Having a knowledgeable guide on hand is important for both traveling and leadership.
A dynamic speaker, Shiraz will delight and engage you with his energetic presentation
style as he serves up the Cracker-barrel topic called Contemporary Practical
Leadership! In it, Shiraz will examine two contemporary ways of imparting
leadership, consisting of methods, which are relatively new and yet age-old!
Often coaching and mentoring are not seen as means of teaching leadership
skills, but used effectively, they offer a very practical and interactive
approach that can yield powerful results. This short presentation will focus
on similarities and differences between coaching and mentoring, providing
practical tips on how each can be used, not just in business world, but in
everyday life.
