ATD Dallas & Fort Worth October Chapter Meeting
Hosted by Christus Health
The Secure Leadership Framework: The Key to Strengthening Emotional Intelligence, Building Strong Teams, and Driving Results
Tuesday, October 28, 2025 / 6:00pm – 7:30pm
REGISTRATION DEADLINE October 24, 2025
BRIEF DESCRIPTION
Leaders are under more pressure than ever due to relentless change and volatility. The pace of decision-making is faster, the expectations are higher, and it’s increasingly difficult to be at our best. Not only that, but nearly 50% of leaders report that managing the emotional needs of their teams is their most draining responsibility.
Based on Dr. Goff’s new book, The Secure Leader: Discover the Hidden Forces that Shape Your Leadership Story and How to Change Them, this session will introduce the Secure Leadership Framework, positioning you to create stability in uncertainty, to lead with empathy and strength, and to cultivate trust and resilience in the workplace. This framework is woven of three essential threads that shape sustainable, self-aware leadership, helping leaders shift from:
● Dysregulation to regulation
● Disconnection to connection
● Disintegration to integration
As a result of attending this session, participants will:
1. Understand how insecure and secure leadership styles impact team culture and performance.
2. Assess their own leadership style to identify growth opportunities.
3. Learn and practice tools to help themselves and others become more secure leaders.
