This Leadercamp offers a fresh perspective on how learning advisors can become indispensable partners in an organization's growth and adaptability. By emphasizing the role of a learning advisor as a trusted consultant, we’ll redefine the dynamics between L&D professionals and the business leaders they support.
In this Leadercamp, The Trusted Learning Advisor, Chief Learning Officer at BDO and Academic Director for the University of Pennsylvania's CLO doctoral program, Keith Keating draws upon more than 20 years' experience in the Learning and Development (L&D) industry to help learning advisors to elevate their practice and enhance their value within the organization.

Executive presence is the ability to inspire confidence, command respect, and lead with authenticity. In this Leadercamp, you’ll explore the key components of executive presence, including effective communication, emotional intelligence, and decision-making under pressure.
In today’s fast-paced and interconnected world, executive presence is more than just a leadership advantage—it’s a critical differentiator for career success. Whether you're presenting ideas in high-stakes meetings or navigating complex team dynamics, your ability to project confidence and remain composed during challenging moments, directly influences how others perceive your leadership potential and readiness for greater responsibilities.
Join us in Monica Kerik’s Elevate Your Executive Presence Leadercamp to learn about executive presence, which is the ability to inspire confidence, command respect, and lead with authenticity.
In this Leadercamp, participants begin by reflecting on a recent change they experienced, recalling the sequence of events and how it impacted them emotionally. This reflection sets the stage for understanding the distinction between change (the thing that happens) and transition (the emotions and feelings associated with it).
Using the Change Styles Indicator Model, participants identify their personal change style and explore how their preferences impact those around them. In group discussions, they share their examples and consider how their change style influenced their experience, identifying two key takeaways to apply in future changes.
To close the session, participants are provided with practical tips for leading their teams through change and transitions. They then commit to two specific actions they will practice with their teams to better support them through future changes.
Join us in Vic Smith’s Navigating Change and Transitions with Ease Leadercamp, and learn some of the skills necessary to successfully navigate change and transitions—with ease.

As we navigate the complexities of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in today’s workplaces, we find ourselves at a critical juncture. The success of DEI initiatives is intrinsically linked to the active engagement of men. However, these initiatives can sometimes be perceived as antagonistic towards men, creating a paradox that needs addressing.
Men’s issues are pressing and multifaceted, yet they are often overlooked in the broader DEI discourse. This oversight calls for a deeper and more nuanced understanding that transcends simplistic notions of male privilege and surface-level allyship. It is imperative to recognize that men should also be beneficiaries of gender equity.
In this upcoming Leadercamp, we will delve into the intricate relationship between men and DEI. Our discussions will aim to uncover the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, focusing on strategies to bridge the empathy gap and make DEI truly inclusive for everyone.

Digital transformation efforts face significant challenges, with failure rates as high as 69%. A key factor contributing to this failure is human resistance.
