We’ve been living in a VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) environment, and that was before the pandemic. Today’s environment demands you focus on speed, flexibility, and resilience to lead your team effectively. Overusing traditional leadership skills and failing to balance your teams’ and your personal and businesses’ needs can lead to burnout for all involved.
Learn to cultivate resilient leadership skills to balance your traditional leadership training, remain flexible and results-oriented, and better connect with your team in this new environment.
The call for authentic leaders is louder than ever. But what does that truly mean? Authentic leaders bring their whole selves to work every day, leaning into their values, purpose, and strengths while creating a safe environment to allow their teams to do the same.
This approach demands that leaders dig deep, intentionally working on personal and professional development so that they can be the leader they aspire to become. Learn how to strengthen your leadership skills and support your teams in “Authentic Leadership,” a 30-minute keynote led by Alyssa Gasca of Spark Executive Solutions.
One of the most important emerging leadership skills for leading in this new environment of increased complexity & uncertainty is the ability to unlearn or challenge our automatic responses to leadership challenges and move from a habit based reaction to a thoughtful response. This ability to identify & unlock your leadership “mindtraps” leads to more creativity, flexibility, and better decision making. In this presentation, Alyssa introduces the concept of mindtraps, names the most common ones, and walks through strategies to address them.

Alyssa has been driving organizational change and building high-performing teams for over 20 years. Her experience helping thousands of individuals build their leadership, management, and interpersonal skills across the globe has provided her with the unique ability to realize that traditional leadership training models no longer support growing leaders.
The game has changed, and our leadership styles need to change to meet the new business environment.
"Alyssa's presentation to our annual meeting was both effective and engaging. She has the rare gift of being able to engage the entire org, from executives to front-line employees. That kind of broad content relevance is hard to find, and her delivery is just as approachable. Past speakers have received mixed reviews, but the feedback on Alyssa's talk was enthusiastic. I was especially pleased to see so many hands in the air when she asked listeners to share their takeaways. I fully expect Alyssa to be back behind our podium again soon."
"With event planners going through unprecedented upheaval in their industry, we wanted to provide them with information and resources during the UNTETHERED conference that were both inspiring and actionable. Alyssa’s session on Daring Leadership in Uncertain Times provided attendees with the tools they needed to navigate challenging situations better and advocate for themselves and their teams. If you’re looking for an experienced, impactful speaker and small group facilitator, Alyssa is an excellent choice!"
"I am always in awe of your ability to lead from a vulnerable and powerful place. Your presentation was an incredible experience for our team. Thank you - it was inspiring!"
"We are always eager to find quality development opportunities for our staff and at times struggle to find the right content, but more critically the right facilitator. When I met Alyssa and personally attended her Unlocking Leadership Mind Traps workshop, I knew immediately she was a great fit to present this leading-edge content with my team. I now find our team is more attuned to recognizing the simple stories we often tell ourselves that can be self-limiting and harmful. This knowledge has opened new connections between team members and within the greater context of the organization. I appreciate Alyssa’s people-first approach and willingness to be nimble with the unique needs of her clients. I highly recommend her content and abilities to anyone looking for professional development for their leadership team."
