Facilitated by: Dr. Darlene Thompson

Session Two: Owning your Leadership Style

August 13, 2025 | 12:00 - 1:30 PM

Session Three: Playing to your Strengths

August 20, 2025 | 12:00 - 1:30 PM

Virtual

-> In this session, we’ll explore how to double down on what you’re good at, get even better at those skills, and effectively delegate tasks that fall outside your strengths. By identifying and embracing your strengths, you’ll work smarter—not harder—enhancing both your personal and team success.

Facilitated by: George Sample

Session Four: Cross-Generational Leadership

August 27, 2025 | 8:30 - 10:30 AM

The Cleveland Foundation

-> This session will provide strategies for building influence with senior leaders ("managing up"), developing strong relationships across generations, and leading effectively within your team ("managing down"). You’ll also learn how to foster cross-generational leadership, understand different generational work styles, and leverage those differences to create a more cohesive and successful work environment.
