Embracing Change and Challenges in Modern Leadership

Lisa McCarthy, CEO and co-founder of the Fast Forward group, and author of Fast Powered: Five Power Principles to Create the Life You Want in Just One Year on managing stress and achieving fulfilment in the workplace and in life. Lisa who has spent 25 years at prominent media companies including Univision, Viacom, and CBS, driving billions in sales revenue, has used her own experience of the toll of high pressure to develop a system to create success and satisfaction. Named a ‘woman to watch’ by Advertising Age, and listed on Crains New York Business 40 under 40, she argues that managers need to put the emphasis on coaching and mentoring, and less on bossing. The constant upgrading and improving of our selves, she says, will help us to seize opportunities, which will be even critical in the workplace of the future.
