Strategic Leadership: From Decision to Destination
Most leaders aren’t in the room when big strategic decisions are made. But they are the ones expected to make those decisions real. That’s where the real work begins—and where most strategy falters.
This session is designed for leaders who find themselves in the messy middle of change—navigating shifting priorities, guiding uncertain teams, and trying to deliver results in an environment full of ambiguity and resistance. It offers a practical lens for understanding what your people need after change is announced and how to lead them through it with clarity, presence, and resilience.
In this session, you’ll gain:
- A better understanding of why strategic change fails in execution
- Practical tools to lead your team through uncertainty, doubt, and pushback
- Insights into how to rebuild trust, clarity, and focus when the path ahead is unclear
- New ways to show up when your team needs more than just direction—they need leadership
Change is an announcement. Leadership is everything that follows.
About Pete Behrens
Pete Behrens didn't set out to become a leadership expert. His professional journey began as an engineer, solving technical problems, but life had other plans. Over three decades, Pete has evolved from individual contributor to technical leader to business executive and organizational coach, learning that the most complex challenges aren't technical; they're human.
As Founder and CEO of Agile Leadership Journey, Pete has dedicated his career to helping leaders navigate uncertainty with courage and authenticity. He believes that leadership isn't about having all the answers; it's about having the humility to ask better questions and the courage to step forward when the path isn't clear.
Pete’s debut book, “Into the Fog: Leadership Stories from the Edge of Uncertainty,” captures decades of leadership wisdom through compelling real-world stories. The book reveals how authentic leadership emerges not in moments of clarity, but in the uncertainty of everyday challenges–what Pete calls “the Fog.”
An influential speaker, Pete has shared his insights at various global conferences and hosts the Relearning Leadership™ podcast, where he engages with industry experts and leaders to explore the evolving landscape of leadership and organizational development.
