My Leadership Journey Workshop
This will serve as an anchor for reflection; a celebration of your accomplishments in the past three years; and, a springboard into your future.
In this interactive session led by Mark Rittenberg and the Leadership Communications team, you will have a chance to creatively reflect on the professional and personal experiences that have made you the leader you are. You will delve into the authenticity of your leadership, explore the heart and meaning of your experience as an individual, and define who you are right now and who you want to be. In this experiential and community building session, you will deepen connections with your classmates through storytelling and shared exploration.

After the Awards Banquet, the shuttles will transport attendees back to the InterContinental San Francisco Hotel. The theme for this year is Black Tie Formal so come dressed to impress!
