We, at Spelman College, believe women who lead with purpose integrate their varied roles and personal and professional priorities into a sturdy foundation from which they provide leadership. Their leadership identity is well-considered, authentic and intentional. These leaders realize in order to be effective, their values and goals must be aligned.
Those who lead with purpose also understand the importance of maintaining a good work-life balance and encourage others to do the same. They seek like-minded mentors who can help them breathe professional visions to life, while also reaching back to mentor others. They understand the value of leading with innovation and the vital role played by renewal and change. Most of all, they display integrity that comes from true self-exploration and a desire to make a lasting and valuable contribution to their loved ones, communities and workplaces. These people … lead with purpose.
During the conference, renowned and diverse thought leaders will lead discussions about what it means to lead with purpose. A conference coach and a fitness expert will help attendees consider how to merge their professional and personal goals. Conference sessions will provide the tools and information you need to turn your visions of leadership into professional and personal purpose statements.
You will leave the conference prepared to lead with purpose in ways that are effective and sustainable.
