Join us at the Beedie School of Business when our CMA Centre for Strategic Change hosts Ryan Quinn – Assistant Professor in Darden School of Business, University of Virginia, consultant to Fortune 500 companies and author of Lift: Becoming a Positive Force in any Situation.

No matter what roles a person plays in life – business manager, parent, friend, neighbor, and so forth – we all want to have a positive impact, but often, despite our best intentions, we’re tripped up by subtle psychological states we’re not even aware of. It doesn’t have to be that way. This breakfast session will combine cutting-edge social science and real-world examples to describe four mindsets that help people become aware of the unconscious ways you’re holding yourself and others back. This goes beyond merely wielding positive influence, with lift, by your very nature, you become a positive influence.
	Ryan Quinn teaches and conducts research on change management, with specific interests in how conversations organize and re-organize our social world. He has studied how conversations influence, innovate, energize, enable collective performance, create learning, and create courage. He teaches in the full-time and executive MBA programs as well as in Executive Education. He has consulted for Fortune 500 companies, private firms, start-up businesses, non-profits, and government institutions, and is a principal at Lift Consulting. He is also involved in the Darden/Curry Partnership for Leaders in Education’s Turnaround Specialist program and Wallace Foundation program, helping to train principals and other educators who are attempting to transform public schools in which students are not achieving academic standards.
