Getting to What Matters
How to evaluate and communicate your impact
How do you know you are making a difference?
All of us who desire to see people change need a way both to prove and to improve our impact in the lives of those we serve. We need data to demonstrate that we are making a difference. We also need data to show us how to get better. Too often we are influenced by a singular anecdote, program satisfaction, or superficial metrics that miss the deeper, more durable, more meaningful aspects of human progress and development. We need better ways to evaluate what really matters. Based on the learning from over a decade of capacity-building with hundreds of programs and agencies across North America, Steve Patty Ph.D. will bring to us innovative thinking and proven techniques to help us prove and improve our impact.

Curating your Culture
How to create the key ideas of your culture
Do the people on your team and in your organization have a clear idea of who they want to be?
Do people know what they stand for, what they want to accomplish, how they should approach their work, and how they should show up in all things? The problem with many culture statements, is that they are too vague or aspirational to be of much use. Based on close to 20 years working with teams to develop and live their culture, Steve Patty, Ph.D. will present a model on how to design a robust and powerful set of ideas to shape organizational culture, ethos, purpose, and impact.

Your Life’s Purpose
How to be intentional about who you want to be
Why are you here?
What do you want your life’s impact on the world to be? Some people find purpose for the lives by accident, but most do so only though thoughtfulness and intention. To reach our full potential, we need clarity about why we are here, what we believe in, what impact we want to have, and how we will pursue what we want for our lives. We need a plan. This presentation will introduce you to a model of intentionality that will give you a clarity about the way forward.

Is your teaching transformational?
All of us teach, formally through our presentations or informally through our conversations. But most of us just speak. We don’t activate the developmental principles that cause people to think, internalize, move, and change. In this presentation, we will explore the secrets of developmental teaching that will help you, in whatever ways you interact with people, to make an impact and leave a lasting legacy.
