[**Leadership Purpose**](https://aspire.loyola.edu/products/2667001914?hsLang=en)

**Wednesday, April 10, 2024  |  11:00am - 1:00pm (Eastern Time)**

With the volatility and constant change of the current business environment, leaders must be adaptable and flexible. However, the day-to-day pressures can obscure the greater vision of a leader. Why does your leadership position exist? This two-hour workshop will allow leaders to define their vision and take action to realize it. 

Participants will create a leadership purpose statement and actions to achieve that purpose. Understanding one’s leadership purpose allows individuals to lead with clarity. The statement succinctly states why a leadership role exists, sets clear priorities, and states the impact the leader will make. 

In a highly interactive and experiential session participants will complete: (1) an analysis of what organizational success is 12 months in the future, (2) a vision of their leadership to achieve that success, (3) a self-assessment of their current state and challenges, and (4) a personal leadership purpose statement and several specific actions to obtain their vision.

 

[**Executive Presence**](https://aspire.loyola.edu/products/2667008284?hsLang=en)

**Wednesday, April 17, 2024  |  11:00am - 1:00pm (Eastern Time)**

Education, performance, dedication, may get you recognized and promoted to a certain level.

But “leadership potential” is not always enough to allow you to realize your full potential. Ever feel that you have been overlooked for a promotion when you were fully qualified? It may be because you do not “look” the part. It is not just competence that get one promoted. Sometimes the only thing holding excellent leaders back is their “executive presence”.  

This 2.0-hour workshop examines the elements of executive presence. What it is in general and what it is in your organization. Participants will: (1) examine a generic model of executive presence, (2) create an appropriate definition of executive presence for their current position and the next level, (3) conduct an assessment of their executive presence, and (4) develop an action plan to develop their executive presence. 

 

[**Strategic Thinking**](https://aspire.loyola.edu/products/2667072313?hsLang=en)

**Wednesday, April 24, 2024  |  11:00am - 1:00pm (Eastern Time)**

Ever been part of meeting when you had the feeling the team was not thinking broadly, deeply, or long-term enough. Strategic thinking is a way of approaching organizational decisions and challenging the current thinking. Not only your thinking, but the thinking of others on your team. It is challenging the current way of doing business by thinking several level up and down, taking the perspectives of others, and think long-term. 

Strategic thinking is not reserved for only the c-suite. It is a valuable skill at every level. In this workshop participants explore a model that outlines areas for individuals and teams to explore to think strategically. 

This 2.0-hour workshop examines four elements of strategic thinking. What it is in general and what it is in their organization. 

Participants will: (1) examine a model for strategic thinking, (2) analyze their current position against the model and assess themselves, (3) create an action plan to develop their executive presence.
