Our approach
Keynote
Workshop
The audience:
250 cross-functional, global leaders representing business development and innovation
CLIENT CHALLENGES:
When “Veolia faced the challenge of uniting two distinct communities with different mindsets and cultural expectations” Diliana Karailieva, Capability Development Director responsible for event programming, reached out to solve for:
Disparate and disconnected groups with little cooperation, which was needed for growth and innovation initiatives.
Poor organizational buy-in for a new strategic plan resulting in little progress.
Lack of relatedness required across global teams to facilitate productive and collaborative business sessions.
THE RESULTS: 3 MONTHS POST-EVENT
Successfully aligned a diverse audience to have a productive and collaborative work session rated amongst the best in company history.
The event has been assessed as a turning point in the level of collaboration between formerly disconnected business units, driving accelerated growth.
Leadership behavior change sharing key practices from keynote and applied in super diverse settings – from sales to innovation – positively impacting overall organizational performance.
No Matter What remains in the hearts and minds of the leaders in attendance, increasing buy-in for new approaches and initiatives.
“Sterling's tailored keynote, centered around his pragmatic formula for change, successfully bridged this gap for our global audience. His genuine, positive approach and humor broke the ice, making a lasting impact on collaboration and teamwork. The "No Matter What" message resonated deeply, becoming a recurring theme and significantly improving the overall event's success.”
