We are not our thoughts, yet thoughts control us. Our mind shapes our reality, yet research suggests that 45% of our behaviors are happening below our level of consciousness. That's why it's no wonder self-awareness is regarded as one of the most important leadership traits for the future of work.
Knowing how the mind works, how it affects our decisions and being able to lead our mind towards where we want to go is a skill that can be cultivated and pivotal to exemplary leadership. However, while most leaders will say they are self-aware, in reality according to research only 10-15% fit the criteria. In this keynote, Myrto outlines the most common patterns of the mind and offers evidence-based tools to manage them with more awareness in order to lead with wisdom and effectiveness.
When stepping into a leadership role, most leaders fail to understand that the first person they need to lead is…themselves. They focus their attention outwards, to their team or even worse, exclusively to their business objectives and the operational aspects of their role, when the real impact comes from mastering their own inner game.
Research also indicates that leaders with higher emotional intelligence and self-leadership skills are more likely to create a positive work environment, leading to a 20% increase in overall organizational performance. This keynote touches on the core principles of self-awareness, self-regulation, intrinsic motivation, goal-setting, and self-accountability, offering actionable insights and practical strategies. It is also an inspiration to find purpose and your own true voice as a leader, in order not only to achieve performance, but make a lasting impact.
We dedicate a significant portion of our time at work and sometimes, especially during challenging times, it's hard to keep a balance, especially when the world we live in is volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. Workplace stress levels are skyrocketing and burnout risk is increasing in many industries and professions.
In this ever popular keynote, participants will understand the biology and physiology of stress and learn practical, science-backed methods and tips to regulate the nervous system, in order to cultivate resilience and handle difficulties better. Filled with grounded practical tips and short hands-on mindfulness practices, audiences leave feeling empowered and supported to live and work with less chaos and more balance.
Creating a powerful team can often be a challenge. Different goals, personalities and communication styles. What makes a team powerful and how can we cultivate the skills to collaborate more effectively?
This interactive keynote based on neuroscience, mindfulness and behavioral research, focuses on collaboration, connection, and belonging through strategies that enable social connectedness, in order to enhance group dynamics across organizations. Myrto shares resources and actionable advice to enhance teaming through self-awareness, empathy and emotional intelligence.
"Diversity is a fact, but inclusion is a choice we make every day." In today’s globalized environment, embracing diversity and fostering inclusion are not just moral imperatives but critical drivers of organizational success. According to a study by McKinsey & Company, companies with diverse executive teams are 25% more likely to experience above-average profitability. However, for many leaders and teams, putting diversity into action is a challenge.
Through a blend of research, real-world examples, and practical strategies, this keynote illuminates how inclusion enhances innovation, collaboration, and employee satisfaction. You'll discover how to break down barriers, challenge unconscious biases, and build a culture that celebrates diverse perspectives. Insights from neuroscience and psychology will demonstrate how inclusivity can lead to better decision-making and problem-solving.
