THE KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
Seth Mattison | Co-Founder & Chief Movement Officer of Luminate
Monday MainStage – Go First Leadership
In order to effectively lead others today we must first be able to lead ourselves. As traditional hierarchies are reexamined and leadership becomes less about title, tenure, and time at the organization and more about influence, impact, and social capital; our ability to develop, cultivate, and grow our personal presence and own our capacity to show up as our full selves every single day will become the new mandate for leadership in the connected age.
