Keynotes
Keynote #1 Title:
“Are Leaders Born or Made?”
A Lived Leadership™ Riddle
KEYNOTE #1 SYNOPSIS:
One of the most misunderstood dynamics of the development of personal leadership potential is rooted within the question, “Are leaders born or made?”
Although leadership theories used in a lot of leadership coaching indicate that traits of great leaders may appear to be inherent, leadership studies demonstrate that leadership attitudes and behaviors can be both developed and demonstrated.
This highly-engaging keynote presentation challenges leaders and members of teams to refine the personal perspective of how personal leadership potential is conceived versus how it is developed.
Dr. Henry will encourage each participant to analyze and assess their personal leadership identities, while exploring leadership studies and research to grapple with the presentation topic, developing the personal initiative needed for the development of personal leadership potential.

*Speaking engagements are 45-60 minutes, with an optional up-to 30 minutes of Q&A.

Equally, the development of that potential must manifest inwardly and personally before it is demonstrated outwardly and professionally.

Keynote #5 Title:
“Why Didn’t the Horse Drink?”
A Lived Leadership™ Parable
KEYNOTE #5 SYNOPSIS:
“You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink” is a 16th-century English parable that indirectly introduces the most undiscovered elements of leadership.
One of the current hot topics of concern in leadership is how to develop effective strategies to increase buy-in and develop ownership of the vision of the organization from its leaders, team members, and stakeholders. However...
...although the organization’s vision is a statement of its desired future state, its purpose, and its direction, people may not buy into the organization’s vision for various reasons.
Dr. Henry, a thought-provoking leadership keynote speaker, contends that, despite the inherent beauty of any organization’s vision, leaders and team members are critical in manifesting the organization’s vision themselves.
And this interactive keynote presentation challenges leaders and members of teams to look within themselves relative to how they view, engage, and manifest the organization’s vision.
