one who knew how to do

opportunities.”

Successful leaders don’t try to do it all.

22.
Copyright Be Leaderly 2020Copyright Be Leaderly 2020
Leadership is not about doing
more. It’s about
shifting from doing to leading.
From this point forward,
the tasks you let go of can define
you more as a leader than what
you take on.

Lift Others as You Rise
Tuesday, December 8, 2020
Do you want to leave a lasting leadership legacy? As you
become more empowered, look for opportunities to
empower others. Our panel will discuss ways to lead by
example, use your voice to stand up for people who
aren’t being heard, and be a role model, culture shifter,
and bias buster. Don’t just kick open doors. Hold them
open and invite others to step through. (Panel)

The world needs your leadership now—more than ever.
But the tactical skills that have served you well thus far won’t
get you to your next leadership milestone.
To expand your impact beyond what you can accomplish as a
solo performer, rethink where you focus your attention.
Do less.
Lead more.
Engage, inspire, and influence others to collaborate with you.
And become the powerhouse leader
you were meant to be.
