Fireside Chat: Leading Meaningful Change through the COVID Crisis w Beverley Patwell and Mark Porter

Join us for a conversation with Beverley Patwell and Mark Porter. Based on Bev’s newly released book called Leading Meaningful Change: Capturing the Hearts, Minds and Souls of the People You Lead, Work With and Serve they will talk about what we can do to lead people through the COVID Crisis and the path to recovery.

This COVID crisis is calling us all to think about how we want to live our lives, and lead, work with and serve others.

Given the complexities of our world, leaders can no longer lead by expertise alone. They must work with and through others, collaborate, and build partnerships both inside their organization and often with external partners, stakeholders and communities. When we get this right, teams can have a positive influence that permeates quickly to other teams, teams of teams, networks, and communities. Teamwork becomes the glue that bonds people together around the shared purpose and collectively engages their hearts, and minds. They reach for and achieve expectations that are far greater than their single contributions. It’s magical.

Unfortunately, building and achieving the benefits of teamwork, collaboration and partnerships is complex. It requires ongoing attention to the interplay of our Use-of-Self as the leader or member of the team, network, or community and your relationships with others to get work done to achieve your shared purpose.

We are delighted to have Mark Porter, Executive Vice President of People and Culture from WestJet Airlines as the host for this fireside chat with Beverley Patwell, President of Patwell Consulting Inc.
