Influence Without Authority: Leadership as an Individual Contributor

How can ICs take ownership of their career growth, leverage their knowledge and skills, and make an impact without climbing the ladder? In this workshop we’ll dive into the leadership skills all “rockstars” need to become influential contributors: building trusting workplace relationships, managing up, carving out a niche area of expertise, and connecting the dots from your role to the organizational mission.

Attendees will:

• Gain insight into their unique position of influence within the organization.
• Explore the leadership skills of relationship building, managing up, honing expertise, and aligning work to the organizational mission.
• Identify one skill they want to strategically focus on for the next month.

Additional Session available on Thursday, November 7 from 1-2:30pm PT
