The Hidden Power of Receiving from Anyone, Anytime

If everyone were focused solely on giving, would there be anyone left to receive? There are numerous reasons why leaders (and individuals in general) often struggle when it comes to receiving help, support, words of praise, compliments, and unique perspectives/opinions. In his acclaimed work "Lessons from Abdul," renowned speaker and author Robb Holman delves into the key factors that frequently hinder leaders from embracing receptivity. Through the profound transformative insights he gained from an unconventional mentor, Holman provides valuable guidance to surmount these obstacles. By becoming a more genuine and open receiver, you inevitably cultivate the capacity to be a purposeful and selfless giver.

LEADING THE WAY FROM WITHIN

Nearly 80% of organizations report knowing they have an engagement problem. Despite good intentions, using outward tactics to reach into the hearts of team members often yields lackluster results. Empty incentives and negative reinforcement reflect an outside-in approach to leadership.

To resolve this workplace epidemic, leaders need a new approach that goes above and beyond traditional means of motivating and uniting teams – that approach is Inside Out Leadership. When team members are inspired to change rather than being pushed to change, it’s sustainable.

However, vibrant and sustainable engagement doesn’t start with those you lead; it starts with YOU as a leader.

During this passionate and practical talk, Robb leads the way from burnout and emptiness to fulfillment and success, exploring how an individual’s innate purpose is worth so much more than the money they earn or the business results they achieve.

In helping people learn how to connect with their unique life’s purpose, they are finding success in a way they never expected - from the inside out!
