TOPIC: Transformational Leadership
Navigating the pressures of leadership - especially with the ever-changing, fear-based messaging about the market - is not for everyone. Peak pressure moments are riddled with anxiety that leaders must learn to manage, not ignore. Many successful leaders we watch today possess key skills, behaviors, and mindsets that prevent them from overreacting to yesterday’s developments and help them look ahead with a fierce focus.

Leading Under Pressure
Our final session is about Leading Under Pressure.
Let’s face it, every leader faces stress regardless of title, experience, or personality. The stress struggle is real, and in today’s work environment one thing’s for certain – stress can define who you are if you let it.
Regardless of whether the pressure is self-imposed, from your boss, team, or the situation itself, how you respond matters most.
Today, leaders will share how they have navigated the pressures of leadership - amid hurricanes, career changes, and the ever-changing, fear-based messaging about the market.
Get ready to hear Tiffany McQuaid, Ginger Wilcox, and Kymberley Dumas share their advice about leading under pressure. "Share some of your key takeaways when you feel pressure in your work.."
 | Tiffany McQuaid It doesn’t matter what is brewing… get ahead with your communication and the plan. Comfort them. Show intense caring. |
 | Ginger Wilcox Eliminate distractions! BELIEVE THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY! |
 | Kymberley Dumas There is no success without trial. When you're managing so much, it is only natural to feel pressure and sometimes anxiety. For me, I feel it and once I find my flow it comes naturally. |
