She will be speaking and conducting workshops in conjunction with CBMC's 34th Annual Mayors Prayer Breakfast. Shaunti will be presenting on the topic of "What Matters Most".
What Matters
The difference between doing it all and doing what matters. Learning a few vital, eye-opening truths is often the difference between stress and enjoyment- between failure and effectiveness in everything we do.
Most of us are well-intentioned, and work hard to build a good life, relationship or career - and often simply don't realize when we are trying hard in the wrong areas. Groundbreaking researcher Shaunti Feldhahn has identified a few simple, surprising, high-leverage factors that are life-changing at home or in the workplace.
Mayors Prayer Breakfast
What Matters Most: New Knowledge, Small Changes, Big Impacts
7:00a.m.-8:30a.m. - Terry Haws Center
"With the right lever you can move the world?" Well, maybe not the world - but your world, absolutely. All too often, if we are confused or frustrated in life, at work or in relationships - or simply want a good trend to continue --we tend to believe that big, positive change requires big effort. Years of toil and a Ph.D. in neuroscience at the very least. But Shaunti Feldhahn has discovered otherwise: it turns out that simple changes can have huge impacts. The "right lever" is a few new pieces of knowledge that most of us miss.
Shaunti started out as analyst on Wall Street, and as an average wife and mom-and unexpectedly became a social researcher and best-selling author whose simple findings have helped transform millions of lives around the world. Her innovative approach has uncovered a handful of surprising truths that most of us don't know, but are simple to apply and have a profound impact on our happiness at home and effectiveness at work. Shaunti shares an introduction to these findings and the story behind them, and her encouragement to any leader who wants to be a force for positive change in the home, community, church or workplace.

We don't know what we don't know. In this fast-paced workshop, which she has delivered at the largest household name companies and professional networks around the country, Shaunti Feldhahn downloads a few high-leverage new knowledge sets that make a vast difference in eliminating unseen obstacles, increasing personal and team productivity and making drama disappear. These workshops are essential for anyone who wants to not just be a good leader or contributor, but to be perceived as one.
- Understanding Men & Women at work
Few areas cause more problems in the workplace (both recognized and not), than several unseen but major differences between men's and women's expectations or perceptions about how things "should" function. Ten years of research has identified several vital factors that can either derail us -- hindering influence, effectiveness or productivity - or create great opportunity.
When selling to a female customer, what does she subconsciously see as listening well versus listening poorly? What leads a man to view an assertive female colleague as "confident" instead of "difficult?" How are emotions perceived? What does each gender view as a signal of someone who is a "good leader" rather than just a good utility player? Based in large part on the different wiring of the male and female brain, and published in Shaunti Feldhahn's books, including The Male Factor, this knowledge is vital for everyone in the workplace, and particularly game-changing for any woman professional.
In particular, women will learn a few high-leverage secret weapons to overcoming unseen obstacles and increasing their influence and effectiveness in the workplace. Men will learn a few keys to getting more accomplished, eliminating distracting headaches and office drama, and being someone female customers want to do business with.
- Getting Good People to Stay
Most leaders want to be good managers and keep good people once they have them, but are so busy they often let critical things slip � or don't realize they are critical to begin with. This workshop will convey the often unseen factors that you must know to get good people to stay. Rather than general management advice, it will focus on the surprising and most high-leverage factors from interviews with nearly 20,000 people who were asked "Why did you leave" or "Why did you stay?" This workshop will also present the key points for people who aren't managers but want to take control of their own job satisfaction.

What makes Shaunti's books and speaking events so successful is her ability to communicate so clearly what she learned from her research about the inner longings, the reasons behind the exasperating words, and what your spouse or teen would tell you if only they could trust you to truly listen- what they say will surprise you!
After launching her latest book, The Male Factor: The Unwritten Rules, Misperceptions and Secret Beliefs of Men in the Workplace, on The Today Show in January 2010, Shaunti is now speaking to corporate groups about her surprising findings. This knowledge has proven to be of great interest to talented, high potential women in the workplace as well as to men who want to cultivate positive working relationships. Just as if they were doing business in a foreign culture,
women find knowledge of the "internal" male culture immediately valuable in overcoming obstacles they may not have been aware of before, and having the greatest possible effectiveness and influence with male bosses, colleagues, subordinates or clients.
