Dante DiBattista Speaking Topics

  • The Transformational College Experience: How to Make the Most of It

    Higher education is not only one of the most substantial investments students will make in their entire life, it is also one of the clearest pathways we have to develop the leaders of the future. The ecosystem of a college campus is a fertile environment for the transformation of students, therefore it is the perfect opportunity to build the transformation leaders of the future.

    If you can transform yourself, you can transform one other person. If you can transform one person, you can transform a team. If you can transform a team, you can transform an organization. If you can transform an organization, you can transform a community. If you can transform a community, you can change the world.

    In this session I tell the story of how I went through all 6 of these levels of transformational leadership during my time as an undergraduate. I went from failing out of school with a 0.8 GPA as a freshman to traveling the world building leadership development programs before I graduated. Fast forward to today, I am a globally recognized subject matter expert on leadership who serves as a coach and consultant for some of the largest companies in the world. This program, and the book it is designed in parallel with, has improved retention by as much as 18% on campuses that adopt it.

    Students will learn:

    • The importance of failure along the way, and why it is not only a good thing, but essential to learning
    • A deepened understanding of the possibilities available to them as college students, and an enhanced sense of excitement to explore them
    • An introduction to the neuroscientific basis for behavior, and strategies they can implement immediately to drive transformational changes in their own life
    • Most importantly, they will learn how to become the leaders of the future by first learning how to lead themselves

  • How Transformational Leaders Handle Conflict

    Most leaders see conflict as something they have to manage and navigate around. They see conflict like traffic cones on the road, something to pay attention to but ultimately avoid at all costs. The most effective leaders, however, handle it much differently; they drive it. In this session, I assert that conflict is a tool. Not only is it a tool, it is the most powerful tool in a leader's toolbox. It is a tool so powerful that most people are afraid of it because of how dangerous it is when handled incorrectly.

    Let's apply that logic elsewhere, shall we? A hammer could be pretty dangerous if misused as well, correct? Imagine if a construction company told their employees they couldn't use hammers. How much work would get done? Now, imagine if every construction company in the country was afraid to let their employees use hammers, except for one. Who do you think would be the most productive and effective construction company? Exactly.

    This session about conflict will teach leaders how to use a tool so powerful that everyone else is afraid of it, creating a uniquely powerful strategic advantage, as if they were the only construction company who could use a hammer.

    Participants will learn:

    • How to distinguish productive conflict from unproductive conflict
    • How to prevent unproductive conflict
    • How to intentionally curate productive conflict to drive new levels of organizational performance
