why attend 
TAL?

"Authenticity is at the heart of human connection.  It is also the foundation for emotional intelligence, a prerequisite for strong leadership.  We launched TAL five years ago with one major goal - to unpack the essential elements of authenticity and why they are important to leadership and business success. 

As we enter this new decade, it is evident that the cycles of change have compressed significantly in the business world.  When management was the prevalent paradigm, stability ruled.   Now with leadership at the forefront, change is the accelerator.  To take teams through change, perhaps beyond their comfort zone, trust is imperative.  This is where authentic leaders truly make a difference."




“Authenticity is not meant to be rare, yet many people think of it as the exception.  We have to change that paradigm in business.” 
– Harold Hillman

WHY DOES AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP MATTER?

Authentic Leadership:  Why it Matters
​With increased cycles of change, the ability to wear vulnerability as a virtue (rather than a vice) underpins leadership success.  Authentic leaders are excellent at driving engagement, mostly because they empower people to bring their best.  An authentic leader makes it easier for people to bring their true selves to work.  They unleash aspiration in their teams, enabling them to push through change with greater confidence.  
​

The Seven Elements of Authenticity
Dr. Hillman conducted over 200 interviews for the book, Fitting In, Standing Out, where his primary goal was for people to describe an authentic leader in their life.  From those interviews, 7 key elements were prevalent in nearly all the stories people told me about an authentic leader.  Those seven elements are:  (1) positivity, (2) genuine, (3) edge, (4) vulnerability, (5) energy, (6) integrity, (7) connection.  

You can see the interplay between these seven elements in people who come in and out of your life on a daily basis.  There's a reason why some leaders have a compelling energy and others don't.  The interplay between the seven elements plays a big role in a leader's ability to connect with people successfully.  

PARTICIPANT FEEDBACK

Very thought provoking! It made me look at the way I interact with others – both at work and at home. Please leave any preconceptions about “another” management course. Come, be present, and be in control of your development as a leader.
