Keynote: Leadership Secrets from the Wizard of Oz

Using humorous storytelling and real world examples, Leadership Secrets from the Wizard of Oz focuses on the core
competency possessed by each character in the story and demonstrates its practical application to the HR professional
who wants to positively impact their organization and become the kind of leader people follow by choice. Whether

Oz provides a fresh perspective on maximizing their impact as activist, capability builder, and facilitator of organizational
change. Are you ready to go see the Wizard?
