Join us in this one-of-a-kind “visual interview” and this imperative discussion. It “is” time for leadership. This means that it is time to step up and broaden the reach of leadership to all levels within the organization and create a leading organization. Time for leadership also means making “time” for leading. Leaders who don’t have time aren’t leading. Time for leadership is an awakening in modern leadership.

Special Lunch and Learn Webinar - Time for Leadership: Finding an Hour to Lead

Thursday, August 1, 2013 from 12:00-12:50 PM Pacific Time

Space is limited.

So many attendees enjoyed this special webinar on 7/17 that we decided to offer a second session!

Leaders today are challenged with finding time to lead! Based on one of our surveys, 3.27 hours are spent on e-mail every day, not to mention the never-ending to-do lists, back-to-back meetings, changing priorities, and the increasingly complex work environment and virtual workforce—all leaving not much time for leading. This translates to an inability to coach and develop people, difficulty staying strategic, and struggling with creative problem-solving and innovation. Not having time to lead isn't just a side effect; it is a core threat to leadership.  

What could you do in your workweek to find an hour to lead? How about an hour a day? Or several hours a day? In this inspiring and innovative session, based on his revolutionary Accomplishing More Leadership Program, Pierre Khawand, Founder & CEO of People-OnTheGo, demonstrates exactly how you can find that hour to lead -- by focusing on results, strategic thinking, emotional acumen, self- and team-awareness, and even more time-saving techniques.

Key takeaways:

• New insights into time, the perception of time, and the multi-dimensional aspects of working effectively to speed up progress and win the war against the clock.

• Practical techniques that can lead to behavioral changes, then develop into practices, enabling you to rewire your brain and augment your leadership potential.

• Redefining "play time" and adopting innovative ways to get rejuvenated, which will help you discover whole new levels of creativity, happiness, and fulfillment.
