Building a High Performing Culture: Find Your Sotchoku
Many leaders are failing to engage employees today, and that lack of engagement leads to miscommunication, misaligned priorities, and poor performance. This session will help leaders understand the three key sides of the behavioral framework that drive high performance: 
1. Hiring the right people (topgrading your hiring strategy)
2. Having trustworthy leaders
3. Building environmental trust 

Featured speaker Patrick Coggins will teach you how to accelerate trust between employees and leaders by having frequent and meaningful conversations driven by the principles of Sotchoku, a Japanese word that means frankness or candor, to be honest and straightforward in speech and behavior. You will walk away with skills that can enhance your leadership abilities and increase the performance and profitability of the FP&A department and the entire company. 

Engaging a Multi-Generational Workforce
The five generations currently in the workplace have been shaped by different historical events. They have divergent world views. They are motivated by different things and have unique communication styles. Managers at all levels are challenged to bridge these differences to create a collaborative environment where all employees can be authentic at work and have their unique needs and expectations met. This session will provide practical insight to overcome stereotypes, cultivate inclusivity and foster a culture of belonging. You will walk away with an overview of current generations in the workforce and expectations for next 3-5 years and practical insights on how to embrace the different generations and equip them to work together to enhance your organization.
