Keynote 8 - John Robertson - Better than Before
9:55 AM - 10:55 AM Thu
There is so much talk about when things get back to normal that people get caught with a romantic notion of what was. It's as if the past was some perfect utopia in the workplace and let's all try to go back there. Times of significant change or crisis always reveal the tragic reality that the future is seldom a static point of time. It is time to be honest and have honest conversations about what it will take to be a healthier person and workplace afterwards. Whether it is a healthcare, education, or any other existing system working harder at a model that is not already working will not make things better, stronger or faster.
John is absolutely invested in everything he does, in both his business and personal life. He invests his time, energy, faith, presence, initiative, and willingness to serve. The depth of his values anchored commitment to forward growth in himself and others strengthens his relationships and is the foundation for his solution focused training. Taking the long view, John is steadfastly willing to experience short term cost for long term gain. Because he is confident that he's living his values, and he's at peace with the discomfort of sacrifice required to ultimately achieve growth. This enduring trust allows him to be calm and focused, while simultaneously maintaining a passionate faithfulness to his values. Inspired and driven by his values, John acts a facilitator for his clients as they test, discover and expand what they can do. He uses concrete, verifiable processes to help them achieve demonstratable, solution - focused results. He provides spirit-filled, insightful guidance that his clients use to amplify their lives and their businesses. John truly provides leadership that people can follow through storms.
