For Individual Contributors Who Want to Show Up, Stand Out, and Succeed
About this Event

You don’t need a title to be a leader—and you don’t need a team to make an impact. This interactive workshop is designed for high-potential individual contributors who want more than a paycheck: they want to feel valued, empowered, and fully engaged in their work.

Led by Rodney Patterson, The Engagement Coach, this session helps you take ownership of the psychological and emotional drivers of engagement that are within your control. You’ll learn how to navigate workplace challenges, strengthen your confidence, and show up in a way that feels authentic, powerful, and recognized.

Whether you're feeling stuck, underappreciated, or simply ready to elevate your game, this workshop will equip you with tools to move forward—on your terms.


What You’ll Learn
  • How to take stock of your own engagement levels and what may be impacting them
  • How dimensions of diversity can influence engagement—and how to navigate those dynamics
  • How to build trust, strengthen your network, and grow your confidence
  • How to shift from resistance to resource using TLG’s Behavior Awareness Model
  • How to apply the power of pivoting to your daily work and long-term goals

Why It Matters

We believe disengagement is never the goal. You want to do great work—where you’re seen, heard, and appreciated. This workshop gives you the clarity and confidence to do just that. You’ll walk away empowered to own your role, elevate your impact, and move your career forward with purpose.


Key Focus Areas
  • The Journey to Engagement – What does it really take to get engaged (and stay engaged) at work?
  • Defining Engagement – Learn what true engagement looks like from the inside out
  • Measuring Engagement – Practical tools to assess where you are
  • Enhancing Engagement – Strategies to boost your energy, confidence, and contribution
  • Addressing Disengagement – Spot the signs and tackle them head-on

Perfect For:
  • Individual contributors ready to grow
  • Employees feeling stuck, frustrated, or overlooked
  • High performers who want to reconnect with purpose
  • Anyone eager to contribute more—and be recognized for it
