Title: Leaders Do the New: Why Leaders Who Try New Things Build More Adaptable Organizations
What happens when people stop trying new things?
8 time Emmy award-winning journalist, author, and speaker Lu Ann Cahn believes the answer affects everything from innovation and creativity to resilience, leadership, and business growth.
In her dynamic keynote, Leaders Do the New: Why Leaders Who Try New Things Build More Adaptable Organizations, Lu Ann shares how small acts of courage and curiosity can help people — and organizations — adapt, connect, and thrive in times of constant change.
Blending humor, storytelling, audience interaction, and research-backed insights, Lu Ann explores why businesses grow when leaders create cultures where people feel safe enough to try: to share new ideas, take smart risks, learn new skills, and step beyond familiar routines.
Funny, inspiring, and highly relatable, this is a conversation about what it really takes to stay energized, adaptable, and open to possibility in today’s rapidly changing world. Register for this event at MontcoGateway.org
