Eric McNulty Speaking Topics

  • Unleashing the Power of Us: Building Communities of Leading

    As organizations and communities face ever-more complex challenges, leading change needs a refresh.

    Eric McNulty reveals how to tap into the power of humans’ natural collaborative, adaptive instincts by making sense, crafting meaning, opening space, and shaping place to enlist support and build momentum. Change becomes a collective undertaking where everyone sees the future, and has the potential to contribute and grow.

    What the audience will take away from this presentation:

    • How to steward large teams towards meaningful success (and create an environment people will love to work in).

    • How to transition from command-and-control to a service mindset that brings out the best in people, enhances engagement, and improves results.

    • Innovative and inspiring, a 2023 client called this talk, “captivating and moving, and a huge hit.”

    • You’ll also learn to see individual performance in a new light, one that unlocks potential across your team and organization.

  • Leading Through Crisis and Change

    Navigating turbulence and adapting to fast-evolving conditions are the new core competencies for leaders. It’s impossible to prepare for every contingency. Yet there are essential skills and techniques you can learn to face high-stakes moments with confidence.

    Effective crisis leaders build islands of certainty around core values and principles that restore calm and foster resilience amidst the chaos. This enables quick action, even amidst great uncertainty. Eric McNulty shows you how to lead through even the most turbulent situations so you, too, can confidently take the reins in any challenge.

    What the audience will take away from this presentation:

    • The three dimensions of the powerful meta-leadership framework and practice method that empower you to lead more intentionally and confidently.

    • How to establish a culture of trust and accountability that focus and ground both small teams and large, no matter the challenge.

    • Sometimes crises emerge from our organization’s own actions, and sometimes they’re an unexpected shock. Learn how to prepare for multiple futures, both foreseeable and difficult to discern—so you’re ready to nimbly address whatever reality unfolds.
