Keynote by speaker Monica Parker:
The New Abnormal: Leading in a strange global landscape
These are indeed strange times and there is risk in calling it the ‘new normal.’ Loss of community, loss of personal freedom, loss of life should never be normalized. But given the new landscape, how do we lead? In this topical presentation that pulls from psychology, neuroscience, and sociology, Monica Parker shares her insights from consulting with global blue-chip clients and illustrates those elements of leadership that need to change to manage in the crisis, and those elements that remain and have become more important than ever.
Audience takeaways:
• Learn what this means for the future of work and why managers will not be able to return to the old
ways even if they want to.
• Practical research on the role of trust, purpose, psychological safety and neuroplasticity play in this
unprecedented time.

Keynote by speaker Monica Parker:
Back to Basics: Our basic human needs and why we should focus on them now
Our world has been turned upside-down. Assumptions about how and where we work, what we can expect from our government, and how we are connected to each other have raised new questions about our place in the world and what the new normal - if there ever is a new normal again - will be. With so much change, what actually stays the same? Based on academic research and an accompanying whitepaper, Monica Parker will take participants through a fascinating journey of humanity’s basic human needs, what we need to flourish, and how business leaders, communities, and workplaces can enhance these in the future – whatever the future may hold.
Audience takeaways:
• Learn the science behind our basic human needs, and why humans will always seek these, regardless of disruption
• Actionable advice on how to weave basic human needs into your workplace, leadership style, and hiring practices

Keynote by speaker Monica Parker:
Sticky: How to build (and rebuild) collaboration and engagement in a time of large-scale remote work
Since the 1970s, Management by Walking Around (MBWA) has been seen as a primary mechanism for connecting with teams. But how do you ‘walk around’ a virtual team? And how do you keep a sense of connectedness and organizational culture when people aren’t co-located.
Now that people will be working remotely, in some form or fashion, for the foreseeable future, its time for leaders to move beyond the technical aspects of remote work to the cultural. In this energetic presentation, Monica Parker guides participants through ways to build and reinforce collaboration, engagement, and culture in a time of remote working.
Audience takeaways:
Learn how remote working impacts team cohesion, how your leadership style needs to shift, and a single most important thing you should be looking for and encouraging in your business today
Practical tools to virtually connect and collaborate in a more effective way and reinforce culture in remote teams

Keynote by speaker Monica Parker:
Duality in Disruption: Finding the positive in the most difficult times, and why it’s important we do
Our brains are hardwired to resist disruption. We seek consistency because it soothes us and makes it easier for our brains to process information. But what happens when massive change is out of our control? Our brains immediately notice the dangers and differences in order to keep us safe, and this creates anxiety and low performance. There is a way to hack this feature of our minds, however, and find a more positive and effective way through disruption. In this scientifically grounded and yet inspiring session, Monica Parker illustrates the way our brain manages change and how we can shift our mental gears to a new way of thinking that harnesses, rather than resists disruption.
Audience takeaways:
Learn about our brains on change, how to ramp up neuroplasticity for better resiliency and how to reframe the negative aspects of existential change
Brain hacks to start using today to better manage disruption and actually take advantage of the opportunities inherent in change
