Corporate Social Responsibility is still seen as a trade-off between profit and expense. However, in the new age of B-Corporations, Social Enterprises and a younger workforce that increasingly values purpose over profit, that thinking has to change. Besides the CEO, the leader that is in the thick of these discussions is the CFO. In this presentation, participants will leave with a clearer understanding of what social responsibility really is and how to reframe the conversation from how much it costs to how much value it provides."
Rick Lochner is the President of RPC Leadership Associates, Inc. where he helps Business Owners, Corporate and Non-Profit Leadership Teams and Individual Professionals Make Leadership a Way of Life. Read more about Rick.

In her work with high-achieving corporate leaders and business owners, Dr. Donna discovered a collection of characteristics common among this group, that she came to term High Achievers Syndrome™ (HAS). When in balance these characteristics allow the high-achiever to thrive in their success, but when left unchecked high achievers can find themselves spiraling into exhaustion, health issues, and disrupted family relationships; all symptoms leading to burnout. In this one hour webinar, Dr. Donna will share how to:
- Identify the characteristics of HAS ™ that makes high achievers more susceptible to burnout and the ability to identify employees that may need additional support
- Understand the role and impact of current issues such as COVID-19 on the potential for burnout
- Know the 3-pronged approach for preventing and recovering from burnout
- Learn practical strategies to implement this approach on a daily basis
Dr. Donna Marino is a Psychologist and Executive Coach who excels in helping Executives and Business leaders move from frustrated and overwhelmed to innovative, energized, and focused. Read more about Dr. Marino.
