Side B: Remix Your Leadership Style

Today’s leaders spend so much time sitting in meetings and analyzing data, they risk losing the focus on their greatest asset – people. The result is high staff turnover, a recession-proof labor shortage, and low productivity, impacting the bottom line.

What if we could tap into music to unlock the leadership skills inside us? Music provides the soundtrack of our lives, so why not tap into our playlist at work? Now more than ever, it’s time to remix your leadership style.

Paula S. White, The Leadership DJ, teaches leaders to Reflect, Refine, and Remix, in a 45-minute keynote that uses music as a universal language that speaks to us all. She shows leaders how to use both Side A (Resume Skills) and Side B (People Skills) to become both business savvy and intentionally connected to people. Just like some songs provide peace and comfort while others give us energy and spark empowerment, music supports Paula’s “Both/And” Approach to Leadership. The result is a leadership style for the times that encourages people to bring their whole selves to work for better worker retention and greater productivity.

Target audience: Business owners, Leaders, Women in Leadership and Emerging Leaders. Technical Equipment I will bring is a DJ Media Board.
