In her topic, she shares that our views on adversity and stress determine whether or not we will overcome and find a way to succeed. Furthermore, she breaks down the three essential elements and four habits characteristic of resilient leaders.
2. Foster and leverage your unique personal brand with these three tried and true strategies
Have you narrowed down what sets your personal brand apart from the rest? You might be competing with thousands or millions of other people in your line of business, but your personality and overall image has the capability to distinguish you as a go-to product or service.
In her summer lunchtime session, TEDx Speaker, Mindset & Brand Coach, and Amazon #1 Best Selling Author Victoria Baylor uncovered 3 strategies on how to use your personal brand more effectively to attract the visibility, clients, and revenue you desire.

4. Work more effectively by learning how to prioritize your workload and stay on the same page as your team
Last fall, David Harper who is the owner and Managing Principal of The Advisory Alliance, taught us that appearances may be deceiving. From how we prioritize our workload to the setup of our organization, what a leader may feel is the right next step or decision could be wrong if it’s not rooted in what is actually proven to work. David taught us how to determine if something is urgent and important vs. important, but not urgent. He also shared how to manage teams, get feedback on what’s working in your company vs. what is not, and make sure everyone is working towards the same goal.
Over the last 17 years, David and The Advisory Alliance have worked with regional, national, and international clients, advising and coaching numerous leaders in a wide cross‐section of industries, companies, and organizations.
5. Improve your productivity by improving your sleep cycle
Around 2:00pm in the afternoon, do you find yourself getting sleepy? You’re not alone! Many people hit a “dip” or that feeling of needing a nap at some point in our day. Understanding your circadian rhythms and when your personal circadian low (or your deep sleep time) typically occurs, will help you schedule your work day.
