ONE-DEGREE SHIFTS: BUILDING TOMORROW’S GREATEST PLACES TO WORK
If there is one thing we’ve all learned in the past months, it is that the future is impossible to predict. Knowing that, how do we build teams that thrive in the weeks, months and years to come? The answer lies in one-degree shifts: small, consistent changes that enable teams to build trust, remove friction, and build a culture of innovation.
In this engaging, and takeaway-loaded presentation, workplace expert Eric Termuende shares what years of research, stories, and insights uncover about the one-degree shifts leaders use to adapt to an ever-changing world around them and build incredible teams. From Domino’s Pizza to the British Cycling Team, discover how the consistent application of small, incremental changes improves camaraderie, belonging, psychological safety, and engagement. While the future of work is certain to be uncertain, there is nothing to say we can’t still thrive in it.
IN THIS PRESENTATION, LEADERS WILL LEARN THE SECRET OF A ONE-DEGREE SHIFT TO: • Reduce friction and build trust • Increase effectiveness of remote/hybrid teams • Build a culture of innovation • Understand your role in creating a ‘greatest place to work’ • Discover what cilantro teaches us about strong workplace culture
LEADING REMOTE TEAMS: MAINTAINING ENGAGEMENT, PRODUCTIVITY, AND HAPPINESS
Having studied some of the world’s best leaders and surveyed thousands of employees, workplace expert and bestselling author Eric Termuende knows that those who lead remote teams do three things effectively: They communicate well, reduce friction, and build a deep sense of trust. With the world changing at a break-neck pace, there are key steps we can take today to ensure that we’re mitigating burnout and getting the most out of our teams whether working remotely or together in the office.
In this fully customized, insightful, and takeaway-filled keynote, Eric Termuende shares leadership stories from the Cleveland Browns to Chicago’s Holy Cross Hospital to uncover what separates incredible hybrid workplaces from those that are losing talent and suffering as a result. Building stronger remote teams requires a deeper understanding of how we use our time, connect with our people, and tie recognition back to our values. While the future is anything but certain, the actions we take today are sure to prepare us for whatever the world throws our way.
ATTENDEES WILL LEARN: • Three simple shifts to deepen trust, belonging, and psychological safety • A framework to boost innovation and creativity • What to expect in the future of work and how to evolve accordingly • The difference in communication with remote and in-person team members • How to get more smiles from the team and reduce friction
THE GREAT RESIGNATION: WHY THIS IS THE BIGGEST OPPORTUNITY WE’VE NEVER SEEN TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN INCREDIBLE TEAMS
300 people on 100 teams with 7 days to get from London to Berlin. The catch? No communication with anyone outside your team, no currency or credit cards, no pre-arranged accommodation and no pre-arranged transportation – only 24 cans of RedBull. Would we make it? And what would it teach us about leading and cultivating an incredible team?
Regardless of which research we subscribe to; the outlook is bleak: employees coast-to-coast are transitioning jobs at rates we haven’t seen since the Vietnam War. And while many of us think this is a threat to our workplace culture and organizational success, the truth is that the opportunity has never been greater to establish a one-of-a-kind culture that attracts and keeps an incredible team. Instead of calling it ‘The Great Resignation’, perhaps it should be called ‘The Great Reconfiguration’. After all, people aren’t leaving the workforce, they’re aligning with a lifestyle that suits them. This is where the secrets lie.
In this head-scratching, insight-filled, and unexpectedly funny keynote, workplace culture and future of work expert Eric Termuende takes us on a journey filled with out-of-the-box ideas that are budget-free and immediately actionable as we work to not just survive ‘The Great Resignation’ but thrive through it. Just because there is a national talent shortage, doesn’t mean our team has to have one too.
IN THIS PRESENTATION, ATTENDEES WILL LEARN: • What it means to ‘plant your flag’ and how to do it • How to tell a better story to attract top talent • Why the best defence is a good offence and how to retain your best people • Where your best recruiters are (hint* they’re closer than you think) and how to give them the free tools they need to build the team • What cilantro teaches us about workplace culture and attracting top talent • Why all of your eggs should actually be in one basket
THE PERFECT STORM: WHAT IS REALLY CAUSING THE TALENT SHORTAGE AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT
It is no secret that the world of work has evolved an incredible amount in the past two years. From how we communicate, where we work, and what is expected from our leaders, trying to keep up with the changes has been downright exhausting. And while managing the day-to-day has been challenging enough, a storm has been brewing and the clouds are rolling in. A talent crisis is on the horizon and COVID isn't the only thing to blame.
In this research-heavy, eye-opening, and actionable presentation, learn from leadership and workplace culture expert Eric Termuende as he shares what is really casing The Great Resignation, a looming national talent shortage, and the key steps we can take today to build incredible teams, sustain growth, and thrive in the future of work.
IN THIS PRESENTATION, ATTENDEES WILL LEARN: • 6 factors contributing to the talent crisis • Why COVID is only partly responsible for The Great Resignation • How to attract top talent and stand out • Why the best attraction strategy is a good retention strategy and how to build it • What key actions leaders can take to build trust, engagement, and belonging on their teams

I’ve contracted and supported many Executive Leadership Summits for the agency over the years and it is not often that they say…”This is the best Summit we’ve ever had!” There’s been a lot of that type of feedback today and it is much deserved and well-earned praise. – SUSAN SCHOENBERG, NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

Rethink Work
This book tackles one of the big problems employers face today: finding and keeping the best employees, especially at a time when young workers typically quit after only three years on the job. Rethink Work stands out from other books in this category because the author is one of those young people: 24-year-old Eric Termuende, a rising star on the international speakers circuit. Instead of relying on the well-tread but often misguided notions that emerge from surveys, Termuende writes about the actual experiences of young people on the job. The result is a refreshing look at the workplace today.
To keep the best employees, companies need to focus not on what they do, but how they do it, with whom they do it, and why. This will be the true differentiator for companies in the future.
Termuende’s advice is soothingly old fashioned. This young writer says it’s time to put away the devices, at least part of the time, and start talking face to face with other people in the office. What young people want is human connection, and when they have it, they will perform at a high level and stay loyal.
This means treating people like the individuals they are, not as stereotypes― such as so-called Millennials, who are typically branded by their elders as being entitled. It means talking with each other, not texting. The workplace of the future, in other words, will restore the value of old-fashioned human relationships.
