The Wild Leader: Psychology, Faith and Your Whole Life | IMPACT Talk
About This Talk
What can we do to better prepare ourselves as thoughtful and courageous leaders with hearts to serve, a willingness to learn, a capacity to lead at the next level, and a wisdom to discern and provide clarity in these complex times? Answering this question is critical, but it will take a reformation – a radical shift in how we see ourselves and others around us - no matter how wild. In this IMPACT Talk, Dr. McKenna explores the true meaning of calling, and how knowing your calling, purpose, and identity will transform your life and leadership forever.
Named among the top 30 most influential I-O Psychologists, and featured in Forbes, Dr. Rob McKenna is the founder of WiLD Leaders, Inc. and The WiLD Foundation, and creator of the Whole and Intentional Leader Development Toolkit. His TEDx Becoming a Whole Leader in a Broken World is a manifesto on the critical role that developing whole and intentional leaders will play in our future. Dr. McKenna has devoted his life to developing leaders and transforming the way we see the people in our organizations - seeing and developing them as whole. As he will tell you, from nearly four decades of research on how leaders learn and grow on the job, we have what it takes to make a deeply meaningful investment in the current and next generation of leaders. All we have to do is begin to act on what we know. His latest book, Composed: The Heart and Science of Leading Under Pressure, is a rigorous and practical guide to maintaining our composure and presence when it matters most. You can also see his most recent TEDx on this topic, Whole Leaders Under Pressure. Rob and his wife Jackie have two sons and live in Kirkland Washington.
