We're All in This Together
We may not always be in the same boat, but we’re usually all in the same storm…just in different boats. Great teams find a way to come together and build authentic relationships, regardless of the circumstances they face.
This keynote is based on the almost 25 years of research and experience Mike Robbins has done on the topics of appreciation, authenticity, communication, collaboration, and performance, as well as the core themes of his five books, especially his latest title, We’re All in This Together.
- Authenticity Leads to Greater Trust and Psychological Safety – Understanding and embodying authenticity is essential for leaders and teams to enhance trust with one another and psychological safety for the group.
- Appreciation is Distinct from Recognition – Recognition is about results. Appreciation is about people. Teams and leaders who understand and act upon this important distinction are able to collaborate and perform their best.
- Embrace Change by Embracing Challenges – There is so much change and challenge in today’s world. The people, leaders, teams, and companies that lean into the uncertainty and difficulties with a growth mindset have an important advantage.

Leadership can be challenging, especially in today’s fast-paced, globalized world. Leaders with a strong sense of emotional intelligence (EQ), a willingness to be courageous and vulnerable, and the capacity to inspire others in a genuine way, have a distinct advantage.

Appreciation is one of the most powerful yet overlooked aspects of successfully motivating and empowering people and teams. According to the latest research in the fields of positive psychology and strengths-based leadership, when individuals and teams put more attention on what is working, instead of focusing on problems and perceived weaknesses, they thrive. Through this program, which is based on the key principles of his book Focus on the Good Stuff, Mike Robbins illustrates exactly how appreciation impacts productivity, morale and success.
This program:
