Joe Mull

Are you engaging in the interactions that lead people at work to join, stay, care, and try? While there are dozens of things leaders have to get right to lead effectively, there are 3 specific habits that play an outsized role in triggering emotional and psychological commitment on the job. In this engaging primer on leading teams in a new age of work, Joe Mull mixes real-world stories with the latest social science research to give leaders at all levels clarity on what they must say and do to #bossbetter.

Why do some teams become high-performing, close-knit, no drama workgroups and others don’t? Joe Mull spent years researching this question, resulting in his book No More Team Drama: Ending the Gossip, Cliques, and Other Crap that Damage Workplace Teams. In this captivating, laugh-out-loud funny keynote, teams and leaders learn the 4 habits that improve the quality of interactions between employees at work and that transform a team of people into a band of collaborators.

The employee revolution is here. As workers everywhere quit, retire, or change jobs, do you really understand what leads ordinary people to become dedicated employees? Grounded in social science research, Joe Mull uses his trademark humor and energy to define the new rules you must embrace to attract talent and spark commitment. Along theway, Joe will outline why pool tables, massages, and espresso machines never mattered, why those saying, “People just don’t want to work anymore!” will be the first to fail, and why trying to find the best person for the job is a broken strategy. You’ll leave with a clear blueprint for easily attracting the very best talent for years to come.

Gossip. Infighting. Complaints. Cliques. Team drama wreaks havoc on organizational health. It damages morale, productivity, engagement, and retention. Drama leads to customer complaints, lost revenue, and a talent exodus. It also sucks the life out of every manager it touches, monopolizing their time and obliterating their spirit. This is why personnel at every level, in every industry, have a duty to build team unity and prevent team drama.

This program – based on Joe’s popular book No More Team Drama – is a captivating primer on improving the quality of interactions between employees in the workplace. Attendees learn exactly how to transform a group of employees into a band of collaborators committed to working hard, getting along, and wowing customers.

Every day employees go to work and make astounding differences in the lives of others. Unfortunately, the never-ending challenges and changes in work environments disconnect employees from seeing their true impact. When difference-making fades from view, employees simply go through the motions. They burn out or stop caring altogether. Using psychology, humor, social science research, and captivating stories, Joe Mull teaches leaders strategies to create line of sight between the tasks and responsibilities of an employee’s job and the real-world impact they have every day. Interactive, inspiring, and uplifting, this program leaves attendees energized about their own work while equipping them with tactics to become better storytellers and inspire their own teams long after the event.

The most effective event keynotes aren’t just programs. They are an experience for each person in the audience that is captivating, inspiring, profoundly useful, and highly entertaining. I’ve spent more than 20 years designing and delivering compelling learning content. When I speak at your event, I won’t talk about leadership or team building in generic nuggets of fortune-cookie wisdom. I’ll help those in attendance tackle the real world challenges they face every day: gossip, in-fighting, cliques, employees who say “that’s not my job” or who “keep score,” and more. A laugh-out-loud funny exploration of these issues, along with my commitment to teaching practical, real-world strategies your audience can use the next day, will be a huge hit at your event. And because of my experience and pre-conference research, the examples and advice will be so spot-on relevant, it’s likely that many of your attendees will say “that was one of the best keynotes I’ve ever heard.”

In addition to bringing an energetic, inspiring, meaty program to your audience, I will also provide tools to help you drive traffic and build buzz for your event. My promise to you is that I will be a dedicated, easy-to-work-with partner, one who thrills your audience and seeks out any way that I can help you and your event be wildly successful.
