Crossing the Bridge: Recovering the Heart of Great Leadership

Care-centered leadership isn’t about fixing what’s broken.

It’s about creating the conditions where people and organizations can offer their highest and best.

In his highly-interactive, story-driven keynote, Bobby reframes great leadership as the practice of exceptional care rooted in three essential commitments:

Care of Self
Leaders learn to honor their own highest and best gifts, moving from survival-driven leadership to clarity, alignment, and grounded presence.

Care for Others
Participants discover how trust, autonomy, and psychological safety unlock creativity, ownership, and collective intelligence - without micromanagement.

Care Through Recognition
Leaders practice the often-missing discipline of recognition: seeing, naming, and affirming the contributions that foster belonging and sustained engagement.

The result?
Teams that feel trusted, seen, and empowered - and leaders who no longer confuse control with care.

Attendees will leave with immediately actionable ways to make their organization the kind of workplace where employees regularly show up at their highest and best because the leadership is doing the same with and for them.
