Leadership Empowerment Series 2026 - PART 2

 

Transitioning from Individual Contributor to Manager

 

Thursday, February 26, 2026

12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

 

Have you recently been promoted, stepped into a role with greater leadership responsibility, or are you contemplating the next step in your leadership journey? If so, you may also be wondering… “Now what?”

 

 

 

In this webinar we'll explore the real dynamics, challenges, and day‑to‑day shifts that occur when transitioning into— or returning to— a leadership or supervisory role. Whether you’re moving within your current institution or taking on a new opportunity at another organization, this session will help you navigate the expectations, mindset shifts, and practical realities that come with leading others.

 

 

 

Together, we’ll discuss strategies for building confidence, establishing credibility, managing former peers, and setting yourself up for long‑term success in your new position.
