Achieve Optimal Outcomes - For All Leaders

When faced with conflict, most people try to calmly talk through differences…and fail. But what if instead of resolving conflicts, you could simply free yourself of them?

Drawing on research and themes from her forthcoming book, OPTIMAL OUTCOMES: Free Yourself from Conflict at Work, at Home, and in Life (HarperBusiness, February 25, 2020), Dr. Jennifer Goldman-Wetzler inspires leaders and their teams to free themselves from the common patterns that hold teams back, and to achieve optimal outcomes instead. By learning how to increase clarity and complexity, turn challenging emotions from a liability into an asset, and acknowledge both ideal values (proudly held) and shadow values (hard to admit, even to ourselves), individuals and teams leave empowered to address a host of situations they face every day with newfound freedom and ease.

Using engaging examples that all leaders can relate to, Goldman-Wetzler equips audiences with the mindsets and practices they need to achieve optimal outcomes—and to lead the way for others to do the same.

Beyond Speaking

Complexity and conflict can be opportunities for positive change and growth.

The larger and more complex your organization, the greater the opportunity for collaboration…and for conflict. When you and others are well-equipped to deal with this complexity, you are more likely to foster the collaboration, productive dialogue and inspiring leadership needed to succeed. Jennifer and her colleagues at Alignment Strategies Group produce meaningful, measurable results.
