This webinar will help attendees consider their own purpose in life and how this purpose relates to their roles as leaders. It will step participants through a process by which they can craft a personalized, powerful purpose statement and relate this statement to each area of their lives. In addition, this presentation will cover how leaders can lead their teams and organizations in purpose-centered ways, such as having purpose-based discussions with their direct reports and organizing personal and professional goals around a person’s purpose. Key benefits that might result from leading with purpose include increased resilience, reduced professional burnout, greater self-awareness, and more effective goal-setting.
A live question-and-answer session will follow the presentation.
Learning Objective: Attendees will be able to create and articulate a personalized leadership purpose statement and apply strategies to enhance team resilience and align institutional goals with individual and collective purpose.
The Leading with Purpose webinar is a part of the Professional Intelligence learning domain within the NACUFS Body of Knowledge.
