Thoughtful Crisis Leadership Beyond COVID

COVID has created a crisis environment in global economic security and personal safety never encountered by today’s leaders.

Neither September 11th nor The Great Recession of 2008 compare in depth or scope. For the first time both the global business landscape and social/societal norms have been forever altered.

There will be two groups of leaders emerging after the crisis: Those who proactively took control to build a new foundation of resilience and measurable growth, and those reluctantly dragged into a new business era without plan or clear perspective. Only one of these groups will survive and thrive.

Discussion highlights include:

> OVERCOMING A SCARCITY MINDSET

> MINIMIZING RISK BY TAKING CONTROL OF NARRATIVE

> STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT

> RESOURCE RE-ALLOCATION FOR NEW BUSINESS STRATEGIES

> TRANSITIONING FROM REACTIVE TO PROACTIVE MOMENTUM

> CONFIDENCE IN CRITICAL DECISIONS

> EMOTIONAL RELIEF AND INSPIRATION

Establish Your Legacy

Benefit from the lessons of someone who has worked thousands of hours directly with, advised, coached and mentored some of the highest performing corporate executives, entrepreneurs and change-makers in their respective fields.

Even the highest performing CEOs with a clear long-term vision of the legacy they desire to leave behind – the impact ultimately made on their business, community and the people most important in life – get overwhelmed with commitments that distract and ultimately endanger the prospect of achieving those goals.

From Wall Street to Hollywood to the board rooms of Fortune 100 firms the techniques and processes Damon employs are not academic – they have been tested and validated in action at the highest levels of industry.

Applying the Lessons of Entrepreneurship to Corporate Innovation

“Damon D’Amore has demonstrated his talent as an innovator and entrepreneur.” – Entrepreneur Magazine

Having founded multiple startups in a range of traditional and technology verticals, Damon shares the most valuable lessons he has learned and the systems to implement them to give corporate innovation teams and cultural leaders the same advantages as the ever-expanding, more agile startups in their category.

From C-Suite executives to team leaders and operators, there are many actionable initiatives companies can begin implementing immediately to both realize and monetize his unique knowledge base.

Damon's keynote at our 55th Annual Convention and Trade Show was insightful and thought provoking. His message was well received, informative and honest. The concepts that Damon spoke of challenge the norms and thus provided the audience with very original takeaways.

We really enjoyed Damon's keynote presentation. Stories about Damon's unique personal and professional journey and how they have shaped his view of business are interesting and fun. His insights certainly made all of the C-Suite executives in the organization think about our own journeys and how they shape our future. Also, Damon's discussion regarding how to align your business with your life's goals really made an impact on many of our attendees. They were still talking about Damon's presentation at the end of the conference. Thanks again for an inspiring and motivating presentation.

Damon delivered one of the most talked-about sessions in the seven year history of our conference. His command of subject matter combined with the effort to customize his speech to our audience made him relatable and able to deliver real value that our attendees could apply to their businesses.
