Educational Breakout Session 6: Leadership – There is No Perfect, Only Better


Ross Gibson, Director, Client Services, The Richards Group

Golfers have a great saying: “Golf is not a game of perfection!” The same can be applied to leadership; there is no end destination, just an amazing and critically important journey. In this thought-provoking, slightly provocative, and hands-on workshop, Ross Gibson, a lifelong student and applicant of leadership will facilitate about leadership, what it is, how it is different from management and how participants can move the lever towards better, more engaging leadership in their organizations, teams, and any other aspect of their lives. Ross draws from life experience, excellent mentors/role models, and extensive study of the thought leaders on leadership including Stephen Covey, Brené Brown, John Maxwell, Amy Edmondson and more.  Participants will come away with references and resource recommendations to continue their leadership journeys.  Ross will also provide what he feels are the three keys to unlocking higher and more effective skills to better leadership.

1:30 PM - 3:00 PM
