Authentic Leadership

It’s About PRESENCE, Not Position

True leadership comes from the identity and integrity of the leader. It’s about who you are and how you live. It’s about PRESENCE, not position. The power of authenticity is an enduring approach for renewing and sustaining workplaces that are depleted and where the human spirit is trampled, overworked, and undervalued. Now more than ever, the world needs leaders who are committed to substance over the superficial, character over charisma, and service over self-interest. We need authentic leaders –– people whose inner compass guides their daily actions and who inspire trust.

  • Gain a renewed perspective on leadership that can be applied to all aspects of your life.
  • Learn the difference between a boss and a leader and what it takes to earn the right to be called a leader
  • Discover the true source of leadership power – your authentic presence – and how to connect more deeply with it.
  • Acquire the missing link to sustained talent engagement and retention.
  • Discover the key to build resilience and strong mental health in the midst of disruption and uncertainty.
  • Learn a coach-approach to leadership: create a safe space to grow; persuade with trust; communicate with influence; build a uniquely tailored, inspiring growth plan with your team; set your team up for success.

This session is also available as a virtual presentation.

ATTENDEES SAY IT BEST:

“If I could score David Irvine an 11 on a scale of 10, I would. He is a genuinely remarkable speaker and person. His material is relevant, and the delivery is just at the right pace. He took this conference to a whole new level. It was my honour to have met and learned so much from him.“ – Matthew Ng, P.Eng., MBA, FEC, PMP, Manager, Chapters, Professional Engineers Ontario

“Your presentation was the best part of the meetings. You blew everybody away. The Commissioner and others referred to many of your comments and quotes throughout the rest of our meetings. Someone once said the height of praise is to be quoted or copied. You certainly have the praise of the Senior Management Team of the RCMP.” – R.R. (Rod) Knecht, Former Edmonton Chief of Police

“David’s work has always resonated with me, particularly his insights into authentic leadership. It’s only through deep self-awareness that we can begin the journey to true leadership and be the kind of leader that people are willing to follow. His work and friendship have had an impact on my life.” – Tim O’Connor, CEO, Results Canada
