I love to dance! In addition to being a fun ftness option, I have always found that the “best practices” of leading and
following in partner dancing are similar to best practices of leading and following in organizations. Stay connected,
maintain your frame, creating a shared vision, being clear when leading new moves and other concepts are
important in both social dancing and organizational leadership. Come to this session to explore the metaphor of
leadership on the Dance Floor and organizational leadership.
Participants will beneft from this workshop as they:
• Consider the health-protective elements of social dance.
• Explore the metaphor of the “dance foor” in organizational relationships.
• Integrate social dance elements/best practices into one’s leadership style.
• Consider social “partner dance”as a personal wellness option.
• Identify best practices in video “dance” leadership demonstrations.

Organizational change is about culture change. Culture change is some of the most challenging and diffcult change
there is. Moreover, changing an organization’s culture takes signifcantly more time than most people expect which
can add to the frustration and create organizational anxiety. Where do you begin? You begin with reexamining and
changing the core values of the organization. A revised set of core values, describing the new direction of the
organization, can become a powerful force that pulls the organization forward.
The attendees will beneft by:
• Understanding the challenges of culture change.
• Gaining knowledge about the role core values play in creating change
• Building familiarity with the process of core value defnitions
• Exploring a model that can facilitate the change process
• Listening to an organizational leader who has facilitated a values-driven change process.
