Sept. 16, 10:00am EDT: Opening Keynote

Energy Leadership: Enhancing Leadership & Professional Relationships
Erin Slater

Our “new normal” isn’t so new and still doesn’t feel normal. Public education foundation leaders are working in overdrive to find the best path forward, many in a volunteer capacity, and it’s easy to forget about themselves and their own needs as leaders. Being an effective leader requires you to be engaging and ﬂexible yet also powerful enough to motivate and inspire others. Add in the complexities of recent national and global events, work environments and interpersonal dynamics; it’s not easy to execute your priorities and get what you want out of situations. That said, your work matters. It matters to school districts, to teachers, and most importantly, to students in your communities. You matter.

In this session, we will create some space just for you to take a deep breath and ask yourself as a nonprofit leader why you do what you do and what it is that you truly need to be able to do your best work. You will learn about the seven levels of Energy Leadership™, the benefits and challenges of each and how to shift away from your stress triggers. Practicing these levels will support your leadership inﬂuence and help you to maximize relationships, communicate more effectively, get more done with less effort and focus on what really matters.
