Productive Partnership: The Long-Term Results of a Rewarding Collaboration

Most business partnerships fail—with profound economic, legal, and personal consequences. Nevertheless, we seek out partnerships again and again without considering the peculiar challenges that shared endeavors entail. If you’re launching a business, embarking upon an internal project, or cementing a new deal with a colleague, you’re opening yourself to unpredictable forces and chaos—and chaotic forces are terrible for business.

With the Yes To beauty line, Ido Leffler and colleague Lance Kalish formed one of the most successful business partnerships in the industry. Now, in this collaborative keynote, Leffler examines and shares the surprising principles behind a productive alliance. By listening and communicating properly, establishing clear roles and responsibilities, and sharing the same goals, we can form lasting and rewarding collaborations. And with Ido Leffler’s discoveries, we can do so without the trial and error that dooms so many relationships.

Work-Life Struggle: Finding a Healthy Balance

There are real costs associated with burn-out and overworked employees. More and more leaders are beginning to understand that an ethos of “all work and no play” can lead to higher employee turnover, increased rates of illness and absenteeism, and decreased productivity. Spending time with friends and family, cultivating hobbies, and simply recuperating shouldn’t be seen as impediments to success. In fact, the more we invest in our own well-being and health, the more we can potentially achieve professionally. In this rewarding talk, Ido Leffler shares his own story of how he built his global businesses while still ensuring that his personal interests, family, and friends didn’t fade from the picture.

Leffler’s insights into work-life balance come from his own business success—and his own well-being. Both employees and owners need to be healthy, happy, and positive if they want to bring their best selves to work. Whether seeking a self-imposed balance to stay inspired, healthy, and energized, or searching for a company-wide solution to the ongoing struggle between dedication and relaxation, Leffler offers practical and concrete recommendations.
