Presentation transcript:

Lessons Learned on an Introvert’s Journey to Leadership Many technical communicators are introverts who may feel unsuited or unequipped for leadership. They may feel stymied in how to take that next step that will increase their influence and improve their visibility. The speaker will describe his leadership journey from a dedicated but shy team member to a recognized effective leader at the local and international level. The speaker will share the key steps he took and the experiences that have helped him become a successful leader. Attendees will learn how to identity their strengths and opportunities to grow in leadership and make a positive impact on the profession. Attendees will also learn what becoming a leader can do for them. Spotlight Outline Who I was Who I am Key steps and experiences (What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger?) Why becoming a leader will benefit you Wrap up This presentation builds on Empowering the Introvert Within: Becoming a Successful Leader that Hannah Morgan and I presented at last year's Spectrum and Summit conferences. This presentation will present actionable steps. I will be presenting this one solo. September 2018 Ben Woelk http://benwoelk.com/
