliminate wasteful processes and refocus efforts on what truly moves the needle
  • Apply these insights anywhere—whether at work, at home, or in your community
  • If you’re ready to rethink outdated processes, drive strategic improvements, and lead change with confidence, don’t miss this opportunity to gain insights from one of today’s top business thinkers.

  
  About the Author:  Dan Heath is the #1 New York Times bestselling co-author (or author) of five beloved business books: Switch, Made to Stick, Decisive, The Power of Moments, and Upstream.
