Most high-performing leaders don’t realize when they’ve shifted from thriving to simply surviving.
They’re still delivering results.
Still composed. Still responsible.
But internally? Depleted.
In this interactive session, leadership coach and former Ford Motor Company Senior Director Stacy Balzer will challenge the pressure-driven leadership habits many leaders fall into and introduce a powerful truth: Encouragement isn’t soft — it’s a leadership multiplier.
Research shows:
- Managers account for up to 70% of employee engagement (Gallup)
- Psychological safety drives innovation (Google Project Aristotle)
- Recognition dramatically improves retention
And yet, leaders are often the least encouraged people in the room.
During this session you will:
✔ Take a quick Thriving or Surviving Leadership Assessment
✔ Identify the signals that you may be operating in survival mode
✔ Learn practical ways to become an Encouraging Catalyst for your team and culture
With more than 30 years of leadership experience, including leading an organization of 600+ people at Ford, Stacy brings real-world insight into how leaders can deliver results without sacrificing themselves in the process.
If you’ve been carrying more than you should alone, that’s not weakness. It’s a signal.
Join us and walk away with the clarity and tools to lead with energy, impact, and encouragement.
