The Big Idea
Maintaining focus is one of the most common and costly challenges in the distracted, modern day workplace. The leadership space tends to highlight Flow and Hyperfocus while neglecting other important states of focus that leaders need as well. In this training, Brad Kerschenstiener teaches his Focus Factor model which is a comprehensive framework that covers five unique styles of focus, each of which has specific strengths and applications for improving leadership focus.

Leveraging the 3 Leadership Instincts
The Big Idea
This keynote introduces participants to an often overlooked, biological dimension of leadership: the three leadership instincts. While personality systems explore the motivational drivers or “why” of personality and leadership, the 3 Leadership Instincts looks at three specific survival strategies (or the “what”) that leaders typically use without awareness.
Key Take-Aways:
- Allows leaders to quickly understand what behaviors/values/areas of attention they preference over others
- Allows leaders to quickly identify their secondary leadership instinct as a zone of growth
- Allows leaders to quickly identify their neglected instinct as an area of stress so to better manage it
- Allows managers to more effectively tap into the hidden strengths of team members

Key Take-Aways:
- Allows leaders to dramatically increase self-awareness of and prevent self-defeating mental and behavioral patters
