As General Counsel, we must develop a 'trusted brand' in order to be seen as a reliable source of information and influence business decisions. However understanding and leveraging your 'individual brand' and skill set can be key to securing successful partnerships across the business, engaging your team and driving the business forward. Authenticity can be vital to showcasing your brand and gaining buy in, but balancing authenticity and vulnerability can be challenging. In this session, we will explore emotional intelligence in leadership, banishing stereotypes and growing your own leadership style to assist in gaining buy in from your team and wider company.
