What can VC24 attendees expect to learn at your session?
In a world that’s constantly changing, leaders must be as dynamic as the environments they navigate. Our series at the IAVM VenueConnect annual conference is designed to transform attendees into such leaders – adaptable, decisive and empathetic. You’ll learn to harness the power of business emotional intelligence to not only read and react to diverse situations but also to influence and develop others effectively. You will emerge with a personalized dynamic leadership strategy, equipped with the tools to inspire, empower and lead with resilience. Embark on a journey that will redefine your approach to leadership and amplify your impact.
What is the best advice you’ve received?
Criticism at work is not personal. It’s a compass. Feedback—positive and negative—is an opportunity for growth. Step back and view it objectively. It’s about the work, not your worth.
