You don’t have the spirit of Gandhi. You don’t have
the military strategy of Douglas MacArthur—and you weren’t
even born with the organizational wisdom of Jack Welch. Can you
still be a leader? You’ve examined your personality and
established great big hairy audacious goals. You see lots of obstacles
ahead…

Book Ralph Jacobson as your next speaker! Ralph works with leaders
who truly want to
know how to create personal and organization success. He will
show you that most of what you have read and believe about leadership
is myth. After his presentation you will clearly see that:
•A leader is a person—leadership is an incredibly
important function
•A leader is a person—leadership is not a solo act
•Leadership is not about charisma or personality, but
a process that can be learned
•When people learn the science of leadership, the art
will naturally follow

Between a rock and a hard place: Balancing Paradox
Clearly the world has become more complex. Are you focused on
the short term, or the long term? Your personal life or your professional
life? Taking care of your department or focusing on the needs
of your company? If you choose any one of these, you are probably
limiting your life.
What keeps most leaders and professionals up at night are not
the problems they are used to solving. Instead, the issues that
keep leaders from realizing success are often not their ability
to solve problems, but how they manage thorny and reoccurring
paradoxes. In this highly engaging and interactive, and enjoyable
session, participants:
- Learn to identify the difference between problems and paradoxes
- Why it is perilous to treat paradoxes as problems
- The architecture of a paradox
- The process for engaging others in balancing paradox
Walk the paradoxes that you experience everyday…and see
why they are perplexing. Leave with a new approach to address
many of life’s most difficult challenges.

the emotions and provides instead a more effective way to meet
the challenges that have to be overcome. Participants:

behavior
