DR. JOHN IZZO - SPEAKER

Stepping Up: Inspiring Performance and Engagement

This inspiring talk shows what happens when individuals decide to be “agents of change” in both work and society. Pushing beyond limits requires each one of us to step up and be even stronger agents of change in our workplaces, communities and personal lives. Based on his bestselling book, Stepping Up—How Taking Responsibility Changes Everything, Dr. Izzo will challenge you to see yourselves as people of influence. Through engaging stories of individuals and groups that created change in business and society, he will help us understand why some people push the limits of their influence and how we can grow ours. He will also show the power of personal responsibility in our personal lives and careers.

You will:

• Hear unique inspiring stories of people who stepped up to create change;

• Discover the secrets of people who have great influence and how to become one of those people;

• See how personal responsibility can change your personal lives, your relationships and the world.
