Speaker: Dima Ghawi, “Elevate Your Business: Engage Your Team and Patients”
Through keynote speeches, workshops, and executive coaching, Dima shares her unique leadership journey with one goal in mind: motivate and activate those around her to reimagine their potential and grow into leaders. Dima draws from two decades of corporate experience leading global teams and developing future leaders worldwide. She has worked across the United States, Europe, Asia, Middle East, and Africa for several Fortune 100 companies including IBM, Merrill Lynch, and Intuit. She has honed a keen expertise in developing leaders to meet the demands of the global workforce.
In addition to her global empowerment work, Dima serves on numerous nonprofit boards. She has been recognized for her services with the 2014 President of the United States Bronze Volunteer Service Award, the 2014 Baton Rouge Business Report’s “Forty Under 40” Award, and the 2016 Louisiana State University “Esprit de Femme Award.” She has been featured in numerous publications for her professional and philanthropic work.
Course Description: Through Dima’s presentation, you will get a taste of three great topics and be able to take the information from each back to your components. First, the presentation places an emphasis on fostering a productive and rewarding work environment and connecting employees with their strengths and career aspirations. You will be empowered to take action and create a positive company culture that results in lower employee turnover, improved quality of work, better overall morale, and positive results for the company’s bottom line.
Next, you will explore the keys to unlocking the millennial mind in order to better engage them in the workplace, give them the purpose they crave in their work, and inspire them to overachieve. You will be guided through a shift in perception that is essential in order to prepare companies for Gen Z. By bridging the disconnect between generations, companies will be able to harness the creative and innovative talents of their employees while keeping them dedicated to the company’s mission.
And lastly, you will elevate your professional brand by looking at three elements:
- Inward - understanding the strengths you have to offer.
- Outward - projecting a positive personal and online presence.
- Onward - using your internal and external brand to reach your goals.
Course Objectives - Upon completion of this course, attendees will:
- Know how to communicate more effectively within their business and the association.
- Be able to elevate their professional brand by using communication skills.
- Know how to elevate employee engagement.
- Know how to future proof their company: engaging Gen Y to Z.
