Helping people develop their potential—enabling them to articulate and become the self they want to be, are capable of being, and that best serves them and others in the short and long term—is what we as individuals and leaders strive toward. Join Whitney Johnson for this informative keynote to envision how growth happens. She'll share a simple visual model, The S Curve of Learning (based on Rogers' diffusion curve), illustrating the growth process and providing a shared language for leaders to talk about growth and development. Now more than ever, your people want to grow. When you understand how to optimize their growth, you increase their capacity (and your own) to grow.
