We are living in a time of rapid change and uncertainty, where employees and organizations are feeling the strain. With Millennials and Gen Z set to make up two-thirds of the global workforce by 2030, many of these emerging leaders are highly skilled but ill-prepared for the challenges of leadership. Meanwhile, Baby Boomers are retiring in droves, and constant business disruptions are the new norm. In this turbulent environment, stress often boils over, resulting in toxic work cultures, disengagement, and higher turnover. Research shows that employees are ten times more likely to leave due to toxic environments than poor compensation.

In this compelling, data-driven keynote, Gregg Ward demonstrates how we can overcome these challenges by creating Actively Respectful Cultures™. By focusing on emotionally intelligent leadership and fostering respect at all levels, leaders can turn adversity into opportunity, driving employee engagement, performance, and loyalty. Through humor, storytelling, and audience participation, Gregg shares how cultivating respect in the workplace can lead to higher levels of collaboration, trust, and success.
