Every day, your frontline teams are out there engaging with members - seeing their behaviors, fielding their challenges, discovering opportunities for new connections. Yet, they are often overlooked as innovators, leaving a massive arsenal of innovation and opportunity untapped. In this high-energy, interactive session, Tamara will show leaders how to turn their front-line teams into high-performing Everyday Innovators. Learn how to build a team of stronger critical thinkers and creative problem solvers who drive more meaningful on-the-spot solutions for customers, and bring back ideas and opportunities that move the organization forward. Ignite innovation where it matters most, out there in the marketplace with the guardians of your brand. By combining her 25 years of business experience with neuroscience, brain mechanics, and behavioral psychology, Tamara has made innovation tangible and accessible to all of us. Her proprietary assessment, The Innovation Quotient Edge, shows individuals the keys to unlock their innovative minds so they can perform at their peak, create breakthrough outcomes, and project a stronger, more valued voice in the world. In this highly interactive session, Tamara will show each person in the audience how to harness their greatest competitive advantage - their unique Everyday Innovator styles - to harness innovation at all levels, especially on the front-lines.
