Enhancing Your Leadership from the Inside Out

Wednesday, April 16, 2025
1:15 PM – 2:15 PM MST
Location: 254
CE: 1
CE Type: SHRM
Education Level: Intermediate
Leadership is neither a title nor a skillset that people are born with. Join us to explore and discuss what we mean by leadership development being an inside-out process, and learn how people can begin the process of enhancing their own self-awareness as a means of becoming more effective in all areas of their leadership responsibilities. Learn from two successful CEOs of ESOP companies who will each share their leadership journey. Participate in one or two activities designed to facilitate your individual self-awareness and share your experience with others in the audience. If you're already in a leadership position, this session will remind you that effective leadership is not about checking off completed tasks or responding to every request. Scheduling time and developing a habit of reflection will result in more conscious choices about what to do and doing those things more effectively. Finally, we will discuss how to use this framework to enhance the leadership of your team.
