Leadership Series (Led by Deviate)
Presented by:
Topic: Living and Leading with Intention
The difference between activity and productivity is intention. We'll show you how to use your guiding compass, your values, as a North Star to intentionally grow yourself and your community to enjoy success and fulfillment at a whole new level.
Amanda Blanck
Managing Partner
Deviate
www.offtrackonpurpose.com |  
Amanda Blanck hacks the dysfunction that plagues teams, repositioning them with strategic communicationat the forefront. Her innate ability to cut through to what matters to — and what hinders — her clients makes her a potent force in leadership development. Her blazing curiosity and insightful connections draw out from hiding the confident and clear leaders that exist within us all. It's a skill set she identified early in her career through over 1,000 accredited hours of performance coaching, 200 hours leading retreats, and numerous workshops. Amanda is known for her innovative design to align teams, rebuild trust, and restore communication.
Amanda is a sought after thought leader on performance topics such as coaching skills for leaders, value based leadership, and trust. Recent interviews include advising entrepreneurs and helping Millennials through the quarter-life crisis.
She is trusted by major brands like The Color Run, Penn State University, and lululemon athletica, which have all benefited from her ability to combine business excellence and the growth of people. From director level transitions, team reorgs, and culture transformation, Amanda leads with intention, rather then by chance.

| Jun 15 HR Roundtable |
We’ve all heard organizational change is hard, but the brutal fact is nearly 70% of major corporate change initiatives fail. The minority of leaders who successfully navigate their organization through the tumult of change demonstrate keen understanding of the following:
- Characteristics of Personal and Organizational Resilience
- The Nature of Change
- Change as a Process
- Resistance to Change
- Commitment to Change
At LogistiPoint Consulting, we partner with our clients to implement major change initiatives every day. This Change Leadership training session is consistently identified by our clients as a critical piece of education; enabling their own change success while minimizing disruption and dysfunction.
Complimentary lunch will be available. |

| Jun 21 DeAngelis Diamond Lunch and Learn |
Lunch and Learn Monthly Series:
Find Your Leadership Voice
Everyone speaks. Not everyone is heard. When people don’t use their natural leadership voice, here’s what happens:
- Meetings seem to go nowhere
- Time, money, and resources are wasted
- Teams are misaligned, ineffective or unhealthy
- Work environments become toxic and filled with drama and gossip
- People are in the wrong role or position
- Disagreements divide instead of unite
Want to learn how to communicate effectively with everyone you lead? Join us in May to learn about the 5 Voices, a powerful tool designed for individuals, teams, and families.
This free "Toolkit Session" comes with no strings attached, no sales pitch -- it's just a way to learn some new things to help you be a better leader.
Many thanks to our event host, Deangelis Diamond Construction.
A light lunch will be served.
Join us -- we look forward to meeting you!
