In this episode of IncrediPaul Leadership, I share a leadership talk I gave for my non-profit, NALA(STEM)'s Professional Development Series. I talk about leadership being more than a title and it being focused on influence. I mention it a lot but it's worth repeating. This session is interactive and you get to hear feedback from the audience and questions as well. Wherever you are, you can be a leaders, but first you need to see yourself as a leader!

He discusses the different aspects of leadership, including leadership styles, setting vision and goals, and the power of influence. He emphasizes the importance of caring for people and listening as key traits of a leader. Paul also shares statistics on trust in bosses and the lack of leadership training for managers. He addresses common misconceptions about leadership, such as the belief that seniority or work experience automatically make someone a leader. He provides tips for developing leadership skills, including self-reflection, mindset, and continuous learning. He then shifts the focus to NALA, an organization he leads, and how it provides an opportunity for him to practice and empower others in leadership. Finally, Paul introduces the five levels of leadership and explains how they can be applied in various contexts.
