What's Your Leadership Type?

Are you ready to embark on a transformative journey that will empower you to lead authentically and effectively, break through barriers, and inspire change? In this keynote session, Laura Barnard, the visionary Founder of BREAKTHRU Brands, will introduce you to The Spectrum of Leadership Empowerment — an expansive and inclusive leadership development model designed to inspire you to think internally, in terms of identifying your motivations to lead, as well as externally, in terms of stepping into your greatest power as a leader. During the session, Barnard will invite you to explore and chart your own unique Leadership Type through a self-guided, online Leadership Types Quiz. At the end of the session, she will provide you with recommendations on how to apply these learnings to build your strong, authentic Leadership Brand.

Building your BOLD Brand As a Leader

During this empowering keynote, Laura Barnard, the visionary Founder of BREAKTHRU Brands, will expertly guide you to be more B.O.L.D. (Brave, Outspoken, Lucid, and Distinct) as a leader. Attendees will be equipped with self-reflection exercises, strategies, and tactics to begin to build their own, authentic Leadership Brands in service of their purpose, mission, vision, values and intended impact as leaders. This session is particularly impactful for underrepresented leaders and those in a position to empower underrepresented leaders within their organization or team.

Testimonials (1)

Laura facilitated an engaging and inspiring session on leadership types for a diverse group of our employees across the country. The BREAKTHRU Brands leadership type tool has such an empowering approach that it gives folks the breath of fresh air needed to re-examine their brand and truly believe in themselves as leaders. After Laura's session, I've had folks recalling and using the types to think more broadly about the impact they can have. That's very much thanks to the picture Laura painted of what they could be, limitations aside.
