CV SHRM February Meeting: How to Lead with Love

Presenter: Ramona Wink

Presenting: How to Lead with Love

"How to Lead With Love" is a 60 minute presentation aimed to help attendees recognize and implement ways to foster peace and harmony within themselves and within the companies/organizations where they work. This is more important than ever because research shows that passive aggressive behavior in the workplace is on the rise and employees don't feel that their managers care about them. "Gallup research found that from 2019 to 2022, the percentage of younger workers who strongly agreed that someone cares about them, someone encourages their development and that they have opportunities to learn and grow dropped 10 or more percentage points." 

Objectives:

• Learn and demonstrate 10 tips for effective active listening

• Learn and demonstrate The Four Agreements. 

• Engage in a mindfulness-based meditation and learn basic mindfulness strategies to share with your team. 

• Understand the role that respect plays in leading others with love.
