Graduate School Workshops
What I Wish I Knew Before Entering Industry

Self-Awareness: A Vital Component of Leadership
October 22 from 3-4:30pm | Virtual
Leadership is often associated with vision, influence, decision-making, and the ability to inspire others. While these qualities are undoubtedly important, they are built upon a more fundamental foundation: self-awareness. Before leaders can effectively guide others, navigate conflict, build trust, or create meaningful change, they must first understand themselves. This workshop provides a framework for how to build self-awareness so that one can become a more effective and engaging leader. Register here.
