Workshop & Keynote topics
After a 20-year career working in and managing an actual circus, Hanna Miller created Ringmaster Consulting because she realized that Ringmaster skills are just as relevant in the corporate and nonprofit world as they are under the big top. She works as a collaborator and confidante for senior leaders and their teams, helping individuals develop into extraordinary performers. In addition to her singular circus experience, Hanna has a master’s degree in Leadership and Organizational Development with a focus in executive coaching and is a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach.
*Bonus: As a seasoned performer and experienced event producer, Hanna understands the importance of flow for your event and always ends on time!
Each of these topics are available as a keynote speech, a workshop, or an interactive discussion.
We all play many different roles, and for leaders, it’s not enough to just be able to put on the right “hat” – we must keep all the different parts of ourselves in easy reach, switching roles seamlessly as the situation demands. In this talk, I introduce a model of sustainable challenge to help leaders improve their ability to juggle the myriad hats they wear.
Key points:
Juggling too much is setting yourself up to drop something important. In order to improve your skill and efficiency as a Hat Juggler, you must develop awareness around when you’ve taken on too much.
When we run ourselves into the ground, we need to build in time to recover. We can do this with intention to keep things running smoothly, or we can burn ourselves out to the point where it’s no longer optional. The choice is yours.
We learn best when there is a little friction, and we juggle best when there is just enough going on to require our full attention. Learn to identify your sweet spot and spend more time there.
Each of us has a unique set of gifts that positions us to play a role only we can play. But developing authentic confidence is no small feat! It takes intention and skill to identify and commit to the incorruptible values that will serve you in your leadership journey. In this talk, you’ll learn to identify and align to your fundamental principles, building integrity & credibility as you learn to stand in your unique spotlight.
Key points:
Learn the difference between Bluster (insecurity masquerading as confidence) and Authentic Confidence, which inspires trust and gains followers.
Identify your fundamental principles, which provide a sense of worth, relevance, and purpose and guide you through the difficult decisions you will face as a leader.
Create actions steps to put your learning into practice and start building your integrity and authentic confidence right away.
When we fail to hold others accountable, (even though we mean well!) we deprive our teams of a safe environment, ensure they cannot succeed, and create a toxic culture. Conversely, when we confidently and consistently hold our team accountable, we give them the ability to grow and succeed. In this talk I identify the 3 gifts and provide an actionable guideline to implement them.
The 3 Gifts:
Firm Footing: When folks know where they stand and trust your willingness to hold them accountable, they feel secure and able to trust both you and their colleagues.
Clear Path to Success: When you are clear about what you want and communicate it effectively, you give people the opportunity to pursue excellence in a meaningful way.
Culture of Accountability: When you consistently uphold standards of acceptable behavior, you teach people not just to be accountable for their own actions, but to help each other exceed expectations.
