SUGGESTED SPEAKING TOPICS
Resonant Leadership: Renewing Yourself and Connecting with Others Through Mindfulness, Hope, and Compassion
Great leaders move us. They move us through a basic human process: our emotions. Although they talk of strategy and competition, the great leaders establish a deep emotional connection with others called “resonance” and bring out the best in their people. They are literally, in tune with others around them. Their own levels of emotional intelligence allow them to create and nurture these resonant relationships. They use their EI as a path to resonant leadership through mindfulness, hope and compassion. But these are also the experiences essential to renewal of the human organism at the neurological, hormonal, emotional, and behavioral levels. Based on decades of research into emotional intelligence competencies and longitudinal studies in their development, Professor Richard Boyatzis will lead the audience through examples of what resonance looks and feels like, as well as ideas as to develop someone’s “resonant leadership” capability, emotional intelligence, and the experiences of mindfulness, hope, and compassion. Dr. Boyatzis will use inspiring stories and energizing exercises to show how leaders, managers and executives can create and sustain “resonance” in their relationships and their teams and build resilient, adaptive organizations.
OPEN CLASS: USING EMOTION AND RELATIONSHIPS TO ENHANCE LEARNING THROUGH MOOCS
More than 300,000 people from 205 countries recently enrolled in Professor Richard Boyatzis’ Massive Open Online Course or MOOC. It’s part of a larger shift in education, but what does it mean for your classroom?
How can universities and schools embrace change in a way that delivers value and better results? In “Open Class,” Professor Boyatzis will examine the needs for experimentation in teaching, learning, and mentoring. The internet has proven to be an exceptionally convenient, accessible, and cost-effective way of engaging students on a local and global scale. But it isn’t the only option. Using his outcome studies and neurological research, Professor Boyatzis explores different modes of teaching and learning, including online lectures, face-to-face classrooms, and coaching.
Through exercises and engaging stories, Professor Boyatzis takes audiences on a journey into the future of education. How can professors and teachers apply tried and true methods to new technology? How should universities and schools adapt to an increasingly competitive global playing field? How can learning retention be increased? What learning style works best for your class? How do you know when it’s time to try something new? Professor Boyatzis explains how emotions and relationships can be used to enhance learning through MOOCs. He draws from his own experiences and research to provide a complete picture of where education is, where it’s going, and how we can better prepare students for the new world of work.
WHY EVERY LEADER SHOULD COACH OTHERS: THE PATH TO LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT AND PERSONAL RENEWAL
Based on decades of research into emotional intelligence competencies and longitudinal studies in their development, Professor Richard Boyatzis will lead the audience through examples of how coaching with compassion is key to leadership development AND why it is central to neuro-endocrine renewal in the human body (which is the only antidote to the ravages of chronic stress). The session will address the following:

The session will address the following:
- A process for developing sustainable improvement on EI, resonant leadership, and effective leadership, and the central role of compassion in it.
- Understanding the psycho-physiological role of the Positive Emotional Attractor and the Negative Emotional Attractor in motivating change or encouraging the status quo regression.
- Perceiving how coaching with compassion is effective in helping people change in sustainable ways, but coaching for compliance is not. And why it is crucial to the sustainability of the leader (i.e., the coach) as well.
- How to coach others to develop EI, resonant leadership, and to sustainably change.
