Whether it be at home, work, or school, we have had to change the way we do just about everything over the past several months. The need for innovative problem solving is greater than ever, and it affects each of us on an individual level both professionally and personally. In this session, professors, authors, and parents Tom and Dr. Susan Smith Kuczmarski will weave together lessons from their twelve published books on innovation, leadership, and parenting to discuss how organizations and families can adapt to and overcome unexpected challenges by creating workplace and familial cultures of respect, open-mindedness, trust, inclusion, and innovation.
You will learn how to:
- Juggle work, school, and family at home
- Build, bond, and energize teams and families
- Cultivate employees and nurture families by activating six motivational tools
- Use “peopleship” as leadership and parenting style
