Read to Lead: Leadership Impact

Program Overview

Join us for a thought-provoking Read to Lead session featuring Leadership Impact. This book challenges leaders to examine the ripple effects of their choices, communication, and presence—and to intentionally shape the kind of influence they want to have on individuals, teams, and communities.

Session Focus

Through guided discussion and reflection, we’ll explore how leadership is more than position or authority—it is about impact. Participants will be encouraged to connect the book’s insights to their own leadership journeys and consider practical ways to lead with purpose and clarity.

 Key Themes:

• The difference between intent and impact in leadership
• Recognizing the influence of behavior, mindset, and language
• Building trust and alignment within teams
• Leading with vision and values to create lasting change
• Developing strategies to strengthen personal leadership impact

• Gain actionable tools to increase your leadership effectiveness
• Learn from peers across different sectors and experiences
• Reflect on how your leadership is experienced by others
• Leave with concrete steps to expand your positive impact

Who Should Attend?

This session is open to emerging leaders, current managers, executives, and anyone seeking to understand how their leadership presence shapes outcomes.

Note: You do not have to read the book to participate—everyone is welcome! Reading it beforehand, however, will make the discussion more robust and enriching.
