Leadership Winston-Salem’s Post

Thank you, Women for Economic Leadership and Development (WELD) and Otterbein University for co-hosting the 14th Anniversary National Leadership Conference on June 20th. The presentations by accomplished speakers and a variety of breakout sessions hit the mark to support this year’s theme, “Rise. Thrive. Lead. Building Strong Networks and Allies!” My key takeaways for making new connections and building relationships include: · A negotiator mindset is critical for successful business & family communications (especially when talking with my teenage sons). · Confidence matters!  · Improve relationships by actively listening & asking questions. · One size does not fit all! Adapt your leadership style to each unique situation or task.

At the National Community Leadership Collaborative (NCLC), we believe that true leadership embraces diversity, bridges divides, and unites people around common goals. Today, we're highlighting the stories of four remarkable elected officials who exemplify what it means to lead across differences. These leaders—each a graduate of a community leadership program in different parts of the country—have gained essential skills for navigating diverse perspectives, resolving conflicts, and building trust. Through their experiences, they show us how inclusive leadership can create meaningful change in our communities. Meet our featured leaders: 🔹 Aftab Pureval, Mayor of #Cincinnati, Ohio – C-Change 2014 and Leadership Cincinnati, Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber 🔹 Martha Choe, Former Seattle City Councilmember – Leadership Tomorrow 1984 (#Seattle, Washington) Leadership Tomorrow 🔹 Craig Greenberg, Mayor of #Louisville, Kentucky – Leadership Louisville 2004 and Bingham Fellows 2005 Leadership Louisville Center 🔹 Rudy Metayer, Councilmember of Pflugerville, #Texas – Leadership Austin Emerge 2011 and Leadership Austin Essentials 2015 Leadership Austin Their stories remind us that leadership is about more than just holding office—it's about listening deeply, engaging authentically, and bringing people together across divides to create stronger, more inclusive communities.

Is Inclusive Leadership Missing from Your Training? Here's a snippet from our recent IDEAS Global Live panel discussing DEI pushback, where Christina Guckert, Head of DIB & Emerging Talent at Reddit, touches on leadership training, and that there’s often a glaring omission: inclusive leadership. Inclusive leadership fosters a supportive environment, drives team success, and enhances the overall employee experience. It shouldn't be an afterthought or a competing priority; it should be integral to how we define effective leadership. By teaching leaders to be self-reflective, recognize their biases, and make equitable decisions, we create a more dynamic and successful workforce. It’s time we make inclusive leadership a core part of the leadership learning journey from the very beginning.

We'll be discussing the intersection of DEI, social responsibility, and CSR.

Had the privilege of presenting on Cultivating Executive Presence to a phenomenal group of Latina lawyers during the Hispanic National Bar Association’s Latina Leadership Academy today in Washington, DC! 🙌 The engagement and energy were incredible. Here are 3 key takeaways we discussed: 1. How we show up matters – executive presence is about projecting confidence and competence, while staying true to who you are. 2. Traditional Latino values, like humility and respect, can both enhance and challenge how we lead in corporate environments. 3. The 3 pillars of executive presence – gravitas, communication, and appearance – are essential for navigating and excelling in leadership roles. Loved the conversation and the insights shared! 💼✨ #LatinaLeadership #ExecutivePresence #WomenInLaw
