Meet The"Queen Of The Pivot" and Learn How To Manage Diverse Top-Performers When You're Trying To Accomplish Big, Meaningful Goals As A Group

2

Facilitating a successful “Meeting of the Minds” means getting top-performers from diverse backgrounds, all of whom have unique goals and perspectives, to sit at the same table and work towards collective decisions.

My friend Constance Dierickx is the perfect person to learn from on pivoting, high stakes negotiations and facilitations, and so much more!

Constance Dierickx is an author, speaker, and contributor to Harvard Business Review and Forbes who advises boards and senior execs when the stakes are high, crises are looming, and decisions must be made ASAP.

During our interview, we discussed How to Create The Conditions To Optimize Your Success, how she became “Queen of the Pivot” (something we could all learn from right now navigating the pandemic), how to increase self-awareness regarding how you work, and why it’s dangerous to marinate in the sauce (that story starts at 15:54).

Constance advise boards and senior executives when the stakes are high and in crisis.

As an expert in mergers and acquisitions, her clients include small private companies and global public corporations.

She also contribute to Harvard Business Review and Forbes and is the author of High-Stakes Leadership: Leading through crisis with courage, judgment, and fortitude

…and co-author of The Merger Mindset: How to get it right in the high-stakes world of mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures.

Her M&A clients succeed 400% more often than the average.

In CEO succession, her clients retain over 95% of the internal executive talent who were contenders for the top job, but not selected.

And that’s only the beginning of her long list of personal and professional accomplishments!

Due to the sensitive nature of her work, many of her clients cannot be named.

However, of the companies she’s able to boast about, she’s worked with: AAA, AT&T, Belk, Boys and Girls Clubs of America, Chubb, Cox Enterprises, DIRECTV, IBM, Johnson Controls, Joy Global, NextGear Capital, Olive Garden, Schnabel Engineering, Tennessee Valley Authority, and Westinghouse.
