Do it well and you’ll reap the rewards many times over while forming new connections, gaining greater knowledge, and helping others.

Internally:

• Identify the areas of your organization that you curious about and lacking in knowledge and reach out to select leaders to build relationships there
• Look for opportunities to collaborate on initiatives cross-functionally and bring your team along with you in the effort
• See the bigger picture and help out your peers even when there is no immediate gain for you, particularly when there is no immediate gain

Externally:

• Seek opportunities to increase visibility within your industry and outside it; consider speaking at conferences, sitting on panel discussions, or simply attending more events that are of interest
• Pick a Board, organization, or association where you’d like to learn and contribute and then focus on doing that; choose something meaningful
• Make spontaneous connections for people in your network whom you think should know one another; there need not be an explicit reason other than you think both would welcome the introduction and benefit

NEW!  We’ve just released a brand new keynote on Anticipatory Initiative for 2025, and it is among the most popular.  (#2 is Prudent Leadership: Building a Self-Correcting Team® and #3 is Magnificent Leadership.®)  I don’t know a senior leader or executive team that doesn’t want to stay ahead of the curve, particularly during uncertainty, and this keynote outlines the practical, actionable steps to getting your team more on point than ever.  It also outlines the most common obstacles and how to overcome them.  For booking information, email me directly: sarah@sarah-levitt.com  I’ve spoken everywhere from Harvard’s Kennedy School to Blue Cross and Blue Shield to the American Bankers Association to Women in Cable Television to BASF to Caterpillar (you get the idea), from intimate-size senior executive events, to leadership off sites, to association conferences.  Audiences describes me as engaging, real, and providing actionable strategies that make an immediate difference.  There are 2 keynote spots remaining for 2025.
