Virtual Seminar: Creating Transformational Change
2021-01-21 09:00 - 16:00 (America/Chicago) | TX
﻿﻿
Calling all leaders of change efforts. Why are only a quarter of all change management efforts successful? Is it our strategies and processes? Or is it how well people understood the issues, agreed with decisions, and ultimately felt inspired? Both? There is no shortage of change on the horizon, and leadership alignment to navigate is a significant ingredient to successful transformation. When we are aligned together, great things happen. When alignment falls short, change efforts fail, people feel disgruntled, and talent leaves (or burns out and stays, which becomes a potentially larger burden). Transformational change through leadership alignment catalyzes our organizations in not only surviving transitions but using change opportunities to transform into something even better than before. So, how do we achieve alignment to truly transform?
This experiential workshop led by industry experts, Laurie Hall, Owner of New Horizon Strategies, LLC and Kelly Baughman, Leadership and Cultural Transformation Consultant, will facilitate participants through the distinguishing concepts of leadership alignment for transformational change in a highly participatory format. Come prepared to explore what it takes, and discover what might be holding you back from achieving Transformational Change with your teams. Are you ready?
REGISTRATION AND PAYMENT IN ADVANCE REQUIRED: https://www.hrhouston.org/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=1397976&group=
*The workshop offers 6 PDCs for the SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP and 6 hours of Business credit towards PHR and SPHR recertification requirements.

These are highly unusual times. We’ve navigated a change that feels unprecedented for most of us. How are you leading yourself and others? The only thing we know for sure is we will see more change. It’s not about time management; it’s energy management.
Join former NASA colleague Laurie Hall, now founder, coach, consultant, and facilitator of New Horizon Strategies, LLC as she gives us a chance to analyze the unique impact(s) of the last 2 months. In this interactive and educational experience, she will provide tools, references, stories, and opportunities for you to examine your own ability to successfully navigate change.

Thursday, May 14th, 2020: "Breaking the Ice of Nice™" at the Gulf Coast Symposium on HR Issues
2020-05-14 08:00 - 17:00 UTC | Reliant Center, Houston, TX, United States
Join us for “Breaking the Ice of Nice™” at both 7:30AM and 8:45AM on Thursday May 14th. This is our 6th year to present engaging, inspiring, and high impact topics you can take back to your organizations to apply right away!
Many leaders tell us their organizations are pretty good, but a little too nice. When we avoid having tough conversations because we don’t want to hurt peoples’ feelings, are we effectively communicating? The answer is no! Dr. Brene Brown’s research around Daring Leaders shows the number one barrier to braver leaders is the lack of courage to have tough conversations. What would happen if leaders replaced being nice with being more courageous? What impact could this have with teams, with organizations, and with customers? Laurie is a “Dare to Lead” certified facilitator.

March 6th, 2020: New Horizon Strategies Keynote at the GHSHRM Education Day 2020
2020-03-06 08:00 - 17:00 UTC | Greater Houston Society for Healthcare Risk Management
Join us for the kick off keynote
“What a Can’t Fail Culture Costs your Bottom Line”
at the 2020 Greater Houston Society of Healthcare Risk Management (GHSHRM) Education Day conference on March 6th, 2020 at The Houstonian hotel.

“We do things right and we do things well.” Would you say this describes your organization? Hopefully it does! Read the values, vision, or guiding principles of most organizations and you’ll find some form of this description centered on the quality and integrity of the service or product being delivered. In juxtaposition then, for most organizations the word fail brings about an instantaneous reaction of something to avoid. Innovation and Integrity can be competing values. Though we may logically understand that trying anything for the first time will inherently provide the opportunity to succeed or fail, emotionally and culturally we are not okay with actually failing. The extent to which your organization promotes or chastises failure is in direct correlation with innovation, creativity, trust, collaboration, growth, and resiliency.
Objective 1: Gain qualitative awareness of failure resiliency both personally and as perceived within your organization.
Objective 2: Understand the foundation formula for creating and sustaining a culture of innovation.
Objective 3: Increase organizational awareness following the presentation with a checklist of scenarios and keywords that help define missed opportunities for innovation.

Jan 10th, 2020: "Breaking the Ice of Nice™" at the Gulf Coast Chapter of Women Leading Government 2020 Leadership Conference
2020-01-10 08:00 - 15:30 UTC | TX
Want to be a more effective leader? If yes, please join us for an in depth focus on “Breaking the Ice of Nice™”, a day-long Leadership Conference for the Gulf Coast Chapter of Women Leading Government on January 10th, 2020, at the Stafford Center in Stafford, Texas.
Breaking the Ice of Nice™ includes:

An opportunity for attendees to get to know each other better and have fun (create joy) in a face-to-face environment.
Building a container of safety to encourage participants to share wants, needs, opportunities, and obstacles openly.
An overview and exercise on our own unique Calls to Courage (individual and group).
Procession to a significant awareness increase on effective communication and feedback using “Breaking the Ice of Nice™” around concepts in Dare to Lead™. Participants will use their own Calls to Courage to determine stakeholders for their calls, consider steps to make their calls a reality, and simulate taking that first step (most likely a communication with someone else.)
A review of feedback from various perspectives: why it’s difficult to give, why it’s difficult to get, what type of feedback culture we want, what type of feedback culture we have, and tips for giving/receiving feedback and a simple feedback model. Participants will have an opportunity to practice giving feedback to each other during the conference.

