Lead From Any Position
Launching January 1
Lead From Any Position
The highest-performing organizations don’t rely on a handful of great leaders. They build cultures where people at every level think, act, and perform like leaders.
Paul Epstein learned this firsthand during his 15-year career as an executive in the NFL and NBA. While with the San Francisco 49ers, he founded the organization’s Leadership University, an initiative designed to develop leaders throughout the organization and ultimately evolved into a year-round talent academy.
In this high-energy keynote, Paul takes audiences behind the scenes of that experience and shares the leadership principles that translate from professional sports to any organization competing for talent, performance, and growth.
His framework is simple, actionable, and built to scale:
LEAD SELF: Great leadership starts in the mirror. Take ownership of your mindset, decisions, energy, accountability, and impact.
LEAD OTHERS: Leadership is a relationship. Build trust, strengthen connection, and learn to influence in every direction: up, down, and across.
LEAD FORWARD: Leadership creates what comes next. Connect purpose to performance and create the standards and culture that allow excellence to scale.
Because the answer isn’t asking a few great leaders to carry more of the load…it’s building more leaders.
Leadership doesn’t start with a title. It starts in the mirror, and then it scales.
Participants will learn how to:
- Lead themselves first by adopting a CEO mentality built on ownership, accountability, awareness, and intentional action.
- Increase their leadership EQ to better understand themselves, others, and the situations they face.
- Lead in every direction and increase their influence with peers, managers, direct reports, and cross-functional partners.
- Build trust and connection that strengthen collaboration, engagement, and team performance.
- Connect purpose to performance by translating the bigger mission into everyday decisions, behaviors, and results.
- Create a culture of leadership and excellence where more people take ownership, step up, and perform at their best.
