Keynote

Leadership in Turbulent Times
Alan J. Parisse, Author and Lecturer, The Parisse Group, Inc.

It is certainly no secret that these are challenging times for state and local governments. Economic stresses, technological advances, and social and political divisions have made it increasingly difficult to deliver on even the basic promises of government.

As challenges compound, the traditional sources of influence available to leaders both public and private have diminished or disappeared. Today’s leaders must master new sources of influence and inspire in new and creative ways.

In these turbulent and difficult times, leaders must embrace the new sources of influence, attack old solutions, challenge moldy wisdom, find opportunity in difficulty, and communicate with conviction.

In this substantive and entertaining presentation, Alan Parisse will arm you with the understanding and tools needed to find set a fresh and fulfilling path to the future.
