I empower high-potential professionals, students, and organizations to lead with emotional intelligence, cultural fluency, and strategic clarity.
The 2nd Annual Rotary Means Business Conference was hosted at Rotary International this past weekend, where I had the opportunity to learn from and network with an array of leaders, coaches, consultants, and entrepreneurs. Elmhurst University was one of the signature sponsors of the event, represented by our faculty Vania Adams Kortney Peagram, Ph.D. Emmanuel Neal, PhD, BCC, our students Mia Reyes Viviana Fuentes Kinga Jamrozik and John Witcher Mariya Williams I appreciate conferences where enlightenment is at the center of the engagement. Andre Adams, Vania Adams Michael Shoultz, PhD Nicole Wozniak, CRP and the rest of the RMB Committee members did not disappoint!??The intentionality in aligning speakers and breakouts created numerous opportunities for attendees to expand their knowledge! I delivered Navigating the Generational Shift??, an alternative to what has been called a generational conflict. Effective communication, and leveraging resources are key factors to help mitigate distractions in the workplace. I shared The Number One Skill (T#1S) (Alexander Kulesza and Julie Kulesza) as a tool to help #Millennials and #GenZ emerge in the workplace as more effective communicators ???and decision-makers, the C.A.R.E. Principle, an organizational effectiveness methodology desigend by Ingrid Wallace to help firms improve team engagement, the T2CA Cycle which serves as a model for career enhancement created by We Coach Executives, LLC. It was an honor to share the spotlight ?? with: ?? Erin Ramirez, maximize your adaptability quotient (AQ) ?? Dennis Mellen, strong culture is driven by positive leadership ?? Wendy Davidson, a sense of purpose is a key driver, a North star ?? Vania Adams, Kortney Peagram, Ph.D. and Emmanuel Neal, PhD, BCC shared the impactful work they are doing with the School of Business - Elmhurst University Mentorship Program, which doubled in size due to dedicated mentors and students. Drs. Peagram and Neal provided an overview of Elmhurst University School of Graduate Studies and School of Business - Elmhurst University Executive Coaching Program, an intensive 12 month program that offers a structured coaching certificate backed by a regionally recognized university! #RMB2025
