Welcome - Opening Remarks: Join our ICF Global Leaders Forum Kickoff! In this kickoff session, we will lay the foundation of what to expect in the next three days of content, networking, and excitement.

Culture to Drive Success: 

When the culture of your organization is tightly aligned with what makes it successful, you will see better results, faster growth, and stronger engagement among both staff and volunteers. In our kickoff keynote, culture expert Jamie Notter will break culture down to its basic elements and help you see the underlying culture patterns that frequently create roadblocks to organizational effectiveness. He will dig into a simple but concrete definition of culture, followed by an exploration of key patterns around areas like transparency, collaboration, agility, and innovation.

Learning Objectives:
•    Understand what culture is and how it works inside organizations.
•    Identify hidden patterns inside culture that can impede performance.
•    Improve employee engagement by prioritizing the right kind of culture change.
