Speaking Topics

The Relationship Comes First: Discovering the True Path to Employee Engagement

Work has been defined in many ways over the years: a contract, a transaction, a value exchange between a worker and their employer. Many organizations even refer to employees as “Human Capital” and treat them like assets to be managed and optimized. Is it any wonder that employee engagement continues to drop as employees dream of finding a better place to work? It turns out that we don’t like to be treated like an investment to be maximized.

 

If we hope to get the best of our people, it starts with understanding what work is for employees–a relationship. Research has shown that employees crave the same things from work that they do from any important relationships in their lives: appreciation, acceptance, communication, commitment, and support. In this session, we will explore how managers and leaders can invite employees to be their best at work by making work feel more like a healthy relationship.

 

Leading through Compassion in the Future of Work

The future of work arrived ahead of schedule in 2020. Amidst the disruption of a global pandemic, it was revealed that the old way of working is no longer relevant. Our imperative was to quickly reinvent when, where, and how work happens. We are never going back to the old way. This new landscape of work requires managers and leaders to be more engaged with their people than ever before. Today and in the future, the managers who can best support employee well-being will be those who thrive.

 

At the heart of well-being is ensuring your people feel cared about as a person–not just for their work output. This can feel uncomfortable and isn’t a natural skill for most of us. Plus, it’s not something found in most management training programs. But it can be learned, and it starts with developing compassion. When managers bring compassion to their jobs, they develop a deeper understanding of what their people truly need to offer their full potential at work.

 

In this session, you will learn:

  • Why leading for well-being requires compassion
  • An understanding of the four components of compassion
  • How managers can use compassion to foster employee well-being and performance

“If you’re looking for a speaker that absolutely must deliver, Jason should be at the top of your list. There are many speakers on the circuit who tout their ability to drive performance, culture, and stronger leadership. Few speakers can both engage audiences AND partner with companies to ensure their message aligns with business needs. Jason is one of the special ones. I have had the pleasure of working with him on a ton of speaking and content opportunities, and he consistently crushes it.”

"The day was indeed wonderful. Jason was warm, personable, engaging, and insightful. I benefited from personal, small group sharing and from his presentations. We will plan to send the formal reviews out soon, but all of the anecdotal feedback from the day was exceedingly positive. One of the things I have meditated on most since last week was this particular line, "Uncertainty is bad in every relationship." I have used that as a spur toward more positive relations at work and in my personal life. We are grateful for Jason and his service to us. I hope to connect again in the future."

"Jason was a hit at MHEDA’s Annual Convention. The true testimonial is when an attendee follows up with us immediately after our meeting asking for a speaker’s handout materials. Jason was gracious to comply right away and our attendee was thrilled. I personally took away some great nuggets to implement internally. I highly recommend Jason and we hope to work with him again."
