ELEVATING YOUR EDUCATION CULTURE WITH
Caring, Kindness, and Transformational Leadership
Many of today’s leaders are lacking in crucial elements that have been proven to be a huge piece of the puzzle for effective leadership: Caring, Kindness, and Empowerment (CKE). Often, leaders are unaware that they come across as uncaring, or, they simply don’t think it really makes a difference.
​
Many leaders today also don’t know how important their voice and their messages are when speaking to those they lead. Some don’t know how to communicate well; they sound flat, boring, and they don’t use melody. Some aren’t very good at empowering others, while others seem to exude a natural love and caring for others that bring out the best in those they lead.
​
Drawing on key concepts she’s successfully utilized over 3 decades as a dynamic performer on stage, and highly sought-after vocal coach and a high-performance coach, Annie Bzdawka enlightens leaders on how to use their voices to improve their communication for more confidence and engagement, while at the same time empowering and energizing those they lead, also bringing out and elevating their voices, confidence, and performance levels. She also shows us why CKE is so important, how to turn up the volume on CKE, and how this results in more harmony and better outcomes, empowering and inspiring those you lead to hit the high notes they didn’t think they were capable of hitting!
​
Annie’s talks resonate most with young leaders, women leaders, college and university students, and education professionals who are on a mission to make caring, kindness, and empowering others the soundtrack of their success.
