Leadership Excellence
Klaudia Sapieja and Neville Wright | 2* CE credits
In this engaging session, "Leadership Excellence," we explore how the journey to becoming an influential leader starts from within. True leadership requires more than just skills and knowledge; it calls for self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and the ability to manage oneself effectively. This lecture will dive into the art of understanding one’s own strengths, weaknesses, and values to lead with authenticity and resilience.
Grounded in insights from Harvard Business Review’s renowned works on Leadership & Manage Yourself, Emotional Intelligence, and The Essentials, this session offers a transformative perspective on aligning personal growth with impactful leadership. Participants will learn practical techniques for self-management, decision-making, and cultivating a visionary mindset to inspire and empower others. Join us to discover how knowing yourself is the key to executing a vision that not only drives success but leaves a lasting legacy.
November 19, 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
