Week 1: Personal Branding
Have you ever thought about what people say about you when you’re not in the room? What are your qualities that shine the most? What is an elevator speech?

Week 5: "Energy, Attitude & Leadership: How Are You Showing Up" with Natalie Siston
How well do you handle what is thrown at you on a daily basis? How would you like to react with less stress, greater resilience and deeper connection? This session will help you with each of these things by learning about Energy Leadership™. Depending on what’s going on in a given day—whether really fun or really stressful - you are likely showing up and displaying a different attitude to your colleagues, friends and family. Learn about the different types of energy we experience and how you can take positive, productive & sustainable action to show up in the best way possible. During this interactive workshop, we dive into the concept of Energy Leadership™, which is the process that helps you evaluate your personal leadership and introduces shifts to make in order to positively influence not only yourself, but also those you work and interact with, as well as your organization as a whole. Tuesday October 6th, 7:30-8:30 PM EST https://osu.zoom.us/j/94363517300?pwd=dE1DemtnS2ZlVGFwbUNtU2U4S1NRQT09 |
