DESCRIPTION: Regardless of what level or position you hold in an organization, or whether you work outside the home at all, you have an opportunity to demonstrate your leadership abilities. Whether through influence, taking action, or walking your own talk, you are showing the world what type of leader you are -- and the world is watching. Every challenge you face is a chance to grow and assert yourself as a leader. In this inspiring keynote, Marion illustrates through moving stories and anecdotes the key principles that guide leaders. They can guide you too.

In this keynote, you will learn:

• why you're a perfect candidate to be a leader
• the "guiding principles" that make leaders shine
• the secret ingredients to being a great leader
• you have everything you need to be a leader, right here, right now!
• how being a leader impacts others in your life
• why taking responsibility is the key
• to stop complaining, start creating
• the power of empathy
• why vision and action must work together ... and what happens when they don't
• how to "serve up leadership"
• that leadership doesn't end when you leave the office
• why the world needs more leaders

"In whatever direction your life is headed, it's your decisions, risks, and gambles that are leading you there."
Marion Grobb Finkelstein, "Life's a Gamble" chapter from "Power of the Platform: Speakers on Success" book
