Developing Leadership Presence – Confidence, Competence, & Composure With Gilda Bonanno -Hosted by WIB
February 16, 2022 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Great leaders are made, not born. In order to be successful as a leader, you have to know what you’re talking about and come across as credible, demonstrate confidence without being perceived as cocky, and maintain your self-control, especially under pressure. Whether you are working independently or formally leading a team, you will achieve your goals if you can calmly and confidently tap into your knowledge and communicate clearly. This session is applicable whether you are starting out in your career or a seasoned professional, and if you work in a virtual, in-person, or hybrid work environment.
Benefits:
- Learn how to communicate like a leader, regardless of your title, and be authentic, engaging, and composed.
- Prevent your non-verbal communication from undermining your message.
- Demonstrate your expertise and establish credibility.
This event is co-hosted by WIB chapters in Connecticut, New York, Montreal, and Pittsburgh.
