I traveled to Stanford, CA for Workshop III of the 2025 Stanford University Technical Leadership program.
This session was held at the Frances C. Arrillaga Alumni Center and focused on the following:
- Appreciating the Impact of Emotional Intelligence
- Courageous Conversations
- Learning to Exercise Influence
- Building Confidence and Resilience
We were introduced to a variety of influence styles that can and should be used based on the particular situation, people and goals that are involved. Examples include leveraging relationships, building goodwill, modeling desired behaviors, inspiration and using authority to provide directives. I found it beneficial to reflect on styles I have used in the past and the factors that led to success or failure.
While on campus I also attended Gender and the 2024 U.S. Elections: Post-Inauguration Perspectives, walked through the Graduate School of Business and attended a Stanford basketball game.
