Business today can be like an extreme sport. The new normal is fast, lean and disruptive.  As a result, organizations require Leaders who can lead strategically and who are capable of navigating the turbulence embedded in change.  

But what does it mean to Lead Strategically?  How do Strategic Leaders THINK & ACT?   John's experiences and passion for helping organizations flourish will leave you motivated to work with your leadership team to do the same.

Mike's engaging and entertaining presentation skills are sure to lighten up this weighty topic. Learn what businesses can do to prepare for the legalization of marijuana and what you should be doing now if being asked to accommodate medical marijuana in the workplace. The war on weed has long been fought in the courts and we are seeing an increase in battles in the workplace. This session will arm you with strategies to defend your turf while negotiating through the legal minefields.   
Session Speaker
HR as Business Leaders - Why is this a challenge?
  

Do you want to be heard by your leadership team? Can you articulate how human capital beyond engagement and culture, can drive business decisions? Are you measuring the right things? David has spent years researching these questions and more and will be sharing his findings to help us understand how to drive the business, not just support the business.
