Hosted by Achievers

Author and Thought Leader
HR Thought Leader
This engaging, interactive session uses leadership theory, real-life executive case studies, and humor to explore authenticity at work. Not carefully curated #authenticity, rather the gritty authenticity born of imperfect experience that each of us bring to our roles. Sometimes, leaders believe these qualities make them less suited for their role. Author, coach, and leadership expert Danessa Knaupp argues these unique qualities often fuel the strongest leaders and teams.
In this keynote presentation, Knaupp will help you:
- Understand what the research really says about authenticity at work
- Learn the six proven steps leaders use to shed fear and show up as their best authentic selves
- Identify real, immediate action steps you can take to move beyond what’s in your way

Hosted by Avature
Dimitri Boylan
CEO & Founder
Avature
The forces of disruption continue to eat at the very foundation of large global enterprises and digital transformation remains the only known antidote. But, unfortunately, digital transformation is not sold in a bottle. For each company it is a unique experience that needs to be crafted by real people. And that is the big problem. There is no digital transformation without talent transformation, but who is supposed to pull that off?
Boylan will share:
- The game HR needs to play to transform itself just in time to play a strategic role in digital transformation
- Innovation drivers such as agility, assembly and output
- What the modern HR practice might look like if it were to borrow ideas from fast growing software companies and other disruptors
