This approach leads to increased workload, decreased productivity, and unrealized potential.\n\nThe impact-driven leader, on the other hand, knows how to make meaning out of their sacrifice to regain personal engagement, determine their direction to sharpen focus and renew relationships to grow from every frustration. In this interactive session we'll explore the three pillars of Impact Leadership: \n\nImpact\nDiscover how mindfulness goes beyond stress relief, evolving into a powerful tool to upgrade your mindset. Learn to be present, engaged, and leverage circumstances to nurture other leaders.\n\nRight Action\nMove beyond empathy and embrace the art of serving others. Learn to take appropriate actions that alleviate suffering without resorting to rescuing, fostering a culture of empowerment.\n\nRight Motive\nUnderstand that the motive behind your actions is as crucial as the actions themselves.  Honest self-reflection allows you to demand more without compromising respect.\n\nWhether you're a parent, business owner, CEO, team leader, or member of a team if you find yourself dreading the responsibility of work, feeling increasing frustration with your team or family, or growing bitter in your closest  relationships, the Lead for Impact framework offers a solution.\n\nPresenter:\n\nReagan Pugh is a sought-after keynote speaker and workshop leader, engaging thousands each year with insights on storytelling and culture.

<div>Too often, leaders lead for validation instead of impact. (And most don&rsquo;t even realize it!). Many leaders unknowingly prioritize validation over impact which results in hesitancy, reliance on heroic efforts, and doubts about their team's capabilities. This approach leads to increased workload, decreased productivity, and unrealized potential.<br />
<br />
The impact-driven leader, on the other hand, knows how to make meaning out of their sacrifice to regain personal engagement, determine their direction to sharpen focus and renew relationships to grow from every frustration. In this interactive session we'll explore the three pillars of Impact Leadership:&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<strong>Impact</strong><br />
Discover how mindfulness goes beyond stress relief, evolving into a powerful tool to upgrade your mindset. Learn to be present, engaged, and leverage circumstances to nurture other leaders.<br />
<br />
<strong>Right Action</strong><br />
Move beyond empathy and embrace the art of serving others. Learn to take appropriate actions that alleviate suffering without resorting to rescuing, fostering a culture of empowerment.<br />
<br />
<strong>Right Motive</strong><br />
Understand that the motive behind your actions is as crucial as the actions themselves.&nbsp; Honest self-reflection allows you to demand more without compromising respect.<br />
<br />
Whether you're a parent, business owner, CEO, team leader, or member of a team if you find yourself dreading the responsibility of work, feeling increasing frustration with your team or family, or growing bitter in your closest&nbsp; relationships, the Lead for Impact framework offers a solution.<br />
