Real Tact Leadership
What is the secret to building deep self-awareness, unshakeable self-confidence, and unimpeachable self-control in times of conflict? What are the primary skills a leader must possess in order to positively influence others to work through conflict and push through adversity?

How To Deliver an Ideal Message In Less Than Ideal Circumstances
In the face of conflict, adversity, and uncertainty, leaders are expected to lead courageously and communicate competently. Failing to do so can quickly cause conflict to escalate into a crisis. When the message is the difference between success and failure, the messenger has to be ready to deliver.
This keynote will introduce attendees to practical strategies for delivering an ideal message in less-than-ideal circumstances by way of real-world lessons learned from a former hostage negotiator and crisis intervention officer.
