Bring YOUR Shoes – How to Lead by Maximizing Talent

Your attendees will enjoy Marcia’s Bring YOUR Shoes – How to Lead by Maximizing Talent leadership inspirational keynote – especially emerging leaders, new managers, and new supervisors.

Successful leaders surround themselves with talented individuals that complement their strengths. But as a leader, how do you find them? Complementary talent just doesn’t show up, it has to be sought out.

As an employer, Marcia shares ideas on how to discover and develop your employees’ talents to maximize their potential. In this interactive keynote presentation, you will learn about Marcia’s personal journey of discovering her gifts and how she helped her employees discover their talents to become a high performing team. During the Bring YOUR Shoes inspirational keynote based on her leadership book on how to lead, Bring YOUR Shoes, Marcia teaches new leaders how to lead from a fresh perspective—by maximizing their talents and the diverse talents of those they lead.

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn the ways to discover and maximize your talent.
  • Learn how to discover and maximize the talent of those you lead.
  • Learn how to lead teams by maximizing all talent.

  • "Here’s one response that we got, actually forwarded to me from the bank CEO who got this from their employee after she attended. The CEO is on our board as well, so that’s awesome to get feedback like this! I truly enjoyed the Ten Tips to Help You Achieve Balance in your life.  It really hit home (especially with everything going on in the past four months) when she talked about surrounding yourself with people who love and care for you and establishing boundaries.  I think during the past four months have found myself submerging myself in work (both Chase and National Guard) more than ever and I always want to do one more thing to help, but at the end of the day sometimes I need to take a step back and make sure that I am taking care of myself. Marci was a great speaker and I enjoyed how enthusiastic she was.  She really pumped me up for the day."
