Leadership Academy Seminar #2: Why Not You?
Overview
We often look at leadership, success, and impact as something that is reserved for those that are extremely talented, lucky, or privileged. This seminar will focus on helping participants understand the power they have in themselves to grow personally and professionally, influence, and make a difference while pushing through the imposter syndrome that they are likely experiencing.
