Speaking
Erik Saar, Ph.D. is available to speak at your event. He is the owner of Jasfin Consulting and an expert in leadership, motivation and organizational culture. Erik has worked with government and commercial clients to train leaders, conduct research, improve organizational culture, and provide customized solutions. Erik helps leaders transform broken cultures and create thriving, productive teams!. Erik has researched human motivation and organizational culture for over twenty years. His interest in these topics was surprisingly peaked during his time working in intelligence and counterterrorism. Erik worked in roles that required he develop an in-depth understanding of how and why terrorist groups were able to recruit new members. His counterterrorism experience ignited a passion for understanding motivation and the impact of leaders to shape culture and organizational dynamics . . . because he saw how critical this was to the formation of terrorist organizations. This passion set him on a lifelong pursuit to learn and teach about motivation and the power of connection. In his keynote speech, he uses his experience working with detainees in Guantanamo Bay Cuba to describe a moment when he learned a universal truth. While trying to understand why Al Qaeda was able to attract young men to take the extreme step of joining a terrorist organization, he discovered a universal principle that turned out to not just be a motivator and difference-maker for a terrorist organization . . . but it is also THE reason why businesses succeed, non-profits grow, sports teams overachieve, and families flourish. It is The ConneX Factor. Erik has developed a framework that enables leaders to create environments where team members are connected and thrive. Erik has developed a keynote speech titled: The ConneX Factor: How to Transform your Organization through the Power of Connection. When you’re trying to build a productive and energetic workplace culture, the degree to which team members feel a sense of connection is critical to your success. In order to build a sense a connected culture, you need to learn proven strategies to empower team members and make them want to perform their best. By the end of your time with Erik, you will discover how to create environments where team members feel a sense of belonging, build strong relationships with one another, and feel connected to each other and the organization.
