The Power of Taking A Stand

Keynote Address: The Power of Taking A Stand

“Lynne Twist has the gifts of eloquence and substance. She was able to combine rich and valuable content with an engaging and enjoyable approach. This created an experience that was deeply moving and packed with useful wisdom and practical advice.”
- Marilyn L.

Great leaders, like Jane Goodall and Nelson Mandela, derive their power from taking a stand. They know the distinction between taking a position and taking a stand. Taking a position, or having a “point of view,” forces us to take sides and argue for or against. It gets us going, but rarely has a lasting influence. Taking a stand opens up new visions and possibilities, and adversarial feelings begin to dissolve. It is a way of living and being that strengthens our capacity to make a difference.

You don’t have to be a Gandhi to make a difference in your job, in your company, in other important places in your life. We all have a stand inside of us waiting to be expressed, and when we are in touch with that place, we become more fully ourselves.

In this keynote, Lynne Twist shares the astounding results of the stands that she and other everyday heroes have taken. You will learn that without changing careers or revolutionizing your business, taking a stand:

• Empowers you to move to a new level of leadership — in your community, job, company, or industry
• Enables you to realize your vision
• Accomplishes real change and lasting solutions

Lynne will help you understand how taking a stand gives us greater clarity and a broader capacity to see the potential in other people and in any situation. It allows us to gain access to previously unknown inner and outer resources.

Ultimately, we become better managers, better leaders, and better people.
