Leadership Illusions
Embrace true leadership principles and overcome the obstacles that hold us back.

Drawing from his book, Leadership Illusion, 21 Things People Believe About Leadership That Are Not True, this presentation combines the truths of leadership with some entertaining illusions from Ken’s illusion show that he’s been doing for the last 30 years. Believe the lies and you’ll live them; embrace the truth and you’ll thrive in your leadership journey.

The number one thing that holds organizations back is a lack of communication. Everyone is talking, but very few people actually connect. Drawing from his Amazon best-selling book, DISCover Your Team’s Potential, using the DISC model of human behavior, as well as some jaw- dropping illusions, Ken will show everyone how to understand themselves in a way they never have before. But more importantly, he will show everyone how to understand the people who are around them every day and how to connect with them in a meaningful way.
Attendees will learn:

Many participants leave this session raving about how they finally understand themselves, their co-workers, and families in incredible ways and others they work with in ways which results in better productivity for the organization.
True connection in the workplace is the key to making your productivity soar. Let Ken show you how.