Nov 20th, 2019: Hear "Breaking the Ice of Nice" at HR in your Neighborhood (Inner Loop)
2019-11-20 11:30 - 13:00 UTC | Location: McCoy Workplace Solutions, 6869 Old Katy Road, Houston, TX 77024
Based on overwhelmingly positive reviews from our presentation at the 2019 Gulf Coast Symposium on Human Resources, an encore presentation will be given!
Join us for “Breaking the Ice of Nice™” with Laurie Hall, MSc, PCC of New Horizon Strategies, LLC. As a “Dare to Lead™” certified facilitator, Laurie bases this presentation on Dr. Brené Brown’s recent best-selling book of same title. In the presentation, you’ll explore how to hone your communication effectiveness by determining your unique Call to Courage. The gem of the presentation is a discussion of the fears and needs linked to giving and receiving feedback — and a specific tool to use going forward. Are you ready to Break the Ice of Nice?
Many leaders tell us their organizations are pretty good, but a little too nice. If we’re avoiding having tough conversations because we don’t want to hurt people’s feelings, how are we effectively communicating? The answer is we aren’t! Dr. Brené Brown’s research around Daring Leaders shows the number one barrier to braver leaders is the lack of courage to have tough conversations.
What would happen if leaders replaced being nice with being more courageous? What impact could this have with your team, with your organization, with your customers? Your first reaction may logically be, “let’s do it!”, but emotionally, we are reminded of the many ways courageous conversations have turned out badly for us in the past. This presentation will help process the fears and feelings associated with saying what needs to be said aware of the fear but more motivated by potential positive outcomes of sharing what we really, really want with the world.

Nov 19th, 2019: "Being Vulnerable is a Key to Innovation" at the Animal Welfare Advancement Fall Conference

Join us on Tuesday, Nov 19th for the Kick Off Keynote at 2:00 – 3:15PM for “Being Vulnerable is a Key to Innovation”.
“We do things right and we do things well.” Would you say this describes your organization? Hopefully it does! Read the values,
vision, or guiding principles of most organizations and you’ll find some form of this description centered on the quality and integrity
of the service or product being delivered. In juxtaposition, for most organizations the word “fail” brings about an instantaneous reaction of “something to avoid”.
Innovation and integrity can be competing values. Though we may logically understand that trying anything for the first time will inherently provide the opportunity to succeed or fail, emotionally and culturally we are not okay with actually failing. The extent to which your organization promotes or chastises failure is in direct correlation with innovation, creativity, trust, collaboration, growth, and resiliency.
This riveting presentation is based in part on Dr. Brené Brown’s Dare to Lead™ concepts. You’ll gain qualitative awareness of failure resiliency, both personally and as perceived within your organization. Laurie will share the formula for creating and sustaining a culture of innovation to increase organizational awareness, plus a checklist of scenarios and keywords that help define missed opportunities for innovation.

There is no shortage of change on the horizon, and leadership alignment to navigate all that change is a significant ingredient to successful endeavors. Leadership is a critical piece of our talent performance as well as the driving factor in strategically utilizing talent in organizations. When we are aligned, great things can happen. When alignment falls short…we’ve seen that show. Change fails, people feel disgruntled, talent leaves.

"What a Can't Fail Culture Costs your Bottom Line" workshop and general meeting for HODN
2017-03-01 13:00 - 20:00 UTC | United Way, 50 Waugh Drive, Houston, TX, 77007, United States
Join friends, clients, and colleagues for both a workshop and dinner meeting sponsored by the Houston Organizational Development Network (HODN) on March 1st at the United Way of Houston.
HODN’s much anticipated spring workshop will focus on the research of Dr. Brené Brown and what a “Can’t Fail Culture Costs Your Bottom Line”. Guest speaker Laurie Hall is a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator & Consultant (CDWF-C). The Daring Way™ was developed to help people learn how to show up, be seen, and live braver lives with a focus on developing shame resilience skills and developing a courage practice that transforms the way we live, love, parent, and lead. The HODN’s workshop will focus on how The Daring Way can be applied to organizational cultures, while still based on the foundation of individual resilience. This is a hands on, four hour workshop from 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm. If you can’t make the workshop, you can still join us for a brief overview of the concepts in our regular HODN March Meeting in the evening from 6:00 – 8:00 pm.

Event Description: How do people in your organization talk about a past business failures of a team member or the organization itself? Are there hushed whispers and an urge to “not mention it”? Or is failure an accepted part of going for big opportunities? Did you know that the extent to which your organization promotes or chastises failure directly correlates to your organization’s ability to innovate, trust, and be resilient in ever-changing times? Come to our March workshop to learn strategies based on Dr. Brené Brown’s Daring WayTM research. Learn how your organization can transform into a culture of innovation based on a foundation of trust and vulnerability. This workshop will cover the following objectives: 1) Gain qualitative awareness of failure resiliency; 2) Understand the foundation formula for creating and sustaining a culture of innovation; and 3) Increase organizational awareness with a checklist of scenarios and keywords that help define missed opportunities for innovation.

Gulf Coast Symposium on HR Issues
2016-05-11 - 2016-05-13 | NRG Center, Houston, TX, United States
Session title: What a “Can’t Fail” Culture Costs Your Bottom Line

Date: Friday, May 13, 2016
Time: 3–4 p.m.
Place: Room 604

Presenter: Laurie Peterson, founder, New Horizon Strategies

Description: “We do things right and we do things well.” Guiding principles of all organizations center on the quality and integrity of the service or product being delivered. In contrast then, for most organizations, the word “fail” brings about an instantaneous reaction of “something to avoid.” The extent your organization promotes or chastises failure is in direct correlation with innovation, creativity, trust, collaboration, growth and resiliency.
