Description
Quarterly Luncheon
Launch into leadership
Everyone is a leader. Leadership is essential regardless of the season you are in life, whether it is leading yourself or leading others. Leadership is vital to every aspect of our life. It's not just about your success but the success of others around you to achieve their highest and their best. Join us as we unpack strategies for influential and impactful leadership. Developing a mindset for servant leadership must be intentional. Let’s discuss how nonverbal communication impacts your ability to lead and understand the driving forces behind human behavior. Women are shaping our nation in every capacity of leadership and this new perspective will help you become a better leader or launch into leadership.
