Option 1: Executive Breakout Session: Your Seat at the Table—A Discussion Around Joining a Board of Directors
During this THRIVE Virtual breakout session targeted toward emerging leaders, Young will share the four keys to making deep, intentional, connections that ensure you do more than stand out. Legacy branding gives you a framework of what to share with others to solidify lasting impact and interest that gets you closer to your goal—whether that be new friendships, collaborations, clients, or business opportunities. Walk away with a universal yet customizable framework that will allow you to confidently make connections by having conversations that deeply resonate and stick.
Qualifies for .75 CE hour.
Option 2: Emerging Leaders Breakout Session: Quit the Shoulds: Using the Five-Step Focus Method to Live a Happier, More Inspired Life
It’s easy to listen to a motivational speaker say things like “Trust yourself!” “Be yourself!” and “Shut out those inner voices!” You feel that warm, inspired conference glow, ready to conquer the world! And then…real life sets in, and the glow starts to fade. This session is all about keeping that glow going.
Together, we’re going to explore specifically what “shoulds” you’re holding onto, how you can begin to let them go, and how you can give that teeny tiny voice (yours!) more airtime.
Attendees will learn
- Which responsibilities, tasks, etc., are swirling in their heads
- How to identify which of those things genuinely light you up and which feel like things you “should” like or do
- Tactics for making a plan for systematically deciding what gets their precious time and attention and what doesn’t, using the five-step focus method
- Ways to say “no” easily and comfortably to those things that don’t light them up
You’ll have worksheets and templates to take away so that you keep that glow going long after!
