Invisible Leaders
How to Find Them and Help Them Shine
Creating visibility is about uncovering the invisible potential leaders and giving them the skills to rise to the top. You begin by recognizing the value of diversity. People lack visibility because of their gender, their ethnicity, their sexual orientation, or their family culture.

Your leaders will walk away knowing how to:
- Increase their profile across the organization and among higher levels of management

Your leaders will walk away knowing how to:
- Improve their conflict-resolution skills
- Get to the root of the situation
- Initiate and resolve the difficult conversations
Every workplace experiences conflict, confrontation, and controversy. No one enjoys tackling the touchy topics, so an attitude of avoidance leads to misunderstanding and decreased productivity.

If these differences are not handled in a positive manner, your people will experience anxiety, bruised egos, and possibly even exploding tempers.
As a corporate speaker, Joel is highly skilled at teaching leaders and manager’s motivational strategies for handling difficult conversations while minimizing conflict and tension. They will be able to avoid damaging the working relationships that are so important to their success. This presentation will show your people how to confront issues without being confrontational.
