Between ever-changing work practices and the elusive act of fulfilling personal and professional demands, leaders must navigate a new world of challenges and strike the right tone of balancing completion with compassion. Dr. Sharon Melnick introduces the idea that power is the underlying issue in many of the trends we see among employees and that leaders who use their power for the good of all can create team members who are loyal, inspired, and accountable.  What Dr. Melnick sees from having coached and trained over 40,000 professionals is that leaders already have so much more power than they realize or are using.

As a Marshall Goldsmith Top 100 Coach, Sharon combines proven leadership best practices with behavior change methods she developed through 10 years of psychology research at Harvard Medical School. Sharon has spoken at over 200 retreats and leadership conferences around the world (as well as presenting at the White House, the United Nations, and at West Point). She hosts the popular podcast, The Power Shift. Her awaited third book In Your Power: React Less, Regain Control, Raise Others launched in Nov. 2022. 

Sharon can share a wealth of knowledge, ideas, and personal experience with your audience, including:

• The difference between being ‘in power’ and being ‘in your power’ and the #1 form of abuse of power to watch out for. 
• Go beyond your job description to understand the hidden sources of power already in your role, so you can shift from playing your small game to your BIG game
• How to get comfortable with the power you have and use it for the good of all 
• Fix situations that are personally frustrating for you by leading organizational solutions from which everyone benefits 
• The Leader creates the weather on the team - how to create the weather that keeps your team members and colleagues inspired and engaged.
• Grow power in others: How to get your team members to take ownership of solving their problems, and Why growing power in others is the key to increasing their power as well as yours.  

With this fresh perspective, she will show you how to respond, not react to roadblocks in the workplace, so you can regain control and unleash the positive energy that comes from being a Change Agent who makes it better for everyone!
