Today’s leaders must have not only the talent, skills, and abilities to lead at executive levels, but also the mindset to manage, lead, and influence change.
Today’s leaders must have not only the talent, skills, and abilities to lead at executive levels, but also the mindset to manage, lead, and influence change. During this THRIVE Virtual breakout session, Pamela J. Green, executive coach and consultant, will touch on the industry guidance you all are asking for:
- The definition of strategic thinking, and how to expand on this mindset
- How to recognize and employ strategic thinking tactics
- How to move from complicated to complex leadership
Green will leave you with direction on high-performance leadership behaviors that result in leaders who can quickly adapt to new business demands, remain nimble and innovative, and are able to realize your organization’s competitive advantage.
Bonus takeaway: Green will give away 30 copies of her book, Think Like an Executive Brand, during the presentation to session participants.
Qualifies for 1.0 hour of CE.
Pamela J. Green
Consultant and executive coach
Pamela J. Green Solutions
Prior to Green’s executive coaching and consulting career, she was an executive leader for the world’s largest human resource association. During that time, she became a fierce advocate for the HR profession and ensured the voice of hundreds of thousands of global HR leaders was heard and respected around the table. It was also during this time she realized that not all c-suite tables and experiences are the same—she now had an opportunity to help chief executive officers and their talented suitemates achieve more than individual excellence—to gain competitive advantage. Today, Green works with leaders aspiring to executive leadership and those in executive ranks who’ve come to terms with this one crucial acknowledgment: what got you here won’t keep you here. Because economies shift, customer expectations shift, and talent competition is fierce, a new playbook is in order, and Green has that playbook for the executive team willing to listen, willing to shift their thinking, and willing to roll up their sleeves and do the work.

Kia Young
Messaging and marketing strategist and community builder
Young’s friends would say she is a “no-nonsense advocate,” especially when it comes to what matters most in elevating your personal brand and business. She spends her days designing timeless marketing and brand strategy for thought leaders, experts, nonprofits, and purpose-driven organizations. What makes her work highly successful is that each strategy centers the client’s unique methodology and values with the needs of their clients—resulting in a brand that has influence, impact, and trust among its people. Young lives in Maryland, where she tends to exactly three children and one perfect Goldendoodle named Loki James. Home—with an interesting book, jazz playing in the background, and experimenting in the kitchen surrounded by family and loved ones—is her favorite place to be.
