Beyond the Keynote

Practical ways to help your people do their best work.

When you want more after the keynote

Some organizations want to keep the learning and momentum going after the keynote.

Here are ways to extend the experience.

The Activation Session

A 45–90 minute facilitated working session.

Your people apply what they just learned to the situations they face every day.

Through guided reflection, partner discussion, practical exercises, and action planning, participants turn the ideas into concrete next steps while everyone is still in the room.

Best for: Organizations and associations that want to move from inspiration to application.

Participants leave with:

  • A clearer understanding of what's helping or getting in the way on their team

  • Practice applying the ideas to their own work

  • Shared language for stronger conversations

  • One clear commitment they'll take back to their team

The Employee Listening Review

By Groundwork

What would help your people do their best work and give them more reasons to stay?

We interview leaders and employees privately to understand what they value and the specific changes they say would help them do their best work, including things they may hesitate to share with leadership.

You receive specific recommendations and a leadership working session to turn them into a clear action plan.

Available on its own or alongside a keynote.

Sample Groundwork Employee Listening Review report: a navy cover beside an open page showing What We Heard, What Your People Need and Recommended Actions.

Your leadership team receives:

  • Employee insights

  • Three clear priorities

  • A specific action plan

  • 30-day follow-up

Which option fits best?

The Activation Session helps your audience put the keynote ideas into practice.

The Employee Listening Review turns what your people say they need into clear priorities and an action plan for leadership.
