Hard Lessons Hidden in Soft Leadership Skills
You're invited to join 21CSLA for an inspiring FREE professional learning session, "Hard Lessons Hidden in Soft Leadership Skills,” designed to deepen your leadership capacity through a thoughtful exploration of the often-overlooked skills that define truly effective leaders.
In this engaging session, we will delve into essential competencies— such as emotional intelligence and regulation, decision making under uncertainty, giving and receiving feedback, managing conflict, navigating organizational politics, empathy and perspective-taking, and active and reflective listening—that are rarely taught in textbooks but are cultivated through lived experience, meaningful mentorship, and intentional self-reflection.
Whether you're a new or seasoned leader, this session offers practical strategies, peer collaboration, rehearsal space, and reflective practices to support your personal and professional growth. Don’t miss this opportunity to strengthen your leadership impact from the inside out!
