Complimentary webinar series to provide insights on leadership development from well-known business leaders
NASHUA, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- SkillSoft today introduced a new webinar series featuring current leading-edge business experts sharing their insights on leadership development. The webinar series, Conversations in Leadership, includes speakers that are featured in SkillSoft’s Leadership Development Channel and 50 Lessons. SkillSoft, a leading SaaS provider of e-learning and performance support solutions for global enterprises, government, education and small-to-medium-sized businesses, is offering the complimentary series to the general public and will feature a new webinar each month beginning in March.
“This new webinar series is a great opportunity to learn about leadership development directly from some of the top business thought leaders and best-selling authors,” said Shawn Hunter, executive producer for SkillSoft's Leadership Development Channel. “We are excited to offer this series to complement our expanding list of leadership videos and interviews. The amount of content SkillSoft offers on its on Leadership Development Channel and 50 Lessons is unmatched and continues to grow, providing employees the essential tools to improve their managerial and leadership skills.”
The first webinar in the Conversations in Leadership series, scheduled for March 6 at 12:00 pm ET, will be an interview with Justin Menkes, Ph.D. around his new book, “Better Under Pressure.” The webinar, hosted by Shawn Hunter, will explore the three cornerstone attributes that Justin believes allow great leaders to realize their potential and that of their people:
- Realistic optimism: They recognize the risks threatening their organization’s survival—yet remain confident that the company will prevail.
- Subservience to purpose: They dedicate themselves to pursuing a noble cause and win their team’s commitment to that cause.
- Finding order in chaos: They find clarity amid the many variables affecting their business and cull data to form the conclusions that matter most to the company.
