Empowerment & Action: Unlocking Leadership Potential

Tuesday, October 29, 2024

8:30 AM – 9:30 AM EDT

Location: Meeting Room 24

Join us for an engaging session on "Empowerment in Action: Unlocking Leadership Potential and Managing Up for Growth." We'll explore how leadership is a mindset, not confined to a title. Discover how to leverage your current position to drive growth and enact positive change within your organization. Through interactive discussions and practical examples, learn strategies for taking ownership of your role, initiating meaningful conversations, and proactively addressing challenges to unlock your full potential.

Learning Objectives:

Understand the concept of leadership as a mindset rather than a title, and identify practical strategies for assuming leadership roles regardless of job position.
Recognize the importance of proactively addressing gaps in systems and processes within the organization, and develop skills to contribute meaningfully to bridging these gaps.
Gain insights into the impact of self-imposed limitations on professional growth, particularly in fields like programming, and learn actionable techniques for breaking free from constraints.
