Lead Yourself and Others with Sandra McDowell
March 11 • 10AM – 11AM, Zoom
As Cheshire Cat said to Alice, “If you don’t know where you’re going, then any road will take you there.” The road to personal leadership begins with getting clear on what matters most to you, how you want to ‘show up’ in the world, and the difference you want to make. Leadership is not based on position, but rather a reflection of how you show up every day at work, at home and in the community.
In this session, attendees will hone their leader mindset by leveraging the three Cs of confident leadership: clarity, conviction, and courage. They’ll walk away with a clearer definition of their values, beliefs, and intended outcomes, as well as an understanding of how to rewire the brain for lasting impact.
PRESENTED BY: Sandra McDowell, CEO and Founder of eLeadership Academy
With nearly two decades of executive experience and advanced certifications in Leadership, Coaching, Neuroleadership, and Human Resources, Sandra McDowell is a trusted authority on the application of neuroscience for leadership. As the founder and voice behind the globally recognized eLeadership AcademyTM, she helps leaders and organizations increase their performance by harnessing the untapped power of the brain. Author of Your Mother Was Right: 15 Unexpected Lessons About Leadership and the Brain, Sandra is also an international speaker, associate faculty for two universities, and on a mission to bridge the gap between brain research, human behaviour, and 21st-century leadership.
