In Wednesday’s keynote, “Raising Cain: How to Increase Your Impact as a Leader,” Anton Gunn, MSW, CDM, CSP, talked about how improving leadership skills can help people make more of a difference and leave a lasting legacy in their lives. He mentioned two important questions that leaders should ask themselves: • How do I have a full-spectrum impact? • How can I make it right? Then he presented a framework for making it right, and for increasing one’s impact as a leader based on a phrase his grandmother used—Raising Cain: • C is for communication. He explained the importance of effectively “communicating your why,” the motivation behind your actions. • A is for attitude. He advocated developing a “make it right mindset” and committing to professional development. • I is for influence. He said that sharing your values and demonstrating your commitment can increase how much influence you have. • N is for network. He stressed the importance of building lasting connections and being relational rather than transactional with others. He also spoke about legacy, saying that we should use our talents and abilities to leave something for those who come after us. “Don’t try to be successful; be significant,” he said.
