As part of our ongoing effort to offer leadership training for our members and their workforce, NJBIA is again offering professional leadership development in 2023.
This professional development opportunity will consist of quarterly online sessions, 2-hours each, and includes attendance at our well-regarded Women Business Leaders Forum in September. It is designed to help attendees achieve what it takes to excel in today’s competitive and ever-changing business climate.
This training aims to delve into distinct leadership pressure points, the evolution of the leadership skillset, reaction and response, and identifying leadership blind spots to ensure that managers feel empowered to lead. This focus will help ensure leaders have the space to create a climate in which employees contribute, feel trusted, creative, and motivated.
Session 4 – Blind Spots
- How to rock-the-boat (but not too much)
- Mentor-mentee relations
- Empowering employees to make positive changes.
- Leveraging the culture
Meet Our Featured Speakers
Casey Carpenter
CEO & Founder, Speak & Own It Communications
Casey is a speaker, author, leadership development expert and executive coach. During her career she closed millions of dollars in sales yet had humble beginnings. An introvert and reformed wallflower, she almost was fired from her first sales job. She saved her job when she won a district-level speech competition and stumbled onto a key realization – when you master your speaking and presence, you can win over any room, anywhere. She went on to smash sales records, enjoyed promotions and spent the latter part of her corporate career training and mentoring.
Casey was a senior leader at Aetna, Cigna, and Sunrise Senior Living. At EmblemHealth she trained a sales force of several hundred and coached leaders and high potentials to improve their performance. Currently CEO & Founder of Speak & Own It Communications, she focuses on women executives across all industries to connect, lead, pitch, and speak and own every room in virtual and hybrid worlds. She is a Guide for Chief, a private network for the most powerful women in leadership, facilitating peer group discussions for C-suite women leaders. Her keynote and training, “Amplify Your Voice, Elevate Your Leadership,” guides participants at the intersection of presence and leadership, as “we speak to lead.” Casey breaks down current events that impact leadership communication and builds strategies to overcome them so that leaders communicate with impact and empathy.
She is the TD Bank & Morris Chamber 2022 “Woman of Achievement” award recipient, overcoming adversity, and propelling women forward to greater personal and professional success.
When she’s not working on her enterprise, Casey is all about philanthropy & women:
- Pitch/Mentor Coach for inner city women entrepreneurs at Rising Tide Capital
