Magnet Manager – Session One: Discovering Your Leadership Purpose

Two years of remote work have challenged even the most inspirational and skilled managers. And the continuing Great Resignation has many of us feeling like our best efforts to groom talent are in vain. These are challenging times but creating a magnetic attraction between employee and manager continues to play a huge role in retaining talent. That, coupled with a sophisticated approach to the agency business propels managers into highly valued leaders.

The seven-part series is designed for people with 0-6 years of experience as a manager and will help develop the mindset and skills that strengthen loyalty, foster client success, and lead to professional growth for you and your teams. Participants can complete all courses in the series to earn a badge or elect to join for only those topics that have become more challenging in today’s virtual environment (e.g., onboarding, delegation, and feedback). All participants are strongly encouraged to also participate in PRC’s UN BIAS series.

Session One: Discovering Your Leadership Purpose 

March 15 (4:00 – 5:00 P.M. ET)
Led by Patrice Tanaka, Joyful Planet LLC

Join Patrice Tanaka, Founder & Chief Joy Officer of Joyful Planet, to learn why discovering and actively living your purpose is the single most powerful thing you can do to UNLEASH your leadership potential and ensure a more successful, fulfilling and joyful life. During this webinar, participants will learn:  

• What is a life purpose and why it matters? How to leverage our talents, expertise, and passion in service of other people and our planet.  
• How a life purpose can focus and drive you to accomplish what matters most in a highly efficient way, creating a powerful, “competitive advantage” in business and life. 
• How sharing your life purpose makes yourself more fully known to others and engages them in a deeper, more authentic, and profound way to start the process of establishing trust – the key for people deciding whether to engage with you, do business with you and even help you achieve what matters most to you. 
• How purpose can help us navigate the challenges of life, including times of pandemic. Being guided by our purpose is like having our own personal North Star.
