May 10: InPower Coffee Break with Lynn Borton and Leading through Curiosity

by | May 5, 2016 | Coffee Break

What does it mean to lead through curiosity?

We will be having a conversation with Lynn Borton, a facilitator—of conversations and transformation—with more than two decades of experience in governance and change management in the non-profit sector. For nearly 25 years she worked with NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness – the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization), capped by a dozen years as chief operating officer. In the summer of 2014 a confluence of events reminded her that life is short and in 2015 she left NAMI to write and consult.  Lynn is producer and host of Choose to be Curiousa newly-launched biweekly radio show on WERA-LP 96.7 FM in Arlington, Va. Follow Lynn on Facebook.

We will be learning about curiosity, how it can enhance leadership and make you a generally better leader in your organization.
