THE SIGNATURE EXPERIENCE
Break Orbit: Achieving Long-Term Growth in a Short-Term World
As a top leader, you have a bold transformational vision for your company’s future. You may be focused on entering an emerging market, experimenting with AI and other technology, acquiring another company, or some other unique opportunity. Millions and potentially billions of dollars are at stake, and the clock is ticking.
You’ve done the listening tour, given speeches and interviews about how your vision fits with your company’s purpose, and you’ve demonstrated the potential ROI. Yet you’re facing mysteriously “knotty dynamics“ from your stakeholders: employees, customers, partners, shareholders, and others who seem more focused on short-term gains rather than on long-term growth. This can pull your company into what Pam Harper calls “the orbit of the status quo”: busy in the current business cycle but not truly focused on business innovation and transformation for growth.
Professional speaker Pam Harper has seen what it takes to break orbit and achieve transformational growth
In this compelling keynote, you’ll go behind the scenes as Pam shares the “break orbit” story of a top leadership team facing a major turning point on their company’s growth journey. Through their story, you’ll demystify the knotty leadership dynamics that can make or break success. You’ll become aware of three particular “Growth Igniters Paradoxes” that can naturally emerge in uncharted territory, and how you can untangle the knot to turn these leadership challenges into game-changing opportunities.
Come away with a unique model and principles you can apply to leading through the dynamics of uncertainty and complexity to ignite the energy it takes to achieve transformational long-term growth, even in a short-term world.
Are you ready to break orbit?
Ideal for Senior executives ready to move from friction to forward motion. Can be customized for executive summits, board retreats, association conferences, and strategic leadership forums.

By the end of this session, your audience will discover:
- What can drive mysterious resistance to even the most compelling visions

- Practical insights they can apply to their own company’s growth
“Pam's topic is very relevant and vitally important given the dynamics of today’s market.
I really appreciate the approach Pam is taking to demystify the various dimensions of leadership for transformational growth – particularly the Growth Igniters® Paradoxes.”

ADDITIONAL SIGNATURE OFFERING
Demystify the Tangle of Knotty Dynamics During Transformational Growth
As the world keeps changing, what does it take to reimagine your company’s future – and bring it to life? Even the savviest directors and CEOs can experience a gap between their bold vision and mission and the often “mysterious” responses that stakeholders can have to transformational growth: persistent conflicts, stubborn attachment to the current way of conducting business, and missed opportunities. This can create an “orbit of the status quo” (circling around being busy but not moving forward) that can put your company at high risk of disruption.
In this highly interactive session, Pam Harper guides participants through a case study and peer conversation to “untangle the knot” of human dynamics and discover hidden opportunities for igniting game-changing growth.
At the core of these knotty dynamics are three leadership challenges associated with moving into uncharted territory:
• Facing open and hidden pushback to a bold vision for the future
• Committing to a vision clouded with uncertainty
• Accelerating momentum for transformational growth filled with complexity
By the end of this session, your audience will:
- Recognize the “Three Growth Igniters® Paradoxes” associated with the leadership challenges of moving into uncharted territory
- Discover a strategic model for demystifying the tangle of knotty dynamics
- Identify a starting point for applying the model during transformational growth
Ideal for C-suite executives and board leaders ready to move from friction to forward motion.
Can be customized as a breakout, keynote, or workshop experience.
“"Relevant and relatable. Pam described issues I have faced with my own company and executives. I appreciated that she didn't keep things theoretical but walked us through a real-life case study. Very helpful to see her advice brought to life.”

Managing Director, Human Capital Advisor at Veritas Partners
