Find Your Edge: Win at Work
Excellence happens all the time in an organization, but it can be tricky to harness this excellence and make it work for you. So often, when companies try to reproduce what their best performers do differently, the result is just another lifeless policy that ends up constraining people instead of freeing them to do their best work. The trick is to help people put innovative ideas into practice without stifling the personal strengths that give them their edge.
Key takeaways:
In this speech, Buckingham presents a customized best practice delivery system for both managers and individual contributors.
Using a simple, easy-to-remember scheme to identify each person’s unique combination of strengths, Marcus gives individuals tips and techniques on how to put their particular edge to use. And managers will get lots of raw material to be better coaches based on the specific strengths of their team members.
At the end of the speech, you will know how to move beyond the one-sizefits-all approach and find those practices that are best for you.

What the World’s Best Managers Do Differently
What sets great companies apart? Survey data gathered over decades’ worth of interviews with thousands of managers and workers around the world reveals one simple truth: there are no great companies. Every company is made up of separate teams, and the performance of those teams, no matter how successful the company may be, varies widely. What makes the difference? The manager.
Managers play a significant role in creating an environment within which individuals can thrive, discover their talents and use their best selves daily. Great managers help people to identify and leverage their unique strengths.
Key takeaways:
Speaker Marcus Buckingham will discuss the four key demands a manager must fulfill in order to provide the kind of environment that enables people to achieve peak performance on a regular basis: Select the right people for the right roles; Clarify expectations of the manager and of the employee; Engage team members by paying constant attention; and Accelerate performance by maximizing strengths and neutralizing weaknesses.
In short, his presentation will address how great managers turn talents into performance.

.His subsequent best-selling book
Go Put Your Strengths to Work
forms the foundation for the “Strengths-Driven Performance” keynote address.
Key takeaways:
Buckingham presents key data from a number of different industries demonstrating the correlation between performance and engagement.
He discusses the factors at play with engaged teams vs. disengaged teams, and drills down to the specific lever that research indicates most impacts engagement: the extent to which employees have the opportunity to play to their strengths.
When employees have the opportunity to apply their greatest strengths at work, they turbocharge their careers and everybody wins.
Companies find their employees are more productive and their teams are more effective. Despite this, research shows a majority of people do not fully use their strengths at work.
Marcus examines current corporate levels of engaging the strengths of employees and discuss the psychological and practical obstacles that can get in the way of creating a strengths-based organization.
Throughout his presentation, keynote speaker Marcus Buckingham will offer a number of different strategies to support people in leveraging the best of themselves and others in the workplace.

Finding Your Strongest Life
In the four decades since the beginning of the modern women’s movement, women have secured greater opportunity, greater influence, greater independence, more free time, and more money. Despite all those important gains, however, longitudinal research indicates that women have become more unhappy, anxious, and stressed during that same time period, and that they get sadder as they get older (while men, in contrast, get happier as they age).
Keynote speaker Marcus Buckingham will explore the data behind the startling findings on women’s happiness and discuss the lessons to be learned from happy, successful women who buck the statistical trends.
