Event Type : Seminar

Join Christine Brown-Quinn and Miranda Sharp and find out how to translate your personal story into a unique leadership approach & style.

Looking elsewhere for inspiration can sometimes be tricky as it takes us further away from who we are, what we have to offer, and how we’re at our best. Leaning into what you value, and the experiences you’ve had (the positive and the negative) is what makes you unique. The irony is the more you’re honest about the ‘face’ you’re sharing with the others, the more others like you and want to connect with you.

According to the 2023 Deloitte’s DEI Institute™, 60% of workers report ‘covering’ (hiding who they really are) at work within the last 12 months. This is nearly the same percentage (61%) of respondents who reported covering at work in their 2013 report. It doesn’t appear that the pandemic had lasting effect in making us more human at work.

Christine Brown-Quinn, The Female Capitalist® welcomes data science entrepreneur Miranda Sharp to the Career Masterclass Series to hear how she has shaped her powerful and distinctive leadership style by unreservedly owning the joy and pain of her personal story.

To find out how to translate your personal story into a unique leadership approach & style, join the webinar “Make the Person You Are Your Competitive Advantage” on Thursday, the 25th of April 2024 at noon London.

Look forward to “seeing” you on Thursday, the 25th of April at noon London time.
