NICK JANKEL PROGRAMS & TOPICS

Transformational Leadership: Leading In Change, Leading The Change

How to upgrade leadership mindsets to fall forward, not back, under pressure (headwinds, uncertainty, disruption). How to shift how leaders interact and communicate away from “Command and Control” to creativity, empathy, and influence. How to transform fiefdoms, friction, and fragmentation to unlock coherence and collaboration in top teams. How to sense-make, decision-make, and prioritize in complexity. How to go about solving the poly-crises of our age.

Amplify Purpose-Driven Leadership & Business

The business case for genuinely purpose-led businesses and brands. Elevating ambitions and goals into a clear, compelling, and concrete purpose that people feel burning in their bellies. The purpose gap and how to close it by helping people connect their own purpose to the organization’s. How to help others find meaning and fulfillment in their work, no matter how mundane it may look. Developing a coherent business or brand purpose that can triumph against the forces of disorder, decay, and disintegration.

Unleash The Power Of Storytelling & Influencing

How brains engage in and digest stories–and the critical power of emotion as well as reason in winning hearts and minds. How to structure a story so it is clear and compelling and avoids confusion, resistance, and disengagement. How to use ethical influencing and persuasion techniques to bring people along—without manipulation. Packaging up complex business cases, innovation pitches, sales messages, or team communications to drive desired behavior change. Techniques and hacks for getting and keeping attention on stage and in meetings.

Cultivate Conscious & Wise Leadership

Building conscious leaders who are open not closed, responsive not defensive, and empowering not egotistical. Transforming mindsets and behaviors that sabotage ambitions and diminish others. Being self-aware, authentic, humble, and vulnerable—without appearing weak or weird. Making seemingly impossible business, strategic, and team decisions. Why paying attention to grief and gratitude, compassion and courage, can turbocharge transformation. Using wisdom and consciousness to bring more wholeness and aliveness to every discussion, meeting, and interaction.

Leading Breakthrough Innovation

What breakthrough innovation is, how it works, and how to do it right. How to blast through the barriers that block innovation. Why smartness is necessary but not sufficient for innovation (and can actually get in the way). The archetypal journey of disruptive innovation and how to proactively avoid the many predictable pitfalls. The killers and unlockers of innovation and how to maximize chances of lasting success. Ways to build an innovation culture—from the top down and bottom up.

Leading Change & Digital Transformation

How to take the turmoil out of transformation by understanding the archetypal journey of deep change. Why smartness is necessary but not sufficient for transformation (and can actually get in the way). How to build emotional resonance and not resistance so that transformation unfolds rather than unravels. How to avoid the many predictable pitfalls so you avoid burning money, time, and goodwill. Ways to ensure transformation is a triumph and not a tragedy by managing fear, silos, and power plays.

Innovate With Ethical AI

What AIs can do, can’t do, and may never be able to do so you do not waste precious time and resources. Exciting yet actionable usage cases for AI—whether for employee effectiveness or serving emerging customer needs. The mindsets needed for exponential value creation that AIs herald. AI model collapse and white-collar career collapse. Designing killer apps, not apps that kill us!
