It’s no secret that teams do their best work when they’re supported and motivated. That’s why it’s essential to curate inspiring leaders.

Inspiring leaders create a positive work environment where employees feel energized and appreciated. And when employees feel that their contributions are valued, they’re much more likely to stay committed to an organization’s vision. That translates to higher retention and lower turnover rates — not to mention a more positive reputation in the marketplace.

But with ever-changing economic realities and unexpected turbulence constantly challenging your status quo, how can you ensure you’re cultivating a strong leadership team?

And the bigger question: What must-haves do you need to develop inspirational leaders at your company?

Ben Brooks, Founder & CEO of PILOT, and Sienna Brown, Senior Director of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging at PowerToFly, have the answers for you. Ben and Sienna have impacted hundreds of career success stories through PILOT’s Employee Development program and PowerToFly’s DEIB services. They want to help empower your managers, too!

During a timely, impactful, and interactive (free!) chat, we’ll discuss:

Actionable ways to build a people-first company culture
Strategies to develop managers that culminate and nurture belonging across teams
The impact inspirational leaders can have on employee engagement

We’re excited to take this journey together and help you create an uplifting, caring environment for your people. Questions and participation highly encouraged.

Meet The Speakers

Ben Brooks

Founder & CEO, Pilot

Inspired by his successful business & executive coaching practice, Ben saw an opportunity to democratize executive coaching and founded PILOT.

Previously, Ben held a number of leadership and management roles at Lockheed Martin, Oliver Wyman, and Marsh & McLennan Companies, where his last role was as SVP of HR, where he was named a “rising star” by HR Executive Magazine and later was featured on its cover for his innovative work in human capital. He started his career at Enterprise Rent-a-Car.

In the community, Ben served on the board of directors for OutServe-SLDN, the organization that spearheaded the successful effort to end the Department of Defense's discriminatory Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy, and he co-founded the LGBT employee resource group at his management consulting firm.

He unexpectedly let go of his long-held aspirations to climb the corporate ladder and instead has chosen to fly his own plane. Ben was named one of HR Tech’s top 100 HR Tech Influencers, check it out here.
