“A leader sees greatness in other people. He nor she can’t be much of a leader if all she sees is herself.”
― Maya Angelou
Join us for our sixth event of this series where we explore inspirational leadership in practice. This is part of the leadership theme of ‘Motivating and Inspiring‘ which is our focus for October.
We experience inspiring and motivated individuals at all levels of our services. They set the tone by encouraging and appreciating others, working with energy and enthusiasm, and by contributing to a vision and a work culture that people want to be part of. By doing so, they often motivate and inspire others to develop and bring their best contribution.
We will consider the following questions
Who has motivated and inspired you to take your career in a direction you wanted to take?
‘You can be what YOU can see’ – what does this statement mean to you?
We welcome into the conversation:
With a focus on storytelling and reflections, our contributors will share their experiences and collectively, we’ll explore what this means for us, in our own workplaces and in our day-to-day roles using breakout groups.
