Based on my 1st book. This speech begins with the story of two identical people under a different work environment, one great and the other bad. I share with the audience the status of the current workforce, highlighting employee disengagement, its causes and cost. I present the "Leadership Gap," a graphical representation of where leaders place their emphasis and the cost of it. Then I take the audience through an approach I call "Investing in People." Here I share stories of how I invested in my people in the Army and how they can in their organization. This includes a foundation of leadership (vision, values, culture), self-awareness and introspection and truly knowing your people. The speec ends with a call to action for leaders to take small, yet concrete steps to invest in their people.

Crisis is coming to all of us and our organizations. Are you ready to prepare for it, lead through it, and learn from it? This keynote address takes the audience to the battlefield of Afghanistan where a soldier is killed, and an organization is thrust into crisis. It then translates battlefield lessons learned for the leader and the private business or organization. Inspire, educate, and motivate your organization with this powerful keynote.
