About the Presentation:
According to a leadership study conducted by McKinsey, there are 4 common qualities leaders exhibit of high performing teams, which includes being supportive, results driven, seeks different perspectives, and solves problems effectively. Developing leadership skills takes purposeful practice over time and the ability to see the trees from the forest in complex and emotional environments. Fight, flight or fawn is a natural human response in intense moments. However, that is when leaders need to rise up and be able to take action.
Women in positions of leadership are in a fishbowl. With every move, there are judgements externally, and sometimes most of all of ourselves.
Attend this session to learn how to:
• How to quickly problem solve when called upon
• Identify what you can and can’t control and take action
• Lean into your strengths
• Have confidence in your decisions

It can be easy to get lost in a family business. Not knowing who you are and what you want to from what the family, key leaders, and anyone who has an opinion or stake in your or the business’s future. Constant conflict or shutting down to what you want are common when trying your best to navigate a win-win-win. Sadly, what we forget is we often lose in that scenario. Balancing self, family, and business requires proactive work, otherwise, resentment builds.
Family members who work in a family business have to work harder to find personal independence because they are so close to “the tree” of family and key leader stereotypes, and the baggage that can come from assumed enablement of the family business environment.
This discussion focuses on 4 strategies to fulfill your personal goals and create an environment for you to be the best you can be for yourself and those around you.
Presenter is Kendall Rawls, the Rawls Group. Kendall has done other webinars for our group.
