2. Personal Branding
- Jessica Gleeson, CEO, BrighterBeauty
- Marian Danko, Founder & CEO, weHustle
Everyone has a story to tell. How well are you telling yours? In this workshop, we will explore how to become more intentional about how you show up on LinkedIn and how to use the platform to move you towards goals through personal branding.
Curating your online presence is more important than ever before. How do you become a better author for your next chapter? How do you show up in discussions on topics that are important to you?
In this workshop, we will discuss how to upgrade your LinkedIn strategy to better serve your future goals. LinkedIn has become a must-have tool for business owners, freelancers, or corporate employees for professional branding and networking.
3. Strengthen Your Leadership Coaching using Catch and Shift
- Jeff Hasenfratz, Founder, Mindsight Executive Development Services (美聪); Executive Individual and Team Coach for Reflective Female Leaders; Peacebuilder
The focus of this workshop is improving our ability, as leaders, to help ourselves and others better deal with the stresses of current and future uncertainty. It is meant for thoughtful, reflective leaders – not those whose goal is to fill the air with words to try to impress people.
What you can expect, should you decide to participate: you will receive suggested behaviors and mindsets which, if you adopt and practice them, will improve your leadership and probably your life. What is expected of you: that you show up on time and participate fully, including openly sharing your experiences and thoughts.
How will it flow? It's a workshop, so we'll learn together, through collaboration and exercises. Are you ready?
4. Positive Intelligence: How to Grow your Core Mental Muscles to Thrive During Challenging Times
- Pete Rogers, Director of Counseling, Community Center Shanghai
In this interactive workshop, we'll dive deeply into the questions often asked but rarely answered by high achievers: "Why does it seem so hard for me to get what I want?" "How do my good intentions get derailed, and how can I interrupt this self-destructive pattern?" You'll be introduced to foundational concepts and strategies related to self-awareness and how knowing who you are can lead to consistent high performance as well as increased mental health.
More specifically, you'll learn the following:
· How happiness leads to peak performance and not the other way around
· Recognizing our ability to misinterpret the world around us, and what we can do to change that tendency
· Becoming familiar with your Inner Saboteur and your Inner Sage
· Auditing ourselves on the balance of our motivations (fear/stress/anger vs empathy/curiosity/creativity)
· Why (some) pain can be good for you
· Why mental muscles are more valuable than insight alone
