1 - 1.5 CPE There are an abundance of books, articles, courses and seminars on leadership. Many are taught by outstanding corporate or political leaders who have made their mark in the world. The learnings come from the successes and failures experienced by individuals while working their way through the organizational structure.
However, what these leadership classes don’t tell us is how to “find the leader within”. In other words, not everyone is meant to be a corporate CEO, but that does not mean you can’t be a leader. The connotation of leadership extends far beyond any individual corporate title.
Why Should You Attend
This course will step beyond the traditional leadership styles and techniques and challenge you to identify your individual talents and the leader within. We will step into the psychology of what it takes to be a leader in today’s business world and discuss how you can evaluate your own individual skills and traits to determine your personal leadership path on your way to a successful career. We will use real life scenarios and examples of today’s leaders and evaluate how those successes/failures impacted their individual careers and futures. You will come away from this session with a method to help you identify your individual leadership aspirations and a path to success.
- Leadership in today’s business world – what it takes
- Defining the meaning of leadership and its application to individual roles
- How personalities, culture, organizational setting contribute to leadership styles.
- Finding your passion and building it into a leadership profile.
Learning Objectives
- Discover leadership in today’s business world and what it takes to be a leader
- Define the meaning of leadership and its application to individual roles
- Identify how personalities, culture, organizational setting contribute to leadership styles.

The presentor is very good and the topics covered are really interesting. This course is helpful to all the leaders and aspiring leaders. It provides examples that is easy to apply in real life situations. The time allotted to the course is about right. It is good in general except for one part where the background is quite noisy.

There are some great concepts in this session, such as personal or professional leadership roles, informal or formal leadership, and leadership over ones lifetime. Sometimes a bit repetitive, but worthwhile nonetheless!

Excellent! Really enjoyed the section on Building Your Leadership Profile. This course is helpful to both leaders and aspiring leaders. It would be helpful for any type of leader, even Fortune 500 C-Suite Executives.

I am a better leader in part to the classes that mentor me from Lynn. She has such a way of communicating the meat of the issues. It rings true and it hits home. Thanks Lynn for yet another wonderful class.

This course was very inspiring and helpful, it's interesting to learn that we can find our leader within in certain situations and that your existing position or organization does not dictate it.

Great course on what being a leader truly means. It’s not about title, position, salary, etc., but rather about how you carry yourself in your professional and personal life. You define that!

good topic that inspires you to look within yourself at what type of leader you want to be. Also love the point on not being a leader in every situation.

I really enjoyed the examples of good leaders and the bits about how you don't have to be an extrovert, everyone can find their own leadership style.

A good course to listen too and recall good leadership qualities, but a lot of it was really common sense and not too many ah-ha moments.
