Hardcore Leadership:

Master Lessons for Creating Personal Success

with Leadership / Diversity / Career Executive

Deborah L. Parker



In This Talk We Will Discuss:

Leadership at its core can be a hard business. Sometimes it takes the insight gleaned from a few tough lessons to use this important competency in achieving our goals in work and life.

Also leadership is not a stand-alone skill; it blends other attributes and strengths that we bring from our experiences.  So how do we come to value this mix and use it for success? 

This inspirational session explores a model similar to military service that can facilitate mastering your personal campaign. 




Take-Aways
  • Assess leadership experiences from a variety of situations that can expand your skills

  • Reflect on your personal best traits and qualities that enhance your ‘in charge’ persona


  • Craft a campaign statement that keeps you on track.
