Presenter: Melissa Batchelor, PhD, RN-BC, FNP-BC

While top-tiered, peer-reviewed publications remain the gold standard for disseminating science and educational advancements, her various projects demonstrate the power of using technology to translate her expertise in geriatric nursing to reach and teach undergraduate and graduate students about a wide array of gerontological nursing topics, in addition to age-friendly initiatives, in an effort to improve the health of older adults in our communities.

Leveraging Your Leadership in the Space that You are in
September 28, 2017; 4-5 P.M. EST
What makes a leader? We often hear the phrase, “She’s a born leader.” That may be true, but can leadership be learned as well? Absolutely, yes! If you are trying to figure out how to take on more leadership roles at work, but getting frustrated by your lack of success, or you are just beginning to think about how to go about taking on leadership roles, this webinar is for you.
Leadership is more than having technical competence in our job roles; it is also about our behaviors and our responses in the range of contexts we find ourselves in. We experience each other through the behaviors we demonstrate in our work and interactions. It is important to recognize how your behaviors and actions in work situations affect how others see you. Subtle changes in your behaviors at work can positively impact your career.
Learning Outcomes:
- Explore the context of leadership behaviors
- Examine personal leadership and mentoring opportunities
- Identify strategies to enhance personal leadership
