<p>Given the popularity of my <em>Thriving in Turbulent Times </em>webcast on December 3rd (over 550 sites tuned in), I am partnering with the <em>Canadian Society for Training and Development </em>(CSTD) to bring you another fast-paced hour of ideas, inspiration, and how-to applications on developing leadership skills on February 12th. In this unique and rare webcast, I have distilled my last 30 years of work in leadership and organization development helping thousands of people and hundreds of organizations boost their effectiveness. </p>
<p>For this 60 minute complimentary webcast, I’ve condensed the key elements of personal growth (leading from the inside out), leading and developing individuals and teams, navigating change, and building organizational flexibility into five main sections:</p>
<p>1. Change Challenges and Choices<br />
2. Keys to Leading Change<br />
3. The High Performance Balance: Managing Things and Leading People<br />
4. Soft Skills, Hard Results: The Power of Emotional Intelligence<br />
5. Timeless Leadership Principles for Enduring Team and Organizational Success</p>

<p>In December, many locations used the webcast as a team event by gathering people in a conference or board room and projecting the presentation onto a screen. You may want to do the same with supervisors, managers, and executives for this session.</p>

<p><strong>Is the rate of external change exceeding your team or organization’s rate of internal growth? </strong></p>
<p>As we start a new year - and new decade - it’s impossible to predict where all the change swirling around us is heading. But one thing is certain - the pace of change is going to keep accelerating. To thrive in these turbulent times, teams and organizations must change perceptions and behaviors to change results. Now - more than ever - everyone at all levels must be a leader. Everyone must embrace leadership as an action not a position. </p>
<p>We have three ways to help grow teams or organizations @ the speed of change in 2010:</p>
