Innovative leaders are creative visionaries who have big ideas and, most importantly, can motivate people around them to turn those ideas into reality. We learned that developing your innovation capabilities is critical if you want to stay at the forefront of ever-changing trends and create impact. As women leaders, we think there’s a disruptor and innovator in all of us. In this chat, we want you to walk away empowered to:
- Consciously challenge personal, professional and industry assumptions
- Continuously embrace the opportunity mode of thinking and leading with innovation
- Develop empathy for the end customer
- Be a pro at building the buy-in for your ideas
