Webinar | Elevate Your Brand: Leadership Competencies, Career Growth, and Faculty Opportunities

EDUCAUSE has collected more than four years of leadership and management competency data across areas such as decision-making, communication, team development, financial management, institutional change, and strategic leadership. In this session, we’ll share key insights from the dataset to illuminate today’s leadership landscape in higher education. Participants will gain practical tools to assess individual and team strengths, design personalized professional development plans, and explore ways to expand their professional impact. The session will also highlight opportunities to contribute, including serving as faculty in EDUCAUSE programs. Participants will leave equipped to build a comprehensive plan that integrates volunteering, learning, authoring, and leadership to strengthen their brands, broaden their networks, and accelerate their careers.
