March 7, 2023, 6:30-8:30pm  |  Collaboration & Leadership Visioning  |  Zoom MANDATORY

To enhance our leadership, the first step is building awareness of ourselves and the second step is developing our leadership vision — what kind of leader am I, what kind of leader do I wish to be, what are the steps I must take to achieve my leadership vision?  This session will explore these questions, starting with understanding your preferences using a whole brain thinking framework (the Neethling Brain Instrument™). This session will be conducted by Muriel Watkins.

April 11, 2023, 6:30-8:30pm  |  Defining Your Next Career Chapter  |  Zoom MANDATORY

This workshop will build upon your leadership vision and community built to give shape to fellows’ vision for the next chapter of their careers. This interactive workshop will partner fellows to reflect and articulate what they’ve learned thus far. With that clarity, fellows define clear actions to step into the next phase of leadership within their careers. This session will focus on goal setting, developing self-awareness and accountability. The session will be led by Ami Watkin, leadership coach, change and engagement strategist and Head of Strategy & Culture at Hashtag Gaming Arena.

June 20, 2023, 6:30-8:30pm  |  Mastering Difficult Conversations  |  Zoom MANDATORY

Negotiating for resources. Giving feedback. Navigating conflict. Generating support for your idea. We face difficult conversations every day at work—handling them well is integral to our success. Based on the book Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most (Penguin 2000), we offer a framework for understanding why some of our most important conversations are so hard, examining the common mistakes we all make, and provide a step-by-step method for handling them with less anxiety and better results.

Through interactive exercises, relatable stories, and small and large group discussion, we introduce tools and frameworks to:

• unpack the underlying structure of difficult conversations
• increase understanding when parties see things differently
• navigate strong emotions (yours and theirs)
• speak up with clarity and impact

Are You Your Own CEO? The Importance of Personal Branding

We are CEOs of our companies: Me Inc. To be in business today, our most important job is to be head marketer for the brand called YOU. – Tom Peters

Whether you are 25 or 55, having a personal brand is necessary. Tom Peters was one of the first to explore the significance of personal branding in an article he wrote for Fast Company in the 1990s. Once primarily used by Silicon Valley CEOs, branding has evolved into a tool used by professionals, regardless of their industry or career level, to highlight and distinguish themselves within a highly competitive global and domestic business market.

This presentation will provide the seven steps needed to create a brand. A case study  on personal branding that went awry will be featured. This session will be led by Jennefer Witter, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of The Boreland Group Inc.

September 20, 2023, 6:30-8:00pm  | Resume & LinkedIn Workshop |  In-Person & Online
