FEATURING:

Gary GzikBuilding a Kick Ass Company

We all want to be part of an organization that matters — one that is more than just a place where work gets done and instead leaves a lasting legacy. Called Kick Ass Companies, they know their true purpose, with leaders that people follow and teams that say “yes” even before they know what their leaders need. Building a Kick Ass Company isn’t for the faint of heart. It requires hard work, commitment and dedication — along with the ability to look

deep within, be uncomfortable and answer the tough questions.

During this keynote, Gary Gzik will walk you through the three key areas for building a Kick Ass Company. Not only useful and

informative, this presentation will be inspiring, entertaining and fun, and you will leave with your mind and heart full.

Gary believes that a business is more than just plans, processes and technology — it is the people and culture that truly make it great. He is passionate about giving people the tools to build strong organizations that are not only profitable but are raved about by customers and loved by employees. Over the years, he’s brought these beliefs to thousands of individuals and hundreds of organizations, including RBC, Proctor & Gamble, Linamar, Mohawk Council of Akwesasne, Ferrero, Weston Forest and more. He is an international presenter and the author of two books.

From this presentation you will gain the following tangible takeaways:

• Six weekly hacking activities to build a Kick Ass Culture• A tool to boost recognition in the workplace• A tool to identify and leverage strengths and accomplishments

Imagine Your Workplace Conference is designed to spark conversation and connection. This program is delivered in the spirit of “imagine your workplace” — what could you achieve if deliberate intention rather than unconscious reaction drove your work? This unique event is a convergence of the latest research with practical application to improve the quality of organizations.

The morning will focus on the science behind

engagement, with succinct, highly polished five to 10 minute lightning talk sessions involving some of Canada’s most respected experts.

The practical application of that science will be covered in the afternoon by a compelling keynote and an engaging hands-on workshop.

Throughout the day you will have powerful networking opportunities to connect with each other and our experts.

Change: How We Made a Bad Situation Worse

EXPERT: Elizabeth Williams, President, Candler Chase Inc.

When organizational change is communicated well, employees, customers and stakeholders are engaged and onside.
