Mike Lipkin on How To Make People Feel Safe To Be Their Best, Take Bold Risks & Win | NSB Engage Virtual Webinar

Sample takeaways and leadership considerations:

• Creating a Culture of Belonging – Fostering a culture of belonging is essential for boosting motivation and performance, especially in a hybrid reality. Consider the 8 guidelines to foster this sense of belonging: relentless communication, authenticity, mastering virtual technology, storytelling, expressive communication, attentive listening, recovering from mistakes, and treating every interaction as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
  
  Prioritizing belonging helps teams excel under pressure and ensures individuals feel valued and supported when they feel safe to bring their whole selves to the conversation.

• Embrace Challenges for Growth – Every thought and action can change the brain’s physiology over time. In embracing pressure and uncertainty, you ultimately enhance your personal growth and success. Consider the concept of “winning on the brink”: pushing yourself to explore the unknown at the edge of your capacity, viewing pressure as a privilege that builds resilience and muscle.

• Show Up As The Best Version of Yourself – People sense your energy before you even speak. By showing up as your authentic, best self (aka an Authentic Actor)—regardless of your mood or personality—you draw positivity from others rather than pushing them away. How we present ourselves can influence team dynamics and encourage others to engage more fully and take bold risks.

   

With topics centered on cultivating belonging, fostering champion-level communication, and strengthening collaboration, Mike Lipkin’s programs equip leaders to inspire resilience, deepen connections, and amplify team effectiveness—equipping you with insights to elevate your teams in today’s hybrid world.
