Join us as Daniel "Danny" Olmes, accomplished business leader and author of "Memoirs of an Ordinary Guy: The Everyday Experiences That Changed My Life" (Post Hill Press, 2023), shares his down-to-earth wisdom on striking a balance between compassionate leadership and maximizing team performance, while also becoming invaluable leaders (resources) to their companies and organizations.


In the world of leadership, where managing people is often seen as one of the most demanding roles, Danny brings a warm and relatable perspective. He believes that "the hardest job in the world is managing people; the 2nd hardest is teaching people", and he's here to help leaders navigate both.


Through storytelling and relatable anecdotes, Danny will explore the nuances of leadership, emphasizing the importance of empathy and understanding in driving team success. But he'll also touch on how leaders can go beyond their traditional functions to become invaluable resources that get the proverbial seat at the table!


Throughout this presentation, you'll discover:

  • How to walk the fine line between empathy and accountability, creating a culture of trust and support.
  • Effective communication strategies that inspire and empower your workforce, making HR a bridge between leadership and employees.
  • The value of continuous learning and adaptability in today's ever-changing work environment, positioning HR as a dynamic and forward-thinking function.

Danny will share personal experiences, practical tips, and proven strategies, making complex leadership concepts accessible to all. Following the presentation, there will be time to ask questions, providing leaders with the opportunity to connect directly with Danny and discuss specific challenges and solutions relevant to their roles as invaluable resources within their organizations.


This friendly and enlightening presentation will explore how leaders can lead with empathy, unlock their teams' full potential, and simultaneously become indispensable partners in driving their companies' success. Danny will leave you inspired and equipped with the tools to excel in the world of HR leadership while making a lasting impact on your organization as a whole.
