2:40 PM Track A: Workshop: REACH: The Five Skills Every Leader Needs Now

Let’s get real: stability isn’t coming back, and the old leadership playbook is officially obsolete. In a world where disruption is the baseline, leaders can’t just react—they have to REACH.

In this high-impact workshop, Laurie Battaglia distills decades of leadership transformation into five essential skills that help leaders stay steady, adapt fast, and keep humans at the center—no matter what the world throws at them. Expect truth-telling, practical tools, and a wake-up call for anyone still waiting for things to “settle down.” You’ll find yourself leading with strength, strategy and heart.
Key outcomes:
  • Discover the five REACH skills every leader needs to thrive in non-stop change
  • Learn why resilience, energy strategy, adaptive clarity, change fluency, and human intelligence are the new leadership must-haves
  • Walk away with practical mindset shifts and micro-habits you can start using today.
