True LeadershipKeynote Speaker
At the end of it you want your attendees to be charged up and conversation flowing about their experience with you regardless how long or short a time they spend at your event. Keynote speakers are often chosen for their expertise, credibility, charisma and their ability to inspire and educate audiences facilitating their personal growth.
Ryan and Trish from True Leadership exemplify all the qualities necessary to deliver impactful and meaningful experiences through their presentations that help drive growth and success. We facilitate meaningful dialogue with our audiences that fosters learning, growth and ignites a positive change in our audiences. We also have a lot of fun while doing it!
At True Leadership we offer topics like:
- Building your Leadership Brand – In this session we explore what it is to be a leader, discover what qualities we value and respect as leaders and the qualities that we do not care for. From there we then look at the qualities that make up your individual brand to bring forth authentic leadership. In knowing your brand you will foster more trust, respect and will increase your ability to lead your team more effectively.
- Listening to Understand – It's funny we are taught at a very young age how to speak, and we refine our skill in doing so as we add to our vocabulary, yet when you look back and think long and hard about it when were we taught to listen? It is said many times over in numerous books on good communication that we should listen more than we talk. In this session we focus on active listening, empathetic engagement and interpreting both verbal and nonverbal cues.
- Building Trust – Trust is at the centre of every good relationship whether it be professional or personal. When trust is present, we have better communication, more confidence and stronger engagement with our teams. Trust reduces conflict, enhances problem solving and provides for a more positive environment to work in. Working in a positive environment with high engagement leads to higher productivity and better quality. In this session we will go over the ingredients to build trust, how trust can be lost and the massive price we pay when that happens.
- Delivering Feedback – Delivering feedback is essential to drive personal and professional growth. Feedback helps people understand what their strengths are and areas they can improve upon. Yet it is one of the aspects of leadership that most people shy away from. You would never see the head Coach of a sports team start the season off telling the team to go out there and win it and then not talk to them again until the end of the season, no the coach is there giving the team feedback regularly. So, what stops us from delivering feedback to our teams? In this session we will go over a feedback model, equip participants with skills on delivering effective feedback, communication techniques and strategies for managing different responses.

Educational Content – Beyond inspiration you want your Keynote speaker to provide educational content, something your audience can wrap their brain around.

The answer is one bite at a time! In sessions focused on "Building Your Leadership Brand," attendees learn about the importance of authenticity, decision making and judgement.

Interaction and Engagement – For some Keynote speakers this can be challenging, for Trish and Ryan this is essential! We create space for our audience to be part of the presentation not just witness it. By asking questions, getting feedback and also with Q&A sessions your audience will feel like they have been heard and that the presentation reflects the speakers understanding of the needs of the audience. These interactions deepen and forward the learning, allowing participants to apply their knowledge of the topic in real time.

Whether the room is full of senior executives, frontline managers or a mixture of everything in between, we tailor the content to resonate with unique dynamics whatever your group might be.
