Adapt, Overcome, and Win as One! Achieving Breakthrough Performance through Challenge & Change
If there’s one thing we can all be certain of right now, it’s that change is the only thing that’s going to stay the same. It’s our response to that change that dictates our success. So how do we as leaders inspire the kind of mindset and build the kind of teams that drive our organizations to adapt, overcome and win as ONE in the face of times of extreme challenge and change?
This unique session on “extreme teamwork” features Robyn’s experience as a World Champion Adventure Racer. She shares the secrets that allowed her team to be the most prolific and consistent World Champions in the sport, lessons that are easily applied to the adventures in our business lives. Their team culture of innovation, visionary creativity, relentless lead building, and embracing calculated risk as a strategy for success made them one of the most exciting and successful teams in the history of adventure sports. In this session you will be inspired and learn the mindset and strategies that create consistent breakthrough performance.

Making Compliance a Culture Driver — A Strategy for L&D Code Breakers
Compliance is an essential part of HR but is typically viewed as a must-have instead of a key driver for culture. Issuing a policy that says "We don't discriminate" is not the same as a comprehensive inclusion and diversity program. In this session, we will discuss compliance issues, whom they affect, and why it's essential to see compliance as a culture issue.
