The Power of Leading from Within Workshop: Building Sources of Confidence, Credibility and Connection
As a leader, true power comes from your ability to authentically connect with others and inspire them to action. Instead of ”power over” (which may come from formal authority or a commanding presence), true leadership requires us to cultivate “power with” the important networks, clients, and communities we serve. To create lasting impact, influence is just as important as authority for long-term success and career satisfaction. Beyond your title, education, or formal authority, true influence is an outcome of internal confidence with external credibility. There’s no “one size fits all” when it comes to being a powerful leader. This workshop helps identify your individual “power equation” through the lens of confidence, credibility, and connection. Participants learn how to “get out of their own way” as they seek greater levels of leadership effectiveness and reach. Inspirational, educational, and actionable, Dr. Harbison’s workshops are specifically tailored to senior leaders striving to increase their contribution, impact, and legacy within the organizations and communities they serve.
