Keynote: The Power of Strengths: Behavioral Science Discoveries and Practices to Help You Thrive- with Dr. Tim Hodges, Director of the Clifton Strengths Institute .

The last two years have been challenging, to say the least! From the covid19 pandemic to geopolitical and racial unrest to wild swings in the economy and employment trends, we’ve all been challenged to rethink and reinvent the ways we lead. Ready for some good news? More than 20 years of research in the fields of positive psychology and behavioral economics has led to several tangible discoveries that we can integrate into our leadership. This session will review highlights from the behavioral science research and break it into tangible steps you can take to improve your life and the lives of those you lead and serve. The future is going to look different – let’s do all we can to make sure that it’s going to look better!
