Session Schedule

8:45 - 9: 45 a.m.  The Connected Leader

Presented by Colette Carlson

The future of leadership is human. The ability to create a connection that is real, emotional, and personal drives employee motivation, engagement, and outcomes.

Connected leaders, through their own transparency, inclusion, and accountability, create a psychologically-safe environment where individuals feel like they belong and matter — which is key to job satisfaction and mental health.

In this engaging, uplifting, and research-based program, leaders can greatly improve their ability to communicate and connect on deeper levels.
