MORE THAN JUST TEACHING “SKILLS.” WE DEVELOP AND MAXIMIZE THE POTENTIAL AND ABILITIES OF PEOPLE.

In today's post-pandemic work environment, managers face complex challenges. The ongoing disruptions throughout the business landscape have led to decreased employee engagement and well-being, communication and social-emotional breakdowns, accountability problems, inclusion and sensitivity concerns, opposition toward return to office efforts, higher turnover rates, and a shift towards hybrid work models. Managers are tasked with providing stability amidst this disruption and leading their teams into the future, which has made their role more demanding than ever.

Consequently, managers' own job satisfaction and engagement have declined, leading to an increased likelihood of them seeking new opportunities.

Moving forward, it is crucial to prioritize the support and development of managers at all levels, as they play a pivotal role in determining their team's engagement, accounting for 70% of the variance.

For 25 years, Ty Howard and InspiraGen Institute have provided businesses in over 57 industries with tailored leadership development keynote sessions and solutions for their C-level executives, directors, managers, and aspiring leaders. We deeply understand the unique challenges that executives and managers face, and this understanding forms the basis of our comprehensive and engaging keynote and training programs. We cultivate talent, strengths, trust, communication, collaboration, unity, influence, mindfulness, experiences, resilience, social-emotional health, well-being, growth, and effective leadership skills, all while empathizing with the challenges today's leaders face. Our proven track record of success and customized approach set us apart as the go-to partner for companies seeking to elevate and maximize their leadership capabilities.

Ty's Leadership Keynote and Breakout Presentations

1) Untie the Knots® of Leadership
         (Improving Habits, Choices, People, Relationships, Influence, Connection, Mindfulness, Performance, and Results)

Untie the Knots® of Leadership: Improving Habits, Choices, People, Relationships, Influence, Connection, Mindfulness, Performance, and Results is a powerful wake-up call that addresses the countless challenges, obstacles, issues, and toxic habits found inside most struggling leaders today. This no-holds-barred, get-real program will bring your leaders a practical solutions-based process that they can implement immediately to create extraordinary improvements and significant real-life results in all effective and strategic leadership areas.

Bring this powerful, engaging and energizing keynote session to your next leadership development meeting, retreat, or conference. Discover the same transforming principles that have led hundreds of organizations, leaders, and their teams to the change, growth, and optimal success they desired.

2) Conscious Leadership
         (Valuing and Growing Across Differences)

What makes a leader successful or unsuccessful in today's work environment? Although many factors contribute to being an influential executive, director, or manager, understanding cultural differences can significantly impact success. We all need skills to communicate, collaborate, connect, and show we care about our employees/team members (human beings) in an ever-evolving world of differences. Besides growing professionally, conscious leaders flourish in their personal lives, and their caring and supportive presence empowers those around them to do the same. Mindful leaders are leading their businesses further than ever before, and they naturally attract talent away from other companies that do not follow the conscious leadership model.

Ty Howard's Conscious Leadership: Valuing and Growing Across Differences explores diversity and inclusion across critical phases of leadership development. As we learn about culture and create new habits and norms, we ease cultural tension and expand each leader’s capacity to approach challenges with empathy and skill. Ty will challenge your leaders to rethink conventional leadership wisdom through anecdotes, case studies, and profiles of conscious leaders and provide updated techniques for self-development, concluding in an empowering call to action for leaders at all levels—to step up as leaders who see beyond the bottom line.

This keynote session will engage and inspire your leaders - from beginning to end - to examine “what you know,” “what you don’t know,” and “what you need to do” to move toward extraordinary cultural competence and conscious leadership growth, outcomes, and success daily.

3) Coaching Accountable and Consistent Peak Performers
         (Lighting the Fire Under the Seats of Managers and Employees to Get Past the Many Barriers or Distractions that Plague Us)

Building a culture of accountability is vital to organizational success. People that embrace accountability at work are happier employees — they’re connected, mindful, high performing, more motivated, more invested in company goals, and more productive overall.

Of course, accountability does not always come naturally — and you cannot force it. Still, as a leader, you can encourage, promote and reward it. And you can give your employees the tools they need to understand how it works.

