Leaders in every organization are tired. Global issues are now affecting companies of every size, and retention and engagement are critical issues on every leader’s mind. Add to that the daily rigors of managing risk and growth and it’s easy to see why many great leaders have stepped down due to stress and uncertainty. On the flip side, employees are also struggling with the stress of varying levels of uncertainty, more work, and transactional exchanges that leave them wondering if they are being valued.

Using her Amazon-bestselling book, The Culture Climb, as the foundation for this talk, Jaime explains how to use culture to grow a healthy and sustainable business and gives you actionable takeaways so you can do something about your culture immediately. Leading with both strategy and culture, you enable the potential in others and drive the business to its fullest potential.

We can all achieve great success, and we all get lost from time to time on our way there. We zig-zag through “shoulds” and the pressures of societal expectations by following rules rather than listening to our inner guidance. We let fear or uncertainty cloud our actions. We react with paralysis or avoidance because we feel stuck or have a hunch we could be doing more. The problem isn’t that we have those feelings, it’s that we don’t know how to move past them.

We will discuss these shared experiences that often hold us back as we move throughout our life journey in our careers, lives and personal growth. We will discuss a series of nudges, reflections, and myth-busting truths that will help everyone see the challenges — and successes — differently.

“You don’t climb a mountain for the world to see you differently, you climb a mountain so you can see the world differently.”

As leaders we all have proverbial mountains that we have to climb in our careers and personal lives. But the journey to success and the top of the mountain can be full of obstacles and things that will knock us off course. In this keynote, Jaime shares her personal story of climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest point in Africa, and the lessons that she learned on the mountain that have impacted her personal and professional success.

Jaime’s priority is helping people achieve success through authenticity and accountability and has made it her life’s work.

There is a dramatic gap between two very tired and frustrated stakeholder groups in the corporate world today – leaders and employees. And this gap is not getting smaller. But there is reason to be excited about the future of work, as Chief Vision Officer and Founder of Keystone Group International, Jaime Taets shares with corporate audiences around the world.

With a fresh and relevant perspective straight from the C-Suite of Fortune 100s, Jaime guides leaders and their people to embrace a new approach that can bridge the gap between what leaders and organizations need in order to grow, and what their employees want in order to stay. To successfully achieve this new future of work, leaders will need to address and deliver on the permanent concerns of human beings – being known, valued, and connected. But it will also rely on employees embracing their roles with more certainty.

This new and powerful mindset shifts the narrative from blame to collaboration. Jaime has shared this approach with hundreds of executive teams around the world. When all stakeholders recognize the shared responsibility in creating a corporate culture focused on human needs as well as productivity and growth, it creates a competitive advantage, produces better long-term success, and ultimately fosters an employment brand that retains and engages talent.
