• Signature Leadership: The Cost of Unresolved Conflict

  What is unresolved and unnecessary conflict costing your organization?

  In the wake of the pandemic, business leadership trainer Jamie Mason Cohen noticed a troubling trend with organizations across North America. Curious to learn more, he conducted a three-year study with CEOs and key executives. This study confirmed that the average wasted time per day due to unresolved and unnecessary conflict is 4 hours (1600 hours plus per year). This adversely impacts the mental health, productivity, and bottom line of a company with an overall cost of $30,000 per employee affected.

  Cohen is a certified leadership coach with The Leadership Circle and was awarded “Top Leadership Trainer” by Dale Carnegie Training. He has conducted leadership communication and conflict resolution sessions for Sun Life Financial, Novo Nordisk Pharma, Baker Tilly Accounting, TEC Canada, Vistage, and Meeting Planners International.

• The Signature Mentor: Building a Mentorship Culture of Trust, Performance, and Psychological Safety

  In a hybrid, high-stakes world, mentorship is your secret weapon to retain talent, grow leaders, and strengthen team culture — if it’s done right.

  In every business today, your team is being asked to do more with less. Tight budgets, rising stakeholder demands, and the pressure to deliver excellence are constant. But something deeper is at play: even your most committed people are feeling stretched, underrecognized, and uncertain about how to sustain meaningful growth for themselves or their teams.

  Why? Because most workplaces don’t intentionally build a culture of mentorship. They haven’t equipped leaders with the tools to deliver high support, high expectations, and high psychological safety — the core drivers of real performance.

  Jamie Mason Cohen is the creator of “The Signature Mentor” — a keynote-meets-masterclass experience trusted by organizations across sectors. He doesn’t just speak about mentorship — he models it. His talks are high-engagement, high-emotion, and deeply human. This isn’t a motivational keynote; it’s a transformational system reset to activate a mentorship culture that drives real results.

  • Reconnect with their “why” through purpose-driven peer mentor interviews.
  • Experience live coaching as Cohen integrates science-backed leadership coaching with forensic handwriting analysis to reveal real-time strengths and blind spots.
  • Practice “The Signature Mentorship Check-In”: A 10-minute weekly tool to build trust and drive performance with focus and consistency.
  • Reflect with “The Signature Mentor Debrief”: A takeaway framework to turn feedback into forward momentum.

  This masterclass doesn’t just leave audiences inspired — it gives them tools they’ll use the next day to lead better, coach smarter, and build a high-trust culture that scales.