Ty Howard's Coaching Accountable and Consistent Peak Performers keynote session provides the strategies your leaders need to coach their employees to high performance. Your leaders will learn how to create an atmosphere that promotes positive, proactive accountability; clearly explain expectations, goals, and how employees fit into the “big picture”; connect at regular intervals to discuss progress and provide coaching, provide praise, support, or helpful feedback without undermining attitudes and progress; gain commitment from less motivated or tentative employees; ways you can help inspire a culture of consistent and rewarding achievement.

Best of all, they will become stronger extraordinary leaders — able to confront and manage performance problems, provide helpful feedback, and avoid common performance management mistakes.

4) Leading and Communicating with Confidence
         (Empowering Strategies for Building Confident, Collaborative, and Successful Leaders)

Effective communication skills and confidence are required to be a successful and influential leader today!

Many leaders inside businesses and in the community today are good at getting tasks done, yet they need help with communication skills and confidence. Then there are the great leaders - the superstars in leadership - that are good at getting tasks done while inspiring and influencing others to do their part for the team's success, vision, or cause in front of them.

In Leading and Communicating with Confidence, Ty Howard will teach and show your leaders that the essence of successful leadership is in inspiring, clear, and confident communication that moves people to action. Learn how confidence is expressed by an energetic voice, expressive face, strong eye contact, bold gestures, trusting engagement, compassionate heart, clear writing, resilient leadership style, and relaxed posture. Also, gain tips and strategies to project confidence and competence while leading by example, staying calm and mindful, and solutions and results-driven in any situation.

Confidence can improve communication skills, connection, growth, leadership, relationships, teamwork, change management, recovery (bouncing back), results, and success on many levels. Here's where every participant learns "How?" and "Why?"

Who Will Benefit from this keynote session: Leaders and managers at all levels; c-suite executives, directors, managers, supervisors, employees, business owners, customer service reps, front line staff, emerging leaders, student leaders, and anyone wanting to learn how to effectively lead and communicate with confidence.

5) One Team, One Purpose
       (Investing in the Personal and Team Growth of Every Leader and Team Member)

What is One Team, One Purpose?

One Team, One Purpose is an engaging keynote experience that provides leaders and professionals at all levels with the insights, skills, and tools to connect, communicate and cultivate high-impacting relationships.

6) Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) in the Workplace
         (The Increased Awareness and Skills Every Employee Needs)

Let's Create or Continue to Grow a Healthy and Thriving DEIB Culture

Corporate leaders are focusing on diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) like never before. The twin pandemics of the last 32 months—the COVID-19 pandemic and the social justice pandemic—have heightened leaders' awareness of the extent to which diverse populations have different experiences in the workplace and marketplace. That is why Ty Howard took a fresh look at diversity and inclusion to develop Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging in the Workplace for today's inclusion-focused work environments. DEIB creates a ripple effect that flows from the top-down through the entire workforce. In addition to promoting employee acceptance, collaboration and inclusion, it can strengthen retention strategies, help you attract talent from underrepresented groups, and boost work productivity and bottom-line results. Ty's DEIB keynote session goes beyond standard "check-the-boxes" training to provide meaningful reflection, participant involvement, and practical, real-world exercises designed to genuinely move teams and organizations forward with their Diversity and Inclusion efforts.

This keynote is an engaging DEIB awareness, education, and application session, delivered candid yet professional and low-tensioned, where everyone feels valued, appreciated, and celebrated for their culture and differences.

*Fyi: This session is 1 of 7 in a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) keynote or professional development training series.

7) The Extraordinary Servant Leader
       (Build trust, listen, connect, influence, genuinely care, and give feedback in ways that bring out the best in your people.)

As a leader, it's crucial to place your team members' needs as a priority while supporting their growth and development. Servant leaders are often considered extraordinary leaders; they constantly ask their people what they need to succeed. They live for and want to make a difference in the lives of their team members and, in the process, improve the quality and performance of the organization. When employees (team members) believe their leader has their best interests at heart, performance improves exponentially.

Many of today's leaders want to be servant leaders but need to learn how. They are so fixed on meeting the organization's needs that they lose sight of their people's concerns, desires, and needs. When leaders lead with heart, their team members develop a higher sense of well-being and belonging and bring their best to the job.

Ty Howard's The Extraordinary Servant Leader is a philosophy that emphasizes this approach, and it can significantly impact your individual leadership and organizational success. In this engaging, inspiring, fun, and empowering keynote session, your leaders will learn how to create a culture of empathy, collaboration, compassion, and empowerment within their teams. The assessment tool, interactive activities, immersive learning exercises, and real-world case studies offer participants practical skills for leading with compassion and creating a positive work environment.

