Lunchtime Learning: Leading While Shy (Virtual) (MSLL020921)

Shyness and leadership don’t seem to go together. Being shy, though, may mean you have some unique leadership strengths you can leverage to make a difference in your organization. In this session we’ll take a close look at what shyness is (and isn’t), how to build your leadership toolkit, and how to support those who want to lead from a place of shyness.
