Alden Mills

What if you found out the one thing keeping you from achieving your goals was you? That the difference between success and failure resides between your ears, with your mindset, attitude, and outlook. Every successful person and business faces obstacles and setbacks, but so often people fail to overcome them, not because of their skills or abilities, but because they weren’t mentally prepared to succeed. The secret to outperforming the rest is how you view and approach those key moments. Developing a mindset that allows you to thrive where others stumble and a perspective that keeps you always moving towards your goals. 

With over 40 years of experience overcoming challenges in business and in life, Alden understands what it truly takes to be successful – an Unstoppable Mindset. Training audiences to focus on the aspects of challenges that are within their control, Alden offers a practical approach to raising standards and developing confidence through an internal sense of resilience.

Much more than just a motivational experience, this keynote equips the audience with a system enabling them to tackle tough challenges, use obstacles to their advantage, and achieve success time and time again.

One thing is certain, a team will ALWAYS dominate a group.

A group of individuals will only be as successful as its strongest member, but a unified team has the power to be Unstoppable. Understanding how to transition your group into a team will have a force multiplying effect on performance and elevate your team to its highest potential.

Pulling from his experiences and best-selling book Unstoppable Teams, Alden shares the essential proven strategies for leaders and team contributors to build high-performing teams through alignment, trust, and outsized contributions.

Motivating as it is practical, be prepared to walk away from this keynote with an instantly-applicable action plan to develop teams equipped to solve problems, overcome hurdles, embrace change, and repeatedly surpass their goals.

A strong culture is the foundation of any thriving company and a direct indicator of future success. The people, mission and values of an organization are what sets them apart from their competitors and creates loyalty within. In today’s fast moving and ever-changing business world, developing a cohesive culture is more important and trickier than ever to accomplish. So where do we start? How do we get from the culture we have to the one we aspire for?

Drawing on his 40+ years of experience shaping high-performing cultures, Alden Mills understands how bridging the gap between aspirational culture and the culture that is truly practiced within an organization can unlock the potential within. He knows why so many leaders struggle with culture building and the core elements that constitute a strong organizational culture: Promise, People, and Process.

Through personal stories and live exercises, Alden provides the step-by-step path to constructing a thriving cultural framework by building intentional structure, dynamic practices, and congruent values that will effectively close culture gaps for years to come. By the end of this keynote, you will not only understand the importance of a deliberate and well-crafted culture but also possess the tools and knowledge necessary to build one.

True leadership transcends mere authority. It’s not about wielding power or being at the top of the organizational chart. Instead, it’s about something far more profound: taking care of those in our charge and getting them to achieve more.  The most important thing a leader can do is foster an environment where team members feel safe and empowered to innovate and push boundaries – without fear of failure. When people are empowered and cared for, they will go beyond what they originally thought possible, and when this occurs, your organization’s true leadership potential is activated.

With years of experience as a leader and coaching leaders, Alden has found time and again that there are three levels of effective leadership, no one level is more important than the other, and truly successful leaders are masters of all three.  Effective leadership starts with self-discipline and self-awareness (self), extends to collaboration and teamwork (others), and culminates in the ability to inspire and mobilize large groups (culture).

In this impactful keynote, Alden shares this proven model of leadership development, focusing not just on inspiring and motivating leaders, but on building practical skills within each of the three levels. Empowering them with the knowledge and tools to be the most effective leaders they are capable of being, Alden ensures the audience will walk away ready to transform the people and teams they work with.

The 3 Levels of Unstoppable Leadership:

Leading Yourself – Leading always begins with the individual. How one leads themselves directly impacts how they lead others. 

Leading Others – Effective leadership is directly dependent upon the ability to contribute to a team and lead others. Teams are nothing more than a reflection of its leaders.

Leading Culture – Culture is what propels organizations to their greatest level of success, over and over again. An organization’s culture is directly correlated with the daily actions of its teams.