Servant leadership training can benefit new and experienced leaders, as it can help them become more effective and respected leaders within their organization, agency, or academic institution.

8) Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
         (Dream Teams are Built on Vision, Trust, Togetherness, Culture, and Successful Teamwork)

Whether it's at the headquarters and senior leadership level, operations level, director or manager level, all staff level, customer service level, retention, or culture and growth level, team building is an excellent way for leaders and their teams to build confidence, communication, compassion, and connection skills. Teaching leaders (executives, directors, managers, supervisors, emerging leaders) to problem solve, communicate, lead the way, and execute working harmoniously with others benefits every organization today. It shows them how to be accountable and bring out the best in themselves and others—such great lessons for the achievement of team development and leadership success.

Ty Howard's "Teamwork Makes the Dream Work" keynote presentation allows leaders at all levels to learn the fundamentals of what makes a good team and explores the importance of team vision, role design, togetherness, cooperation, service excellence, and retention. He shares relatable stories and guiding principles for each area. He challenges attendees to apply those concepts to their team-building mindset through short audience participation, discussions, repeat/call-backs, and fun relating to the topic exercises. Participants will also learn important behaviors for leading a successful team, including communication, conflict resolution, and having the right attitude to make them productive team leaders who can be counted on to contribute to the organization's growth and success year-round.

9) Connection: Utilizing the Power of Influence, Inspiration, and Inclusion
         (Advancing the Benefits of Quality Unified Relationships by Investing in Future Extraordinary Leaders)

The Covid-19 pandemic certainly shook up the standard workday for businesses worldwide. Many companies had to navigate the uncharted waters and challenges of remote work, work/life balance, unpredictable schedules, and employee engagement.

Through virtual meetings and in-person events, Ty Howard listened to the needs of his employees, client's c-suite executives, client’s employees, and organizations around the globe. He thought a lot about what the “new normal” would look like and how our new remote structure would influence business and impact employee engagement, relationships, and connection. The takeaway from this extensive work and research was leaders wanted and needed to know how to reconnect with their team, leverage influence, foster inclusion in a remote work format, and inspire growth and productivity in daily work. In short, as a company, you have to find consistent and effective ways to keep employees feeling influenced, inspired, included, and connected.

Say, Hello, to a new style of more intentional leadership for a new era of thriving organizations. Today’s ‘Connected Leaders’ have recovered, developed, and utilize the power of influence, inspiration, and inclusion daily. As a crisis evolves, your leadership approach needs to change.

Ty Howard's Connection: Utilizing the Power of Influence, Inspiration, and Inclusion is an engaging, insightful, fun, energizing, and empowering keynote session to help leaders and their organizations to make extraordinary progress on awareness and reflection, intention and reconnection, individual and relationship care, empathy and compassion, influence and inclusion, communication and leadership, company-wide culture, goals and resilience, improving talent pipelines, and unlocking the full potential of people within the company.

Distance, Remote Work, or Uncertainty Do Not Have to Mean Non-Productivity. There is exponential power in connection. Call to hire Ty Howard today as your guest keynote speaker to learn 'How?' and 'Why?'

10) Building Accountability in the Workplace
         (Learn How to Empower Employees to Take Responsibility)

Stop poor effort, negativity, 'the blame games,' and finger-pointing before it reduces productivity and kills morale!

As a leader, you understand the tricky balancing act between empathy and accountability — especially when leading employees through change and uncertain times.

And while it's tempting to let accountability slide due to other challenges you're facing — do not give in. For teams to thrive today, leaders (managers) must prioritize accountability. Otherwise, even high performers will begin not making the effort. An accountable workforce manages itself! Imagine being freed up to focus on something other than day-to-day negative situations and disciplinary issues. Employees benefit because they are empowered and held accountable for their and the company's success.

Building Accountability in the Workplace teaches and explains to your leaders how to be more intentional about their expectations and how to strengthen workplace connections — the right way. Ty Howard shares practical strategies to help leaders coach and get their employees to realize the importance of every position, including their own. He also teaches you how to inspire and coach your employees to consistently embrace their responsibilities while improving their attitudes, mindfulness, work relationships, and overall job performance. This empowerment will tremendously and positively affect the company and their leadership effectiveness, happiness, and peace of mind.

