Employees can be more innovative, engaged and productive by improving their natural curiosity, but they must be trained to do so and be rewarded for their efforts. Harvard Business Review found that while 83 percent of C-suite executives believe they encourage curiosity, only 52 percent of employees feel they are rewarded for their curiosity—and are therefore less likely to provide innovative ideas to the organization. HR professionals and leaders can benefit from recent groundbreaking research discoveries regarding what affects curiosity. Once organizations recognize and overcome the four factors that hold people back from being curious, they can develop training and development plans to unleash it. Learning Objectives: Determine how four factors—Fear, Assumptions, Technology, and Environment (FATE)—have an impact on curiosity. Learn strategies for overcoming the factors that hold back curiosity. Discover the Curiosity Quotient (CQ) and Curiosity Code Index (CCI).

This workshop will address the importance of knowing oneself in order to effectively find our voice as a leader. Presented by Dr. Lisa Templeton, clinical cognitive-behavioral psychologist and author of Letting It Be: Mindful Lessons Toward Acceptance, this hour will provide a forum to aid in staying mindful of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and understanding how these are interconnected and influence our leadership abilities. If we have not accepted ourselves, we have not embraced our power to evolve and become who we are truly meant to be. When we know who we are and understand the workings of our mind and body, we draw on the power to transform ourselves. Three takeaways from the workshop: 1) Learn practices to engage with deeper aspects of yourself; 2) Experience the power of your thoughts, mental images, and emotions; and 3) View yourself from a more objective and compassionate perspective.

Leadership is not about titles and corporate ladders any longer. It’s not a top down philosophy- it’s an inside out one. True leadership is a genuine interest in influencing another’s life in a positive way. And that ability to see the bigger picture, connect deeper, and make a difference is ultimately what reduces everyday stress and creates space for growth, success, stronger relationships, and joy. This dynamic session will help you find the purpose that underlies leadership. We all have a reason, a purpose, something bigger than ourselves that we are meant to do. Heather’s job is to Ignite that Inner Flame, to help you find and use your purpose in a way that fulfills you, so you generate the energy and leadership to light the way for those around you. • Uncover your inner purpose • Release the fears and limits that could keep you from following it • Create your plan of action to move forward as a Purpose Driven Leader For the full version of this talk and 90+ other leadership talks brought to you by the world's most renowned Leadership Experts, get you free ticket via www.theoxygen4leadershipsummit.com

Undoubted progress has been made in the number of women who have entered the workforce over the last 40 years. Graduate recruitment into previously all-male domains has rocketed. But still we have too few women running things. In my experience of coaching professional women at various stages of their career over the last 25 years I have noticed that too many of these highly talented women internalise the challenges they face. Rather than blame a system that can’t cope with the demands of a world where work life and care-giving are becoming 24/7 requirements, women instead work harder and harder to stay on track. How coaching can help: 1) Coaching can help younger women to identify with leadership despite an absence of suitable role models. 2) Coaching expectant and new mothers is vital to help them recognise this as a critical phase for honing their leadership skills. Delegating, decision-making, boundary management and the 20/80 rule can be learned quickly when the prize is more time with your child. 3) Coaching female leaders who find themselves in the minority helps them find strategies for being authentically themselves and yet fit in. 4) Coaching managers of women to ensure they are aware of what they can do to adapt things to encourage more women. In all of these engagements the key is to alert women to the need to push back against a system that no longer fits rehire needs and to unite in doing this.
