8:30 a.m. - 10 a.m. NBMBAA Leadership Institute® Kick-Off Breakfast: Leading with Integrity in Times of Uncertainty
Integrity is an invaluable trait viewed as one of the pillars of leadership. It can help define a company’s values and culture, impacting the bottom line. At this LI Breakfast, a top executive defines how to lead with integrity in an evolving workplace landscape. The conversation will discuss actionable integrity and how ethical management can positively shape the future of an organization and the career span of its employees.
Invocator: Pastor Christopher A. Wimberly, Sr. Pastor, Hunter Hill First Baptist Church
Leaders who want to leverage their influence within and beyond their organization must, of necessity, focus on three critical areas of ongoing development—whatever the stage of career: Leading Self, Leading Others, and Leading the Organization. It is a three-legged stool, and all three “legs” are needed to move onward and upward in career progression. This one-day leadership training will show how to harness all three, and the intentional actions to ensure balance, and thus the growth of influence.

The unfortunate fact is that stress is a very real byproduct of success. When you add global instability, social unrest, and a never-ending pandemic to family drama and the relentless pressure to deliver results at work, it’s a miracle that any of us ever get out of bed.

Join our panel of experts for an important talk about taking care of your most valuable asset.
The panic around Critical Race Theory (CRT) has reached a fevered pitch. Misperceptions and demonization of this legal concept have swung local elections, gotten books banned, and threatened to erase the teaching of Black history in many spaces. We’ll examine the impact that these attacks are having on diversity, equity & inclusion and discuss how we can overcome this latest backlash to racial justice.
