WORKSHOP

Leading from Strength: How Self-Aware Leaders Unlock Team Performance

Leadership has evolved and if your style hasn’t, your team’s engagement and productivity could be paying the price. Gallup’s 2025 Global Workplace Report reveals alarming trends: only 21% of employees and just 27% of managers are engaged, costing organizations over $438 billion annually in lost productivity. In this interactive breakout session, Kristy Bach will guide you through today’s leadership challenges and provide tools to rise above them. Designed specifically for agency owners and employers managing teams of three or more, this workshop will help you uncover your leadership DNA, understand your strengths and stress responses, and learn how to adapt your communication style to effectively lead and motivate your team. Walk away with a modern, human-centered approach to leadership that fosters trust, clarity, and performance—because great leaders aren’t just born, they’re self-aware.
