What’s the difference between a successful leader and a not-so successful one? It must be the training, right? Successful ones have more and better training. Or it could be college degrees, couldn’t it? Or professional designations, right? I mean, if a leader receives excellent training, education, and certification, he must be destined for success, right? Hardly. We all know people possessing the right degrees from the best schools who then add to their academic credentials professional designations, so after the comma behind their last names you’ll find a trail of letters like Ph.D, CPA, PMP, ERP, CRM, SCP, etc. Yet those letters do little to guarantee success. In truth, most successful business leaders have fewer degrees, but know how to build more rewarding relationships. Scott Carbonara, aka, The Leadership Therapist, first developed his relationship building-skills while working with some of the most difficult clients: dysfunctional families consisting of juvenile delinquents and abusive parents. He then moved to a multi-billion dollar healthcare company in corporate America where he learned to connect with a very different breed of individuals and leaders: senior executives and employees. Today, Scott shares his 8 Relationship-Building Tools in this highly entertaining yet relevant keynote. As a result of this session, participants will be able to:
Understand and resist the fallacy of an outside-in perspective;
Grasp the importance of relationships—by the numbers—in order to avoid becoming just another statistic; and
Apply 8 relationship-building tools at work and beyond.
