2019 YL Conference - Growth Breakout - Kumari Williams

Key Takeaways: Attendees will be able to apply techniques to display authenticity, confidence, resilience and presence in a professional way. Authenticity is the gold standard of leadership. If you are not ready to exhibit yourself in an authentic way, you will experience challenges that will become unsurmountable. Success as it turns out, correlates just as closely with confidence and authenticity as it does with competence and resilience is the capacity to recover from difficulties. It is often described as toughness. As a leader it is important to master these elements of executive presence and use them as you communicate your leadership vision. Executive presence is not a replacement for overall strong leadership skills. But rather for women it is the necessary addition to our skillset that helps to even out an often times unleveled playing field. Lastly, we will address the things knowingly and unknowingly that women do to hold themselves back while their male counterparts move forward in their careers. -- Speaker: Kumari Williams Director, Global Talent Acquisition & Employer Branding HARMAN International