Turn accountability into a positive for everyone on the team by hiring Ty Howard today to be your guest keynote speaker for your leadership group.

11) The ‘Want-to-Win’ Attitude
         (How to Learn, Practice, Teach, and Build It Inside of Every Member of Your Team)

Winning isn't everything, but developing a 'Want-to-Win' attitude is.

The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted everyone's attitude in some way. At the same time, many of us know that our attitude is the key to our success. Still, a few employees show up daily with negative, unproductive work attitudes. Poor attitudes that show clearly, they do not possess a 'Want-to-Win' attitude.

Poor attitudes drudgingly drain, stifle, and disrupt team and organizational efforts.

A 'Want-to-Win' attitude builds confidence. It increases your ability to take initiative, be resourceful, find solutions, lead by example, go the extra mile, and work cohesively, mindfully, and productively on a team. It creates healthy self-esteem while improving your daily relationships, outcomes, and results.

A 'Want-to-Win' attitude is an inside job. When you fail to bring a 'Want-to-Win' attitude to a project, task, or work team, you and your team will likely produce mediocre outcomes and results.

Ty Howard's The 'Want-to-Win' Attitude keynote session provides leaders at all levels with the education and skills needed to coach and guide their team members and selves to develop sustainable 'Want-to-Win' attitudes. Ty uses his 'Want-to-Win' Process Model to show and teach your leaders how to recognize the importance of a 'Want-to-Win' attitude, the origins and influences of a 'Want-to-Win' attitude, apply the principles that lead to positive 'Want-to-Win' attitude, take specific actions to remove barriers to a 'Want-to-Win' attitude, and how to develop and monitor individual action plans for each team member's 'Want-to-Win' attitude (a 3-to-5-minute process).

Here's where you, and your leaders, learn how to develop and teach others that a 'Want-to-Win' attitude is required to achieve great results: a career you enjoy, new opportunities, teamwork success, advancement in life, happiness, purpose, and job satisfaction.

12) Improving Effective Communication and Work Relationships Inside the Workplace
         (Building Communication Skills That Break Down Barriers to Effective Communication and Encourage Better Work Relationships)

Real leaders appreciate it when employees practice upward communication—taking the responsibility to communicate new ideas, innovations, conflict resolution strategies, team cohesiveness practices, and better ways to get the work accomplished. This ability is essential during times of change or disorder, where responsibilities can change unexpectedly, and barrier after barrier can break down communication across the organization on all levels.

Improving Effective Communication and Work Relationships Inside the Workplace offers practical and immediately useable strategies for upward communication—as well as across and downward communication—to recover and improve effective communication, build stronger work relationships, and deliver high-value results for yourself and your organization; no matter where you and your employee team members are positioned in the organizational chart.

13) Achieving Balance and Harmony at Work and in Life
         (Moving Beyond the Work-Life Balance Myth to Achieving Priorities and Getting More Production and Satisfaction Out of Your Day)

Everyone is seeking and talking about finding balance in their life and work—but you need to make the necessary changes and take action to make it happen! Achieving Balance and Harmony at Work and in Life shares new updated thinking, proven techniques, humor, engaging fun, music, and the necessary skills to get you committed to learning and practicing Ty Howard's counterintuitive approach on how to effectively develop and maintain a healthy symmetry within your professional and personal pursuits.

The secret to productivity (without anxiety) lies in defining priorities, organizing your day, managing your time effectively, and increasing your effectiveness at completing each task. Mastering these skills will help you distinguish "hard" work from "smart" work and allow you to handle all your responsibilities like a person in better control of your life. Whether you find yourself with a case of "being busy all the time," are guilty of killing your productivity with procrastination, poor planning, and personal disorganization, or need some tools for handling a seemingly endless string of interruptions, Achieving Balance and Harmony at Work and in Life was created to make you better organized, less stressed, and to add fun back to your work and life. This session will also move you beyond the work-life balance myth, re-ignite your passion for work and life, and help you get more out of each day.

14) Leading with Emotional Intelligence (EI)
         (How Successful People Put Their Emotional Skills to Work)

Here's where you learn how to improve your emotional intelligence skills to recognize and positively manage emotions in yourself, in others, and in groups.

