After 15 years of standing in the fire with leaders of high-performing organizations, Peter Sheahan has come to believe that an organization will only go commercially where its leaders first grow personally.

Having grown his own companies by accelerating growth and transformation for Apple, Chick-fil-A, DeBeers, and AT&T — Peter will provoke you to get bigger, by getting better! When leaders are true to their purpose, they gravitate towards doing work that matters and solving higher-order problems. The journey to get there requires that they have the courage to tell themselves the truth, take intelligent risks, and assume ownership for driving the alignment necessary to build an organization which behaves in ways worthy of its leadership position.

In being true to his own ambitions and relentless pursuit of growth, Peter has published seven books, built three global companies and delivered more than 3,000 presentations in 40+ countries.

COMPETING ON VALUE, NOT PRICE

Crisis creates unique windows of opportunity to innovate, take intelligent risks, and thrive in the face of disruption. To seize these opportunities, you must:

Question assumptions: Disruption forces you to reexamine the value you add, and to find new and innovative ways to add it.
Lead your customers to the future: Behave in ways worthy of the market-leading position you seek – lead don’t follow.
Matter more: Escape commoditization by elevating the impact you have on your customers’ lives.

LEADING TRANSFORMATION

Turning Challenge into opportunity and change into competitive advantage

The journey of transformation we must now all lead to stay relevant and accelerate growth in a disrupted world requires that you:

Tell yourself the truth: Embrace your new reality and take ownership for leading in new ways.
Unleash ambition: Rise above the urgency of a burning platform and un-leash a burning ambition worth fighting for.
Drive alignment: Leaders need to be accountable for making new decisions and driving new behavior as we compete in the new reality

MATTER: Create More Value, Move Beyond the Competition and Become the Obvious Choice!

How do you become the obvious choice in the hearts and minds of your customers, employees and community? The answer is value. You either create more val-ue than your competitors or you don’t. The more important question is how? In this case-study-rich and highly insightful presentation, Peter Sheahan will:

Show you how to escape commoditization and compete beyond price
Help you identify your most valuable edge of disruption
Offer road map for becoming a thought leader in your marketplace and influence more senior buyers as a result
Inspire you to lean into complexity, solve higher-order problems and be-come the disruptor

If you want to turn challenge into opportunity and change into competitive ad-vantage, then join Peter for an inspiring, evidence-based approach to creating more value in your marketplace.

HIGH PERFORMANCE IN A HYBRID WORLD: Accelerating a culture of accountability and driving effective alignment

Stimulating a culture of growth amidst uncertainty requires leaders to create a team setting where it’s psychologically safe to take risks, behave in new ways, and pursue progress over perfection. To do so, you must:

Raise your standards: Move your team from agreement to alignment.
Go first: As goes your behavior, so goes the behavior of the rest of your team.
Lead intentionally: Culture is a science, not an art. Focus on individual mindsets, team dynamics, and environment.

FLIP: How To Turn Challenge Into Opportunity & Disruption Into Competitive Advantage.

The fact that the world is changing is not new to anyone. The more important question is: What do we need to do in the face of change? How do organizations respond meaningfully to it? Whether you are dealing with disruptive technology, shifts in customer expectations, or changes in regulation, as a leader you must apply an innovative approach to effectively navigate disruptive forces.

In this provocative, research-based session, Peter will inspire you to:

Embrace change and break free from thinking that made you successful in the past but could undermine your success in the future
Re-think competitive advantage and leverage intangibles to manufacture tangible points of difference in your market
Improve your margins by driving non-sexy innovation and finding new ways to innovate across the value-chain
Turn chaos into opportunity by leading the market in response to new regu-lation, customer expectations, and technological disruption
Take the intelligent risks required to innovate and drive change within your organization and industry
