021. Gear Up for Greatness: Rebuilding Culture One Leader at a Time
Instructor: Lisa Ryan, CSP
1:30 pm - 4:00 pm
You can’t outsource culture, and you can’t fix what you haven’t named. In this energizing, story-driven session, Lisa Ryan introduces the Six Gears of Grategy®, a practical, people-first framework designed to help distribution leaders build a culture their employees won’t want to leave. This session isn’t about theory. It’s a clear system that breaks culture down into six actionable areas: Attitude, Appreciation, Access, Acts of Service, Applause, and Accountability. Through real-world stories, hands-on exercises, and facilitated discussion, participants will identify what gear they need to shift; and what’s grinding employee morale to a halt. Whether you’re a new manager or seasoned leader, this workshop will help you recalibrate how you lead, how your team feels, and how your culture performs.

Rapid Teamwork
Sean Glaze
In modern organizations, there seems to be a revolving door of new projects and new teammates. The challenge is seldom about strategy. Leaders struggle because they don’t have a process for bringing diverse individuals together as a collaborative team.
Rapid Teamwork tells the story of Greg Sharpe, a manager whose team has been underachieving and struggling with a few issues.
What he and his executive team experience during an unusual rafting retreat is a lesson on how to become a more productive team quickly – creating a more unified workforce.
