    Why A Strategic Mindset Matters

    In an era where AI and rapid technological advancements are reshaping the workplace, cultivating a strategic mindset within teams and across organizations is crucial for continued relevance and success.

    This interactive presentation will provide attendees with critical knowledge and practical tools for developing strategic thinking capabilities that go beyond single-focused execution. We’ll explore why fostering a strategic mindset is essential in today’s business landscape, especially given the current pressures of technology, workplace culture shifts, and the tendency to prioritize immediate execution over long-term strategy.

    Participants will gain actionable insights into identifying workplace barriers that hinder strategic thinking and learn how to apply straightforward approaches to integrate strategic thinking into daily activities. The session will also introduce powerful questions that can be immediately used to build a culture of strategic thinking, enhancing both individual and organizational contributions.

    Learning Objectives:

    By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

    • Explain the significance of strategic thinking and its impact on business success.
    • Identify key historical and economic factors that have contributed to the decline of strategic thinking in the workplace.
    • Apply practical methods to develop and enhance strategic thinking within teams.
    • Integrate strategic thinking techniques into daily work to foster a culture of long-term organizational success.


    This workshop is limited to 35 Participants. Early bird rates to July 20th.

    Founder of Xcelerate  and The StrategicPlayground

    Mary Rapaport is on a mission to democratize strategic thinking. She believes it's not just for the elite few, but for everyone in an organization. When everyone channels a strategic mindset, the business culture thrives, teams become more creative, and employees lean in and engage more. Cultivating this mindset helps leaders create a better (and more fun) place to work, fostering a stronger culture of creativity and innovation.

    As a strategic thinking architect, Mary empowers leaders and teams across all functions and levels to think, act, and lead more strategically. As the founder of Xcelerate, she builds learning strategy, designing and delivering immersive learning experiences that ignite “aha moments”; and drive tangible business results.

    Mary's signature program, the Strategic Playground Workshop, is a unique blend of immersion, play, and practical application. Participants engage in reflection, peer learning, and scenario learning to awaken and channel their strategic mindset, helping them solve complex challenges and have a greater impact.

    As a trusted strategic thinking coach, Mary partners with individuals and teams at leading brands to develop customized learning and development strategies. She works closely with clients to identify blind spots, refine critical thinking skills, and translate strategic insights into actionable plans for tangible ROI.

    Mary’s passion extends beyond individual development. She champions inclusive growth through the Minority Business Growth Alliance, a non-profit providing invaluable coaching and support to BIPOC entrepreneurs. She holds an MBA, a BA in International Business and French, and is a certified leadership and sales trainer. Mary has extensive experience in marketing, transformation, and strategic initiatives. She also serves as the current president of the Twin Cities chapter of the Association of Talent Development.

      Great for anyone working across cultures—especially trainers and facilitators.
