About The Event
Join us on July 28 from 4–5pm ET for an engaging Women in NAPEO Community Conversation.
Influence and Visibility: Building Trust, Credibility and Impact at Every Career Stage
Leadership isn’t always about having a title. Some of the most important work happens when you’re leading projects, driving change or gaining buy-in from colleagues who don’t report to you. Join us for an interactive discussion on how to build influence, strengthen relationships and advance ideas when you don’t have formal authority. We’ll explore practical strategies for earning trust and creating impact across your organization.
