  • Your Communication Is Your Culture — Here’s How Leaders Get It Wrong (and Right)

    Khewna Dawar, Leadership and Human Behavior Expert, The Growth Lab Show

    In today’s workplace, culture is no longer defined by posters on the wall or leadership statements — it is shaped, moment by moment, through communication. Every email, meeting, message, and micro-interaction creates a psychological climate that either builds trust and clarity or fuels confusion and disengagement. In this session, Khewna Dawar unpacks the behavioral science behind how leaders unintentionally communicate the wrong signals, even with the right intentions, and how small shifts in language, presence, and awareness can transform a team’s performance. MORE >

    Grounded in organizational psychology and real-world leadership experiences, this presentation reveals the hidden patterns that undermine culture: misaligned expectations, inconsistent messaging, psychological unsafety, and the gap between what leaders say and what teams actually hear. Khewna offers a practical, actionable framework that helps leaders redesign their communication to drive connection, accountability, and high trust.

    Leaders will walk away with tools they can apply immediately — including techniques to navigate difficult conversations, create clarity under pressure, and communicate with presence and emotional intelligence. This session is ideal for organizations looking to elevate leadership effectiveness, strengthen team cohesion, and build a culture where people can grow, perform, and thrive.

  • Turn Your Roadblocks Into Building Block

    James (Mac) McPartland, Executive Coach and Keynote Speaker

    In this session, we will explore how to shift our perspective on the challenges we face in both life and business. Often seen as obstacles, roadblocks can actually be powerful tools for growth. By reframing these challenges as opportunities for learning and development, HR executives can empower their teams to view setbacks as stepping stones towards success. We will discuss practical strategies for reallocating energy, turning roadblocks into teachable moments, and asking the right questions to unlock new possibilities. Learn how to cultivate a mindset that elevates both personal and professional performance, creating a culture where challenges fuel progress rather than hinder it. MORE >

    Three learning objectives:

  • Top 5 Trends To Watch In the Future of Business

    Cliff Beach, MBA, Author, Musician, VP of Digital & Operations, Side Hustle & Flow

    In my talk on "The Future of Business," I emphasize the power of product reviews, especially expert opinions, which are trusted even more than recommendations from friends and family. I stress the importance of user-generated content, like photos and videos, for community engagement. I predict a decline in influencer marketing as people seek authenticity. Additionally, I highlight the necessity of ongoing education and efficient work practices for staying competitive in the market. MORE >

  • The Attitudes, Behaviors and Techniques of a Successful Salesperson

    Scott Bailey, President, Sandler Training by Bailey Marketing Concepts

    Most amateur salespeople turn to one-day “quick-fixes” for their professional training. They prefer seminars to long-term personal growth commitments because they get a quick rush of adrenalin. Professional salespeople know that real change takes a long-term view and engagement over time, never overnight. MORE >

    Scott will demonstrate that only a balanced approach to personal growth much involve three key areas:

    Attitude: what we think and believe.
    Behavior: what we do and how we act.
    Technique: how we do what we do.

  • The 7 Seconds That Shape Your Leadership: The Psychology of Executive Presence

    Khewna Dawar, Leadership and Human Behavior Expert, The Growth Lab Show

    Executive presence is often misunderstood as confidence, charisma, or polished communication — but in reality, it is a psychological signal. In the first seven seconds of any interaction, people form rapid judgments about your credibility, warmth, leadership potential, and trustworthiness. In this session, Khewna Dawar breaks down the behavioral science behind those split-second impressions and reveals how leaders can intentionally shape the way they show up every day. MORE >

    Drawing from organizational psychology and her work coaching teams and leaders, Khewna exposes the common behaviors that quietly weaken executive presence: inconsistent communication, reactive emotional cues, lack of clarity, and a mismatch between intention and impact. She introduces a practical, evidence-based framework that helps leaders strengthen presence through self-awareness, emotional regulation, and strategic communication — not performative tactics.

    Leaders will leave with actionable tools to elevate how they enter rooms, hold space, communicate under pressure, influence diverse audiences, and build trust across teams. This session is designed for modern leaders who want to move beyond surface-level confidence and build a deeper, more authentic and sustainable form of presence — one that inspires followership, strengthens culture, and amplifies leadership effectiveness.

  • Reach Anyone, Do Anything: The Mindset and Mechanics of Cold Outreach

    Anahita Dalmia, CEO, Alterea Inc.

    Anything you want to achieve, any door you want to open—someone out there already holds the key. The real challenge is finding them, reaching them, and persuading them to unlock it. In today’s digital world, even the busiest leaders and gatekeepers still check their inboxes. With persistence, clarity, and the right technique, cold outreach can turn what feels impossible into a tangible opportunity. MORE >

    I’ve seen this play out firsthand. What is typically a three-month government approval process on SAM.gov, I cut down to just four days by directly emailing every official in the agency until the right person responded. When we needed educators to pilot our program, 500 teachers signed up in a single day—not because of ad spend, but because of carefully crafted outreach that landed in the right inboxes.

    This session will blend mindset with mechanics. We’ll explore why believing that “anyone can be reached” transforms how leaders pursue opportunities, and we’ll get practical: which tools can surface the right contacts, how to design messages that cut through noise, and how to approach outreach as both an art and a science.

    Attendees will leave with more than inspiration. They will gain a concrete playbook for identifying the people who hold the keys to their goals, crafting the messages that earn a response, and building the persistence to keep knocking until the door opens.
