Join Professor Linda Ginzel, who will share a new take on executive development that provides the tools to develop your leadership skills and improve your life.
Event Details
This event is open to all alumni and guests.
Linda Ginzel will introduce her new book, Choosing Leadership. Choosing Leadership will debunk common myths about leaders and encourage you to follow a personalized path to decide when to manage and when to lead. Choosing Leadership puts the responsibility for personal growth and professional development in your own hands. It gives you the opportunity to answer tough questions of yourself, process your own life lessons, reflect on your own experiences, and change your future.
Professor Ginzel has been choosing leadership long before she decided to write this book. From pioneering the volunteer student council at Gorman Junior High School in Colorado Springs, establishing the first Psi Chi Chapter at Denver's Metropolitan State College, creating the business of customized executive education at the Chicago's Booth School of Business and founding the influential nonprofit organization KID. Her mission is to guide others in how to be wiser, younger.
