Moving on from Individual Contributor: Building Confidence for the Next Step (Alumni Webinar Series)
Date: August 13, 2025
Time: 1:00 pm until 2:00 pm
Location: Virtual Venue (Online)
Moving from team member to team leader is one of the most challenging transitions in a professional’s career. Suddenly, you're no longer just responsible for your own work—you’re guiding others, making decisions, and navigating the shift from “friend and co-worker” to “the boss.” Whether you feel hesitant, overwhelmed, or just unsure how to lead effectively—this session will help you start strong and grow with confidence.
This webinar is designed to help leaders build confidence and navigate this transition with clarity and purpose. Drawing from core leadership theories and practical models, we’ll explore how to shift your mindset, earn trust, and lead with authenticity—without losing the relationships that matter.
Key takeaways include:
· How to navigate the shift from peer to leader without alienating former teammates.
· Why your role is now about influence and vision—not just execution.
· The difference between being responsible for tasks and being accountable to people—and how to model both.
· How to build authority without becoming an authoritarian
