What makes certain professionals rise above the rest? Why do some individuals consistently take initiative, solve problems, and inspire those around them, while others struggle to stand out? In her bestselling book, Impact Players: How to Take the Lead, Play Bigger, and Multiply Your Impact, renowned leadership coach and researcher Liz Wiseman uncovers the mindset and behaviors that set top performers apart.

In every organization, Impact Players are the go-to colleagues—the ones entrusted with critical assignments, who bring energy and innovation to their work, and who elevate the performance of those around them. Managers recognize their immense value and want more of them on their teams, whether they lead from center stage or behind the scenes.

Join us for an exclusive conversation with Liz Wiseman as she shares compelling insights from her research with 170 leaders at top organizations like Google, NASA, LinkedIn, and Adobe. Through real-world examples and actionable strategies, Wiseman reveals what the most influential players are doing differently, how small and seemingly insignificant differences in how we think and act can make an enormous impact, and why—with a little coaching—this mindset is available to everyone who wants to contribute at their highest level and do more meaningful work.

During this session, you will learn:

• The five key practices that distinguish high-impact professionals
• How Impact Players think and act differently in the workplace
• Strategies for navigating uncertainty and solving messy problems with confidence
• Ways to increase your influence and value within your organization
• How leaders can identify, develop, and support Impact Players on their teams

Whether you're an aspiring leader, a seasoned executive, or a professional looking to amplify your influence, this event will provide valuable takeaways to help you play bigger and create meaningful impact.
