PLAYING TO YOUR STRENGTHS

Keynote and various Workshop formats available (In-Person or Virtual)

Bring more energy to work and life by applying your Strengths

Playing to Your Strengths is about helping your people discover how to channel each of their best towards what matters most.

Leveraging the CliftonStrengths® assessment (formerly StrengthsFinder), learn the language of strengths so you all can:

Key Takeaways: 

  • Understand and appreciate your own and others' strengths;

  • Do more from a place of strength--out of what energizes you;

  • Learn how to collaborate with others and create powerful partnerships;

  • Seek and share opportunities based on your Strengths Sweet Spot; 

  • Lean into and live out of your deepest, best selves. 

We need each other and we need each other to play to our best--our Strengths!  When we do, incredible things are possible!

“Over the last couple weeks we embarked on a series of Strengths Finder sessions facilitated by Chris. The hope was that these would increase the cohesion and overall trust within the team. After diving in, we were able to better understand the individual strengths that each of us has and that there is so much we all agree upon/have in common! Almost overnight the trust level of the team has increased dramatically! Now we communicate better with each other individually and as a collective team. These sessions have been extremely impactful and will be the foundation team cohesion efforts for the entire organization.” --
Sean Glore, Executive Director of 222 Foundation (former HR director of Lifewater, PepsiCo, and Honeywell)

STRESS-PROOF LIFE & LEADERSHIP

Keynote and various Workshop formats available (In-Person or Virtual)

Go beyond resilience to turn stress into growth and strength

There’s no such thing as "stress-free" leadership, because you won't ever get to a place where challenges disappear--and you wouldn’t really want that anyway, right?  

Instead, learn how to lean into and grow through challenges, and increase capacity instead of exhausting it…

Then, you can overcome even greater challenges, solve more complex problems, and do it all with energy left over for other areas of your life--not just work.

Stress-proof Leadership centers on you finding your stride and cadence.  You will learn about how you generate energy to live with integrity as the pressure increases, rather than collapsing under the weight of it. 

ARE YOU AND YOUR TEAM READY TO BE MORE: 

  • Present and Positive?

  • Focused and Purposeful?

  • Productive and Compassionate?

And leave work with a full energy tank, even after the craziest day?

Let's learn the practices that will help you stress-proof your leadership, your audience, or your organization.

“I recently had the pleasure of not only working with Chris in his role as one of the keynote speakers of an industry symposium that I chaired, but being an audience member and active participant in his presentation on handling stress in a COVID world work environment. I say “active participant” because that is how Chris makes his audiences feel. He engages and connects with each person so that they feel as though he is sharing his story, wisdom and advice to each person in the room. Chris was put in front of a room full of tax specialists, both attorneys & CPAs, not the easiest bunch to connect with and he did an amazing job. His presentation transcends professions and connects with people on a human level. People walked away from his presentation armed with realistic and practical stress management tools and wishing there was more time to listen to him speak. I highly recommend Chris to any person or organization who is looking for a charismatic, engaging and thoughtful person to lead their team through stress management skills/technique workshops.” -- Breen Schiller, Tax Attorney, Ernst & Young, Committee Member, Institute for Professionals in Taxation

RELATIONAL BRILLIANCE (1 and 1 = 11)

Keynote and various Workshop formats available (In-Person or Virtual)

Cultivating high-quality connections in an age of loneliness and distraction

We are relational beings--wired at our core for connection and belonging, even (especially) at work.  

Relational Brilliance strengthens your workplace culture so that as a leader you show up with your full humanity and make it safe for your team and organization to do so too.

what would happen if you and your team: 

  • Recognized how relational dysfunction discourages, demotivates, and just plain drains energy? 

  • Facilitated connections that multiply contributions exponentially, rather than additively?

  • Understood the importance of relationship and collaboration and really practiced it as a priority?

  • Generated positive energy in the workplace through healthy relationship dynamics?

  • Were valued and valued others as persons, not just producers?

Relational Brilliance is about getting even greater productivity through showing people even greater value. 

“Participating in a group with Chris Failla as a facilitator is a delight. He is personable, engaging, and works hard to include everyone in the discourse. Chris uses a variety of teaching materials and strategies which allow people with differing learning styles to enter into the process. Though he brings a lot of wisdom and research to the table, Chris doesn’t come off as a “sage on the stage.” Rather, he leads with humility, gentle strength, and an inviting presence. ” -- Katie Skurja, Author, Counselor, and Speaker
