Did you know that actively disengaged workers cost the U.S. upwards of $550 billion in lost productivity annually? Unhappy workers are costing your company valuable time and money.

The solution lies in the conscious development of The Ownership Mindset in yourself and your team.

Owners act and think differently than employees–their business is more than a source of income; it’s part of their identity. Employees, on the other hand, don’t see a difference between accountability and responsibility, resulting in low job performance, little loyalty, and disappointing results.

What if you could inspire your employees to tap into the power of The Ownership Mindset?

In this inspiring keynote, Kerry Siggins shares how she led her $100M company in making a dramatic shift in mentality from an employee mindset to an ownership mindset. She walks you through the step-by-step process she used to create an incredible culture of responsibility and accountability, where employees are self-motivated to do whatever it takes to solve challenging customer problems and be great teammates to one another.

Your audience will leave with a deep understanding of The Ownership Mindset and actionable takeaways they can implement today, whether they are first-time managers or seasoned executives.

Did you know that a whopping 84% of leaders say they experience imposter syndrome frequently, and only 5% percent of employers discuss imposter syndrome with their employees? Left unaddressed, the “Fake it ‘til you make it” culture causes leaders to crash and burn.

Imposter syndrome leaves leaders feeling inadequate and compensating for their self-doubt. These leaders offset imposter syndrome by telling white lies, cutting corners, or even cheating, chipping away at their credibility, leaving them ineffective at best. And at worst – look at Elizabeth Holmes of Theranos or Kenneth Lay of Enron.

Enter The Ownership Mindset. By learning to lead themselves, leaders can overcome impostor syndrome and become the confident, effective leaders they were meant to be.

In this emotional and inspiring keynote, Kerry shares how imposter syndrome almost destroyed her. She illuminates how she overhauled her thinking by embracing “The Ownership Mindset” and used it to turn her life around to become a powerful and inspiring leader.

After hearing Kerry’s story, leaders will understand how to face their insecurities and be inspired to kick their imposter syndrome to the curb. They will see how openly embracing their flaws and The Ownership Mindset will make them more effective leaders – leaders worth following.

The world is changing rapidly, and it’s hard to keep up. What worked yesterday might not work tomorrow. How can leaders become an example of accountability and balance the old with the new so they can disrupt their industries and avoid being disrupted themselves?

Many leaders are looking at old or soon to be obsolete practices in their industries, asking, “How do I build a sustainable company when the future looks very different?” At this point, complacency will lead straight to failure.

The secret is ambidextrous thinking–learning how to balance the core business with future opportunities. You must be able to hold seemingly opposable ideas in your mind and look for ways you can do both: exploit and explore.

In this thought-provoking keynote, Kerry shares how she approached running a business that is based in using water, all while watching the country’s largest reservoirs shrink to almost nothing through ambidextrous thinking and working with her team to consider a different future, she was able to become an example of accountability and disrupt an entire industry, while also building a $100M company.

As leaders, especially those looking to disrupt, we must embrace the inherent tension between how things are now and how things will change. We must recognize that new opportunities might not fit into an established system or manner of doing business. Embracing this tension is a recipe for success.
