The audience steps into Dr. Indigo’s world and walks away with an understanding on how to develop and manage their career for sustainable success leaving feeling empowered with a renewed sense of purpose and direction.

Great Leadership is Not an Accident

Success in warfare, chess, politics, sport, or business, and the success of individuals and organizations is seldom the outcome of a purely random process. No matter what the game, success is usually planned for and expected. In the same light it is crucial for success-oriented professionals to develop and manage their leadership journey with a career strategy and an expectation of positive results.

During this intimate and interactive session with renowned speaker, author and career success expert, Dr. Indigo, you will explore the “how to” of navigating the high seas of organizations and managing your career path as a career strategy. Integrating technology and the strategies she shares in her book series Playing by the Unwritten Rules, Dr. Indigo polls the audience about critical leadership issues, forces them to assess where they are in their own careers and forces them to take a look at how their strategy – or lack of one – has affected their career movement. Using this live feedback she creates an understanding and facilitates a customized pathway to strategically manage and develop a career that moves forward with purpose. You’ll walk away with a clear sense of who you are, what is important to you, your own leadership assets and how you can best contribute at work and to your legacy. Dr. Indigo will help you discover a process, a path and a career strategy for winning the game.

Participants will walk away armed with strategies for:

Dealing with the pressures of being successful beyond your family and peers
Creating a winning team by ‘Being the Best of the Best’
Developing a ‘legacy’ for sustainable success
Playing by the Unwritten Rules without selling your soul
