International Best Selling Leadership Author Bill Treasurer to Provide Keynote at HCI Employee Engagement Conference
Chicago, Illinois (PRWEB) August 29, 2013 -- Our expectations for leaders continue to grow more demanding and complicated each day. International best selling author, Bill Treasurer, feels that the expectations of what it means to be a leader have been unrealistically inflated beyond everyone’s reach. Treasurer, author of “Courage Goes to Work” says that the most important of all business virtues is courage, and that it’s the duty of every leader to build workplace courage. Treasurer has been selected as the keynote speaker for the Human Capital Institute’s Employee Engagement Conference at the Palmer House in Chicago September 23-25, 2013.
“I believe in the work of HCI and am honored to be able to present during this year’s conference,” says Treasurer. “Engaging employees is a business imperative. Inspiring courageous behavior at work is the key to engaging people’s hearts, minds, and hands.”
Sharing from his experience working with thousands of employees across the world, Treasurer will provide specific tips on inspiring more courageous and engaged behavior, understanding the impact of fear on performance as well as how to engage people by modulating comfort and discomfort.
“Smart organizations invest in employee training in such things as conflict management, leadership effectiveness, and negation skills. But until now, they’ve not been able to invest in courage-building training because there haven’t been any courage-building training programs to invest in. In my talk I’ll share how by first building workplace courage allows all those other training programs to be more powerful.“
Other presenters for the conference include Cathy Benki, Vice Chairman and Managing Principal at Deloitte LLP; Monika Fahlbush, SVP Global Employee Success, Salesforce; Ellie Gates, Director of Management Effectiveness & Performance, Adobe; Janice Weiss, Director of Recognition and Engagement Marketing, Macy’s Inc.; Ginger Gregory, Chief Human Resources Officer, Dunkin’ Brands, Inc.; Ed Martin, Chief Learning Officer, Pandora; and Lisa Lewis, Manager, Organizational Change Management, Mercedes-Benz Financial Services.
