Be Your Best Self Monthly: How to Lead Big

The capacity to lead with confidence is one of the most essential leadership skills to demonstrate when navigating through organizational growth and change. It helps you build trust and gain buy-in from those you work with cross-functionally as well as those you manage and serve. But what if you don’t feel confident? What if you have a BIG goal, but you feel small? What if you have a heart for helping others, but you’re not sure you can help yourself? In any of these instances, you need to know that you CAN! End of story.   
 

In this session, author of Barefoot in the Boardroom, Shara Hutchinson, shares strategies that can help you get BIG results even when you feel small. When leading or navigating uncertainty, there are times where you have to break an organizational norm, overcome cultural barriers, or speak up when others are silent to drive transformational change. That is what it means to be "barefoot in the boardroom". This session will equip you with the strategies necessary to shut up the inner critic, step outside your comfort zone, and do the hard thing you know you need to do to reach your full potential and create lasting results as a leader.
