back! SWIM and McKinsey would like to invite you to the Centered Leadership
luncheon on Sept 16 focused on developing female leaders. Details and RSVP

The women of McKinsey & Company invite you to join us for a dialogue on
leadership. The event will take place over lunch on Thursday,
September 16 (details below). <br>
<br>
The lunch's program will focus on "Centered Leadership" - a distinctive
approach to developing female leaders. Centered Leadership was created as
part of the North American Women's initiative at McKinsey, with roots in
positive psychology, research on leadership, and interviews with women
leaders from around the world. It evolved from the desire to
understand what drives success for women and is designed to help women better
cultivate the skills and mindsets needed on their journeys to become
leaders. Its five themes form a holistic approach to leadership
that sustains women as they take on increasingly challenging roles. These
themes are: <br>
<br>
--<i>Meaning</i>: finding your purpose and strengths and deploying them in your
work to flourish <br>
--<i>Energizing:</i> knowing where your energy comes from, how it is
drained, and what you can do to manage it <br>
--<i>Framing</i>: adopting a more constructive way to view your world,
expanding your horizons, and gaining the confidence and resilience to move
ahead <br>
--<i>Connecting</i>: identifying who can help you grow and finding your place
among them <br>
--<i>Engaging</i>: finding your voice and taking ownership of your
opportunities <br>
<br>
We will introduce Centered Leadership and then focus our discussion on
"Energizing." We hope the lunch will be
fun, interesting, and inspiring. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
