Authentic Leadership
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM CT
Speaker(s): Lishelle Blakemore, Associate Vice Chancellor, Development, University Development and Alumni Relations, University of California, Berkeley
Elective Session
Leadership has many dimensions and can be defined in a range of ways, but what does it mean to be a leader? Many books have been written about how to turn yourself into a leader: stand taller, be more confident, be decisive, be collaborative, talk more, talk less. But at some point, can’t you just be yourself and also be an effective leader? This session will be a dynamic conversation about how you develop your own personal brand of leadership, adapt it to your team and environment, and remain authentic to who you are and your life experiences.