Recent studies indicate that emotional intelligence is a powerful key to effective leadership. This valuable keynote session delivers in-depth knowledge and practical, emotional intelligence skills to ensure you are a strong, emotionally intelligent leader. You will learn how to apply emotional intelligence to specific leadership situations to increase confidence, improve teamwork, enhance communication, develop peak performance, build resilience, and protect your IQ with EI. Ty Howard will also provide you with current cutting-edge developments in leadership theory and practice to help you better collaborate and manage conflict with higher emotional intelligence.

Leading with Emotional Intelligence (EI) helps you develop successful leaders with a greater level of self-awareness, emotional control, and a better understanding of others. Emotionally intelligent executives, directors, managers, supervisors, and professional staff are your greatest assets; they are more focused, disciplined, collaborative, and productive.

15) Excelling in Leadership
         (7 Steps to Successful and Consistent Peak Performing Leadership)

For executives, directors and managers who are seeking strong leadership skills to help them motivate and inspire others.

Are you an executive or manager seeking fresh strategies to lead successful employee teams in today's work climate effectively? Or are you an executive or manager who struggles to boost employee morale, inspire consistent peak performance, improve productivity, stay ahead of your work, and prevent top talent or good employees from walking out the door?

According to a recent preliminary report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2.5 million American workers willingly left their positions. Why are so many employees willing to leave their employers? Are they leaving because of their leaders? By improving your management and leadership style, you can keep your top talent and inspire and elevate others to consistently peak perform. You can change how they feel about YOU, the executive or manager. Small steps and improvements can significantly affect how employees feel about their leader.

In this dynamic, interactive, and inspiring keynote session, Ty Howard skillfully takes leaders on a journey from just wearing the title of a leader to excelling in leadership. Excelling in Leadership addresses many challenges leaders face and must overcome daily to be effective and successful leaders. By inspiring executives and managers to build on their existing strengths, Ty also encourages them to embrace and practice excelling leadership skills, such as empowering team members, holding people accountable, using inclusive communication, and being trustworthy and mindful. Managers at all levels learn and grow tremendously from the collaboration, delegation, time management, and problem-solving portions of this session.

Excelling in Leadership is the right keynote presentation to wake up, engage, inspire, and charge-up leaders on all levels for what your organization has to offer and teach them. Your leaders will discover how great leaders take extra steps to ensure their work environments are open, trusting, innovative, inclusive, and productive. As a result, your employees will respond positively.

16) Compassionate Leadership
         (A Mindful Call to Lead with Increased Care, Awareness, and Emotional Intelligence)

There's a strong link between mindfulness and leadership effectiveness.

Compassionate Leadership is one's ability to intentionally see others as others see and feel. In today's climate, the tone and stage have been set for leaders to begin caring for human capital (human beings, people) from both the heart and mind. Many leaders fear altering their perspectives, behaviors, or leadership styles to adjust to this new approach, but it often proves more rewarding than challenging.

Ty Howard transports audiences on a journey through Compassionate Leadership examples from his career as a leader in the United States Navy and working in several positions after his military tenure as a human resource generalist, office manager, corporate trainer, sales manager, and trainer, intervention and behavior specialist manager, business leader, executive, and manager development coach, organizational development consultant, and public speaker. He talks about compassionate leadership in an enlightening and transformational way so that leaders on all levels walk away with a mindful call to action to lead with increased care, awareness, and emotional intelligence for the better! Recent research has found that increasing mindfulness increases charisma and productivity, decreases burnout and accidents, increases creativity and innovation, improves likability and relationships, decreases conflict and insensitivity, increases focus and resilience, and improves health and longevity. There is a great benefit in teaching people to live and lead with compassion; it transfers to bottom-line measures and future organizational success.

Ty Howard's Compassionate Leadership keynote session elevates the consciousness of leaders to serve the highest good—not just influencing and lifting a lot of employees and shareholders, but the communities in which they operate and the world.

17) Leading with Confidence, Integrity, and By Example
         (Becoming a Leader People Want to Follow)

Leadership is a critical skill that every professional should possess to be successful in today's work environment. Developing into an Influential and Effective Leader goes beyond traditional assessments of your qualities and the application of those results. In this empowering, high-energy, and interactive keynote session, Ty uses personal anecdotes, motivation, inspiration, research on top leaders, humor, and fun to awaken the spirit of confidence, ethical leadership, and leading by example.

Leading with Confidence, Integrity, and By Example builds on insights that will help you uncover your mindset, develop your passion for leadership, and consequently empower you to influence and empower others to perform at their peak continuously.
