    The Essence of Leadership with Larry Center

    What is the essence of leadership? If we knew the one correct answer to that question, we would all implement the agreed-upon best practices and spend our careers as exemplary leaders - in our office, in our community organizations and in our families. Unfortunately, there is no single simplistic route to becoming an admired and respected leader but there ARE proven pathways. There are helpful hints. There are tested paradigms. These can all point us in the right direction as we understand our own unique leadership journeys. During this fast-paced, interactive presentation, leadership coach and consultant Larry Center will share a lifetime of leadership wisdom, boiling his own learning down to its essence.

    Leading to Happiness: Practicing Positive Developmental Leadership with Dr. Mark Taylor

    Research in the fields of positive psychology and happiness studies offer powerful insights into the abilities of people to live happier and more meaningful lives, with implications for leadership approaches.  When positivity is combined with a growth perspective, the result is improved quality of life for workers and improved workplace outcomes ranging from quality and quantity of worker productivity to improved employee retention and satisfaction.  This program will offer an overview of the research based principles of positive psychology and happiness studies with specific implications for personal living, workplace management and employee supervision and leadership.
