  • Summary

  • Be the leader you wish you'd had. If you are insanely technically qualified (an engineer, metallurgist, actuary, accountant) and you have until recently always relied on your OWN skills to get ahead, you may have encountered a daunting challenge that your technical skills don’t help you conquer - getting OTHERS to perform. You are not alone! Join us as we discuss and share learnings from our own experiences and the many conversations we have had with leaders as they journey from overalls to chinos, and steel caps to stilettos.
