Dr. Conrad helps unlock the mystery of human performance, leading to sustained improvement in:

Beyond Resilience: Gaining and Maintaining Momentum after Dramatic Change
Resilience is the ability to recover quickly from difficult circumstances. Dr. Conrad knows a lot about difficult circumstances. He grew up in public housing in East St. Louis, Illinois, a place once described as America's most distressed small city. He credits emotional intelligence for his ability to turn that misfortune into a source of motivation.
More than enabling them to recover after setbacks, Dr. Conrad will help your audiences turn the roadblocks in their lives into bridges to personal and professional success.
The 10 Most Common Reasons Diversity Efforts Fail
Demographics shifts in age, gender, race, religion, nationality, sexual orientation and ethnicity are presenting organizational leaders with challenges and opportunities that many are not equipped to manage effectively--but effectively manage they must. Unfortunately, too many diversity efforts fall well short of their desired outcomes.
Incorporating what science tells us about human behavior, Dr. Conrad will uncover how to avoid the most common flaws of diversity programs so that organizations can build high-performing inclusive organizations.
Just Like Fine Wine: Cultural Emotional Intelligence (CEI)
Organizations will not survive in the global marketplace unless they proactively value the unique attributes each of their employees bring to the table. Dr. Conrad offers a unique approach to building inclusive organizations, CEI. CEI is the ability to recognize and manage one's emotions while simultaneously understanding and responding to the emotions of others when confronting cultural differences.
Just as one might develop an expertise regarding fine wines, Dr. Conrad will teach you how to become a "cultural connoisseur."
The Powerful, Yet Fragile Mind: Persistent Traumatic Stress in America’s Urban Battlefields
Nearly forty-five years after the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, racial disparities in education, employment, income, wealth, healthcare, housing, and incarceration seriously threaten America’s global competitiveness.
Dr. Conrad identifies persistent traumatic stress as a significant part of the problem. He warns that persistent traumatic stress disorder is a hidden mental health crises that viciously assaults the hope of poor people in inner cities across America.
(For Coaches and Athletes)
Emotional Intelligence (EI): Fueling Success On and Off the Field
At first glance, it is surprising to learn that many athletes, like so many lottery winners and entertainers, ultimately end up destitute. Others are consistently embroiled in legal woes. Careful study reveals that this phenomenon is actually predictable given what science tells us about human behavior, particularly EI. EI, the ability to recognize and manage one's emotions while simultaneously understanding and responding to the emotions of others, is not only an essential skill for off the field, it can enhance athletic performance.
Dr. Conrad will demonstrate how intellectual, social and emotional skills merge to help athletes and coaches navigate challenges on and off the playing field. |
