Decoding Others & Communicating with Impact

Jahnavi Brenner, CEO and Founder at The Vivid Leader

We all have our preferred ways of thinking and behaving, and we often communicate in those ways. Yet, the people around us have their own preferences. Using the Emergenetics framework, learn about distinct thinking and behavioral preferences & leverage this knowledge to increase your ability to influence, lead, and collaborate with others!

Taking It Off the Shelf: From Strategic Plan to Active Implementation James Mejía, M.B.A., M.P.P., Chief Strategy Officer at MSU Denver Meredith L. Jeffers, Ph.D., Director of University Strategy at MSU Denver In this session, the co-presenters will share lessons learned in galvanizing a large university community toward active implementation of its 2030 Strategic Plan (fondly referred to as “the brochure”). More specifically, we will begin by briefly explaining the timeline of the strategic plan and why it was stalled from 2020 to 2023. We will then unpack how we got the university back on track, utilizing a publicly-facing dashboard of board-approved metrics and an internal methodology (“OKRs: Objectives and Key Results”) for focusing, aligning, committing to, and tracking the same enterprise-wide initiatives that impact the metrics that matter most. To conclude, we will reflect on our first year of implementation, and how we reviewed and refreshed our implementation plan for the upcoming fiscal year. Following this presentation, we will save time for Q/A from attendees.
