Cy Wakeman

President/CEO/Author

Reality Based Leadership

Topic: Drama and Engagement
in the Workplace –

Our guest will be Cy Wakeman. Cy is a national keynote speaker advocating a revolutionary new approach to leadership. She has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The New York Post, and SHRM.com.

Cy will be talking about her book Reality-Based leadership-Ditch the Drama, Restore Sanity to the Workplace & Turn Excuses into Results. She discusses how we have been in challenging times in the past and we will be faced with challenging times again at some point in the future. The fact that times are challenging is not the source of our pain.
The source of our pain is the absence of great leadership based in reality. These times are calling for a new type of leader. We need leaders who are willing and able to recreate mindsets (their own and the mindsets of others) in order to change circumstances and lead in a new and revolutionary way.

Cy was honored this year in Mumbai, India where she was awarded the prestigious World HRD Congress Outstanding Leadership Award for her achievements as a global thought leader in 2012.
