Facilitator: Natalie Loeb, M.S., Founder of Loeb Leadership Development Group. Read About  Our Facilitator

Workshop description:  This workshop features a professional leadership consultant, who will help participants reflect on issues that women can face in their pursuit of leading change.
Today’s women leaders all started somewhere. The leaders we become evolve. If we are paying attention, hints of who we can be are there as we move throughout the undergraduate years. In this workshop, Natalie will share her story and observations highlighting how young female leaders evolve into strong, competent, credible female leaders when in the pinnacle of their careers. Using data and stories from high achieving women Natalie coached in her career; along with her own story, Natalie will walk you through four key stages of a leader’s career and questions to consider along the way. Participants will explore:

– The critical role of “questioning” in success
– What it means to “yield” and how to do it effectively
– How to prepare to “own it” as you journey towards a personal definition of success.
