Why Great Leaders Must Unlearn to Succeed in Today’s Exponential World

Effective leadership comes with a large learning curve. In today’s rapidly-evolving business climate, this is more true than ever for seasoned leaders and entrepreneurs alike.

Many leaders rely too heavily on past achievements, practices, and ways of thinking to drive positive business results today, but they often need to unlearn those behaviors before they can take a step forward.

Join executive coach Barry O’Reilly as he breaks down a transformative framework that shows leaders how to rethink their strategies, retool their capabilities, and revitalize their businesses for stronger, longer-lasting success.

This innovative and actionable framework shows leaders and entrepreneurs how to deliberately move away from once-useful mindsets and behaviors that were effective in the past and embrace new behaviors that are effective in a world ripe with emerging technologies and accelerated change.  

In this session, you will:

• Learn to use a systematic approach to adapting your behaviors and mindset in order to meet the demands of an exponential rate of innovation.
• Discover how to let go, reframe, and rethink past successes in order to succeed in the future.
• Identify and address the personal obstacles that you need to unlearn.
• Challenge your thinking, get outside your comfort zone, and achieve results beyond what you thought was possible.
