Information

Most leaders secretly believe breakthrough performance requires the right team: the perfect mix of talent, chemistry, and motivation. But in the real world, leaders rarely get to handpick their people. Teams are inherited, reshuffled, constrained by budgets, history, and circumstance.

And yet, breakthroughs still happen. And legacies are built, often with the most unlikely teams.

In this keynote, Jenn Landis challenges the myth of the perfect team and replaces it with a practical, empowering truth: you don't need a new team to create a breakthrough. You need a new approach. As Senior Vice President and Chief HR Officer of a multi-billion-dollar energy company, Jenn helped engineering and technical leaders deliver results with the teams they inherited. She shares the proven system that transforms frustration into momentum.

Grounded in the Breakthrough Formula (Strategize + Energize + Mobilize), this session shows leaders how to move from stalled progress to clarity, commitment, and execution. Attendees will leave with a shared language for teamwork and concrete tools they can apply immediately.

Success is a team sport — and with the right formula, any team can break through.
