Inspire your leaders, and explore the instincts behind teamwork
With Dr. Maddalena as keynote speaker, you will embark on a captivating journey with your team as you delve into the hypothetical world of dog sledding. Here you will immerse yourselves in the authentic narratives of teamwork, brought to life through the unique experience of leading a sled into the sunrise. Allow your leaders to take the reins and witness firsthand how instinctual teamwork unfolds, seamlessly merging with the natural beauty of the surroundings. This adventure promises not only an unforgettable experience but also valuable insights into the dynamics of teamwork, fostering a stronger, more cohesive bond among your team members.
How do you find success and harmony in your work and home life?
While no one has found the perfect balance, you can forge your own trail to a sense of belonging by challenging your habits and seeking a life that brings you value.
To inspire you to focus on your work and personal goals, Dr. Maddalena has introduced the concept of trail markers to the hundreds of global leaders she has coached during her 40-year career. We learn from our experiences, stored in our memory to be recalled as needed. By sharing her stories and their stories on the job, you will hear events from the audacious to the funny, from the sad to revealing the ever-enduring drive of real people as they struggle to find value in their work and home life.
Whether holding a job or building a business, you may occasionally feel alone, isolated, and lost. You will learn that you don’t have to stand in front and shout to lead, that leadership is being a mentor and role model. Take the risk by joining Dr. Maddalena as she uses the analogy of dog sledding to describe those events that define you and how we all benefit from connecting, belonging, and being part of a team.
Dr. Maddalena’s popular INTERACTIVE PRESENTATIONS have guests on their feet, meeting others, and exploring unique approaches to overcome barriers to success. “ON BY” is the dog sled command to get off the safe path and move into the deep snow to pass the obstacle blocking your trail. You will discover leadership case studies that explore the importance of self-trust and the value of building trusting relationships by allowing yourself to be vulnerable and take risks. Actual tales from the trail provide narratives of teamwork on the trail and enable you to learn where you would be assigned to a dog sled team by evaluating your strengths and experiences from a new perspective.
When your group seeks a KEYNOTE PRESENTATION, you will be taken on a trail inspiring you to accept risk, understand change, and embrace the transition process. By telling her story, Dr. Maddalena enables you to tell your story, preparing you to encounter events, people, or opportunities on your trail that impact your progress by supporting or hindering efforts in unexpected and challenging ways. You will recognize how embarking on a new trail requires teamwork and may lead to the end of an adventure or take a turn onto a new and exciting opportunity. Exploring instinctual teamwork provides valuable insights into the dynamics of teamwork, leadership, and decision-making. Join Dr. Maddalena on the trail to identify the signposts that will help you live true to your values and move forward in your career.
