Session 1

Do the leaders in your organization feel pressure to achieve more and more with the same team size? Concerned about who will lead your teams in the future?

Many leaders unknowingly develop habits that hinder their team's performance. Conversely, effective leaders adopt practices that significantly enhance their team's capabilities, often achieving up to twice the results. In this session, you'll assess various leadership styles to identify both the behaviors that boost team productivity and those that obstruct progress. Through this facilitated discussion, you will gain actionable relationship management and consultation strategies to use with your management team to unlock the full potential of your employees and drive exceptional results.


Participants will:
  • How to identify detrimental leadership habits that can unintentionally limit a team's output
  • Strategies that enhance team capacity and performance and why they work
  • Practical solutions to add to the leadership practices in your organization

 

  

Session 2

In Jonathan’s keynote, “Human Connection: The Competitive Edge in an AI-Driven World,” he will explore how leaders can embrace AI’s potential while preserving the irreplaceable qualities of human connection—authenticity, empathy, and care. As AI reshapes HR, Jonathan will offer insights on integrating technology in ways that enhance, rather than replace, human interactions, aligning with GMA SHRM’s vision for inclusive, connected, and people-centered leadership.

This engaging keynote will equip GMA SHRM Conference attendees with strategies to leverage both AI and human connection, securing a competitive edge in a world where technology alone cannot replace the value of authentic leadership.

Participants will learn:

  • AI AS AN ENHANCER, NOT A REPLACEMENT:
    Recognize where AI can improve efficiency and scale while reinforcing the importance of human-led interactions for building trust and loyalty.
  • HUMAN CONNECTION AS A CORE LEADERSHIP ASSET:
    Understand how empathy and authenticity set leaders and organizations apart in a tech-driven world, creating environments where employees and customers feel valued.
  • FUTURE-PROOFING THROUGH BALANCE:
    Gain actionable insights for developing a hybrid model that leverages AI’s capabilities while making space for meaningful human connection—securing a competitive edge that technology alone can’t achieve.
