8:20 am - 10:00 amLeadership and the Art of Reinvention
Nadya Zhexembayeva, Chief Reinvention Officer, WE EXIST Reinvention Agency
Ask any manager on planet Earth, ‘What is your key challenge?’ and among many different responses one will strike you with remarkable consistency: Staying afloat. The fast-moving roller-coaster economy we live in today makes this task increasingly difficult. Change is happening more often and at a faster speed than ever before. Just as we handle one crisis, another appears around the corner. How can we survive and even thrive? The answer is the one you've heard before: We must consistently remake who we are, what we offer, and how we deliver our offerings to the world. Put simply, we must reinvent. In fact, we must reinvent so frequently and so radically that the traditional roles and processes inside of an organization cannot keep up. It’s time to make reinvention into its own competence- whatever function or responsibility you are in. "Built to last" is no longer acceptable: today, we must build to reinvent. This keynote speech will help you with this task!

11:15 am - 12:05 pmHow to Lead Reinvention Without Losing Your Mind
Nadya Zhexembayeva, Chief Reinvention Officer, WE EXIST Reinvention Agency
We all know the next big crisis is coming. We don’t know when, why, or what will take place, but history is clear: business is cyclical, and a new crisis is just around the corner. How do we prepare?

Companies and their leaders talk about getting ready. But let’s face it: when the rubber hits the road, we get overwhelmed by the day-to-day tasks, KPIs, and the endless to-do lists. Thinking about a bright new tomorrow is exciting, but the bosses are wait-ing, the customers are calling, and the shareholders are demanding results today. How can we lead reinvention without losing our minds?

After personally educating, coaching, and developing nearly 10,000 executives, Dr. Nadya Zhexembayeva is ready to share in-depth framework for how to lead in our new VUCA reality – the volatile, uncertain, complex ,and ambiguous world.

Leaders want to know how their teams can rise above any challenge and succeed no matter what comes their way. Whether it's to embrace change, overcome obstacles, sustain growth, or take your success to the next level, they want to "Embrace the Shake''.

And like Phil's art, "Embrace the Shake" isn't just talk, it's an experience! Through jaw-dropping visuals and LIVE interactive art, get ready to break preconceived assumptions, activate your creative capacity, and bring fresh ways of viewing the task at hand that will culminate with success.
